Religion is regarded as sacred and real by the common people, by the wise as false, and by the political rulers as useful.
The inherited Religion and its blind belief-oriented Gods have become the cause of concern. Unless all religions are barred by the United Nations by exposing the falsity of the religion, it is impossible to find world peace and universal brotherhood. Religion has to be replaced by pure spirituality.
Unless we educate humanity the God in truth, which is universal, wars, violence, and terrorism will not stop.
Thus, it is necessary to propagate the truth of God and the falsity of religion on a war footing to free humanity from the religion which divides humanity and has become the cause of bloodbath of the innocent people.
The money that is spent on wars to curb terrorism in the name of God and religion the same money can be utilized for the welfare of humankind.
Millions of people all over the world have been killed and being killed in the name of religion and God. This is because people are not aware of the ultimate truth of their true existence.
People take their inherited beliefs as the ultimate truth without verifying the validity of their beliefs.
Does God exist or not is the question that succeeds not only dividing the people but creates a tug of war within every individual thinker. Ironically, if one believes in the concept of God then nothing else matters, and if one is an atheist, too nothing else matters.
Those who have implicit faith in God bow their head in submission to what they call divine will. They believe the world is a testing ground and sorrows must be borne with patience to prove their love to God.
On the other hand, the Atheists claim the whole world is a random creation arising, so to speak from chemical gravy that is accidental. Both these arguments are based on the ‘false self (ego) within the false experience (waking).
On the base of the Soul, the ‘Self’, the waking experience itself is merely an illusion. The man and his experience of the world are a reality within the waking experience. The waking experience is a mere dream witnessed by the Soul. Thus, all the physical-based theories are mere imagination based on the false ‘Self’ within the false experience.
The formless substance and witness of the false experience, which is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness is real and eternal.
God in truthis not physical. God is present in the form of the Spirit. The Spirit is the cause of the world and the Spirit itself is uncaused.
From the standpoint of the Spirit, the form, time, space, and name are merely an illusion. The spirit alone is real and all else is an illusion. In reality, the spirit (God) and matter (the world in which we exist) are one.
The dualistic worship of "God” is only for the ignorant populace. The God in truth is only Atman, the innermost ‘Self’. In reality, there are no dualities, no differentiation. Only Atman exists.
The Vedas confirm God is Atman (Spirit), the ‘Self’.
Rig Veda: ~ The Atman (Soul or Spirit) 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 1-164-46 and Y.V 32-1 clearly mention that God is “One”.
Rig Veda declares God is ‘ONE’ and God is Atman, then why to believe and worship in place of real God.
Brihad Upanishad: ~ “If you think there is another entity, whether man or God there is no truth."
Bhagavad Gita: ~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham ~ Brahman (God in truth) is considered the all-pervading consciousness (Spirit), which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. (14.27).
When Bhagavad Gita says, God is considered the all-pervading consciousness (Spirit) which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material then nothing has to be accepted God other than consciousness.
Lord Krishna says Ch ~V: ~ “Those who know the ‘Self in truth.". The last two words (tattvataha) are usually ignored by pundits, but they make all the difference between the ordinary concept of God and the truth about God.
The famous peace invocation of Isa Upanishad says: ~
Om Purna- madah, purna-midam purnat-purnam-udacyate Purnaysa purna-madaya purna-meva-vasisyate
This means ~ All this is full /from fullness, fullness comes when fullness is taken from fullness/ fullness still remains.
This belief is all- comprehensive and all-absorbing. There is nothing that is not God.
One of Sage Sankara’s missions was to wean people away from the ritualistic approach advocated by Mimamsakas and to project wisdom (jnana) as the means of liberation in the light of Upanishad teachings. Sage Sankara criticized severely the ritualistic attitude and those who advocated such practices. However, the texts that combined rituals with wisdom (jnana_karma_samucchaya) more in favor of the Mimamsaka position came into vogue, projecting Sage Sankara as the rallying force of the doctrine.
The religion, religious God's rituals and the sacrifices deal with lower knowledge. The sages of truth ignored religion, religious Gods, rituals, and the sacrifices and went in search of the truth of their true existence. The religion, religious God's rituals, and the sacrifices are unsafe rafts for crossing the sea of ignorance which is the cause of experiencing the birth, life, death, and the world as a reality. Doomed to shipwreck are those who try to cross the dualistic illusion (form, time, and space) on these poor rafts.
Remember:~
The Quranic version of Advaita.
La illah illa Allah -- No God but Allah.
The meaning of La illaha illallah is simple, it means (La) No (illaha) God (illallah) but Allah
The meaning of the word Allah is unique unlike English, it is purely singular in the Arabic language and cannot be made female or male despite it being a name which means Allah is free from being HE or SHE. But why scripture uses “he” is another topic up for debate. But La Illaha Illallah means (There is) No god but Allah.
Remember:~
On the perspective of the Spirit, which is God, the world in which we exist is an illusion. Thus, whatever happens, within the illusion is bound to be an illusion created out of the Spirit.
The Bible says: ~ “God is a Spirit, and they that worship God must worship God in Spirit and in Truth (John 4:24)”,
God is not physical. God is the Spirit. God is the Self. God is birthless and deathless because God is the formless, timeless and spaceless existence.
The birth, life, and death happen within the illusory world, which is created out of Christ, which is present in the form of the Spirit.
Jesus said:~ "Those who seek should not stop seeking until they find. When they find, they will be disturbed. When they are disturbed, they will marvel, and will reign over all." (Gospel of Thomas 2)
Jesus said: ~” Know what is in front of your face, and what is hidden from you will be disclosed to you. (The Gospel of Thomas- Saying 5)
The Soul is the 'Self'. The Soul is present in the form of the Spirit or Consciousness. The Spirit is the root element of the universe. From the Spirit, the universe comes into existence. In the Spirit, the universe resides. And into the Spirit, the universe is dissolved. The Spirit is the parent of all that is there is.
The Soul, which is present in the form of the Spirit, is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. Thus, everything is nothing but God.
Gospel Thomas Logian 22:~ Jesus saw infants being suckled. He said to his disciples, “These infants being suckled are like those who enter the kingdom.”
They said to him, “Shall we then, as children, enter the kingdom?”
Jesus's version of Advaita ~Jesus said to them, “When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female is female; and when you fashion eyes in the place of an eye, and a hand in place of a hand, and a foot in place of a foot, and a likeness in place of a likeness; then will you enter the kingdom.”
**
Ignorant of their own ignorance, yet wise in their own esteem, these deluded men proud of their inherited beliefs in their religion wage war and
violence against humanity in the name of protecting their God and belief system.
Those who blindly accept the religion and its God as truth are like the blind led by the blind. Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara can bring universal brotherhood and universal peace. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
