All religions survive on myth because the religions are based on the belief not truth. The rationalists would be on the more solid ground if they attacked myths of all religions.
Unfortunately, every religion is attacking the other considering them to be a myth. The only way out is to unfold the mystery of the existence.
Many paths, theories, and practices make one confused about which path and practice to use because each one of them claims to get the truth.
Everyone tries this and still one is unable to unfold the mystery. The mystery of the existence becomes a distant dream.
Religious truth is individual truth and it is not universal truth because religion is based on individuality. Spiritual truth is the universal truth.
There is no scope for individuality in the realm of ultimate truth or Brahman. In the realm of ultimate truth or Brahman the form, time, and space are one in essence. The essence is consciousness (Soul), the Self. Thus, consciousness alone is real and eternal and all else is mere illusion.
The scriptures give many advice and remedies and each of them claims to be infallible. It is high time for us to shift our attention from all the theories and practices that are based on the physical self and indulge in self-analysis and discover the facts of his own existence.
Yoga Vasistha:~ "Teachers, interpretations of sacred texts, the force of religious merit--none of these lead to the realization of that Ultimate Truth which is revealed in the clear reflection of the heart, engendered from contact with the good."
The only way to unfold the mystery of the existence is a deeper self -search helps the seeker of the truth to discover and realize the true facts of his own existence through inquiry and reasoning without the help of religion, glorifying Gods and Gurus, scriptural studies or yogic practice.
When the seeker becomes aware of the facts of his own existence and realizes that the sense of ‘I’ is not Self. The sense of ‘I’ is the whole experience of the Waking state or experience of a dream state.
Thus, the seeker realizes that whatever he believed and experienced as reality on the base of a sense of ‘I’ is merely an illusion. Since the formless non-dual substance of the ‘I’ is the Self’ Thus, it is necessary to seek the truth. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
