Bhagavad Gita says: ~ Every man knows God according to his like and dislikes. That he must know God in Truth.+

What is the value of mystic experience, what is the value of the words of great people of the past and wise men of the present?

In pursuit of truth, the seeker must examine and evaluate them all to find the truth.

• Is there a God?

• What is his nature?

• Let there be proof.

• Such questions must arise.

Bhagavad Gita says: ~ Every man knows God according to his likes and dislikes. That he must know God in Truth. We must have proof of what God has done and what he is doing.

• Why did God create pain and pleasure?

• Why does he torture humankind with epidemics and calamities?

• Has God no better business to do?

• Is God, teaching people lessons through these sufferings and setbacks?

• What lesson can God teach the little child destroyed by fire the other day?

• How can we believe that God is all-merciful when he constantly displeases all humanity?

 Suppose one says he has got faith in a religion or some teaching. Suppose another says he has no faith in them. Thus, there is a contradiction.

No one can go to do anything about it.  Nothing can be done. In the real truth, there can be no contradiction, nor any possibility of it. The realm of truth cannot contradict anymore, because there is no duality in reality.

Those who pray to God for something occasionally get what they ask for. They then declare it to be a miracle to be placed to the credit of God! But when they fail to get what they pray for they do not attribute these failures to God, and thus the obvious fact that, the failures far outnumber the successes, as for instance thousands of families of the soldiers who prayed to God to protect their dear ones, but the prayers remained unheard and they have lost their dear ones in the wars. 

The seeker has to examine every aspect." he must think deeply to know the ultimate truth of his existence. That is to inquire.

All secret silent mental invisible service of mankind by occult power is mere imagination based on the false ‘Self’ within the false experience. There are visible tangible signs in the world.  There are signs of the benefit of yogis in the world to stop human suffering through yogic power.  If such yogic power ever existed all wars, and calamities would have been stopped. Such power exists only in mythological stories.   Mythological stories are nothing but a myth.

The seeker should not believe it just because it is mentioned in the books. All such books are meant for the ignorant mass.

All the prediction belongs to the realm of duality. The duality is not a reality because it is based on the false ‘Self’ (ego or you) within the false experience (waking).    All predictions as to what these yogis will do in the future are unacceptable because verification is not immediately possible. Who can take them as having any worth? Therefore they belong to the world of imagination.  The imagination belongs to the unreal world. 

Know God in actuality.

Yajurveda – chapter- 32:~  God is 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.

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God in truth) is in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.

People, who worship the belief of God, are hallucinating that they become one with such God.

Vedas itself says: May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman? Thus, to know the real God Self-realization is necessary. Self-realization is God-realization. Self-realization itself is real worship.

Rig Veda: ~ The Atman 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)

How can you worship God? That implies two ~ the worshipper and the worshiped, whereas God is non-dual. One can worship his idea of God only or realize his unity with it when he can’t worship it as a part.

When Upanishads and Vedas declare that, “God is in the form of the Athma, and God is indeed Athma itself” then why accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atma

God is the Supreme Being the One eternal homogeneous essence, indivisible consciousness, and intelligence, which is beyond form, time, and space. To which the Sages describe in a variety of ways through diverse words.

Bhagavad Gita: ~ ‘All those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires, they worship many Gods. (7- Verse -20)

Only the path of wisdom leads the seeker of truth on his journey to the ultimate realization of the true nature of the Universal Essence, which is the Soul. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness.

Bhagavad Gita: 7: 19:~ "Such a man who has attained true knowledge, the knowledge of Self, the knowledge of Atman, worships ‘Self’ as~ Atman (God in truth) alone exists~ everything is Atman, there exists nothing except Atman. Such a man is extremely rare."

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. (14.27).

When Bhagavad Gita says, God is considered the all-pervading consciousness which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material then nothing has to be accepted as 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 dualistic worship of "God” is only for the ignorant populace. The God in truth is only Atman, the innermost Self. In reality, there is no duality, no differentiation. Only Atman exists. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
