Religious believers constantly quarrel with one another, claiming that their religion is superior to other religions. They haven't the intelligence to understand that in reality there is nothing to exist other than the universal God, which is present in the form of the Spirit. The Spirit is the Self.
Religion can never make you know God. Only an intense urge to know what God is supposed to be in truth can make you realize God. The Soul, the Self, is the Infinite God.
The Soul, the ‘Self', is the Infinite God.
The Soul is the Self. God is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. God is the fullness of the consciousness without the illusory division of form, time, and space. Therefore, there is nothing apart from it.
Every religion concocts a God to suit its own purposes. Such religiously concocted Gods are not God in truth.
God in truth is the Atman, which is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is Brahman or the Vedic God.
Rig Veda: ~ The Atman (Soul) is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman, the Self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman, nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)
Rig Veda:~ ‘Prajnanam Brahma’ - Consciousness is the ultimate reality.
Yajurveda – chapter- 32: ~ “It has been said that God Supreme or Supreme Spirit has no ‘Pratima’ (idol) or material shape. God cannot be seen directly by anyone. God pervades all beings and all directions. Thus, Idolatry does not find any support from the Vedas.
The Vedas exclaim from time immemorial: ~
Rig Veda, 1-164-146. :~ ‘Ekam Sat Vipra Bahudha Vadanti’- Existence is One.
God is one and universal. God is hidden by the universe. The universe is the product of ignorance.
God is the Spirit. The Spirit is the Soul, the Self. God is the Soul, the Self. The Soul is the Supreme Being the One eternal homogeneous essence, indivisible consciousness, and intelligence, which is beyond the form, time, and space. To which the Sages describe in a variety of ways through diverse words.
Bhagavad Gita: ~ ‘Brahmano hi pratisthaham’- Brahman (God in truth) is considered the all-pervading consciousness which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. (Gita 14.27)
Upanishads say in effect that: ~ if you believe that the Soul is one and God (Brahman) is another, you cannot understand Truth.
Brihad Upanishad: ~ “If you think there is another entity, whether man or God, there is no truth.”
The man himself suggests that there must be a God. It is an auto-suggestion. God based on blind belief is not God in truth. God based on blind belief cannot exist without the believer. Each religion has its own idea of God.
Prayers and sacrifices belong to the religion. Belief in religious God kills man’s ability to think beyond the illusory form, time, and space. Thus, religion makes one remain in the prison of physicality.
When no answers come to prayers and rituals, the struggle for existence presses man, and doubt arises again.
Faith in religion weakens as the man pays more attention to the facts of life and this world. Religion is not the means to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
