Brahman is absolutely free from all the limitations of Maya.+

Advaita is the rational truth and uncontradictable truth or scientific truth. This scientific truth of the whole, not a part is declared by Sage Sankara, and Sage Goudpada 1400 years ago and thought only to those of higher intellect who are receptive.

Thus, karma and Upasana, yoga, and orthodoxy have to be bifurcated to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman.

Sage Sankara:~ VC "All this universe which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Brahman which is absolutely free from all the limitations of Maya.
It is this Supreme Oneness which alone is real since there is nothing else but the ‘Self’. Verily, there remains no other independent entity in the state of realization of the highest Truth."
The battle is between scientific attitude and religious faith. The scientific Spirit requires that one has to accept nothing as truth unless it can be verified by experiment. Scientific inquiry is to disprove the hypothesis not buttress it. Science rewrites its textbooks all the time.
In stark contrast, religious texts are sacred; they are untenable. Science holds a hypothesis untrue if it does not satisfy even one out of a hundred conditions. For faithful belief is sanctified even if comes true only once in a thousand times.
In the modern age, the proposition that science will replace faith has become an attractive one. Much that was a mystery earlier has now been rationalized through scientific discoveries. Inevitably many more mysteries of the present also will be explained in the years to come. But science has its limitations. For example, it can theories how the universe began with the Big Bang, but not explain what agency caused it. Scientific theories also are fickle. Science propagates knowledge; it does not necessarily confirm wisdom.
There is no scientific proof that God exists; neither is there any proof that God does not exist. That is where rational drift outside the scientific path. They make assertions matters of faith, forgetting their own principles. They can say at the most there is no proof of Gods existence. They cannot proceed further and assert that God does not exist because it is impossible to verify through scientific experiments.
The reality is that the mass believes in Gods existence. The reality is ideas of God are many and lead to wars and terrorism. Admittedly, there is at any one time, far greater unanimity about scientific truths but those truths are merely hypotheses liable to be superseded in the future.
Rationalists are right in condemning superstition as dangerous and harmful. They overstep when assert science has the answers. As of today, it does not. Noting becomes a scientist more than humility. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
