Scriptural mastery is not actually the cause of the Self-realization.+

The scriptures are not needed for self-realization.  Scriptural mastery is not actually the cause of Self-realization.

The seeker having been instructed by the Guru to search for the truth in the scriptures spends all his time searching for the truth.

He thinks by mastering the scriptural knowledge he attains Gnana, But he fails to find this.

Instead, if he perseveres, he finds something of much greater value – his true Self. This cannot be found directly as the result of anyone’s teaching or in any scriptures. It can be attained from the instruction of the knower of Brahman, not gurus.

Yoga Vasistha says: ~ Self-knowledge or knowledge of truth is not had by resorting to a Guru (preceptor) nor by the study of scripture, nor by good works: it is attained only by means of inquiry inspired by the company of wise (Gnani). One’s inner light alone is the means, naught else. When this inner light is kept alive, it is not affected by the darkness of inertia. 

Upanishads clearly declare: ~

Katha Upanishad 1:2:23:~ “The Soul cannot be realized through hearing a scholarly explanation of the discourses, not even by the intellect.

Katha Upanishad 1:3:6 “Through the knowledge of the Soul, God, one is pure and clean constantly.” Neither by reading books nor by taking a bath at the holy place has one become pure. Inner purity is possible when one remains in constant touch with the Soul. Constant Soul-Consciousness is real purity.

Kena Upanishad 2:4:~ “When it is known through every state of cognition, it is rightly known, for (by such knowledge) one attains life eternal. Through one's own ‘Self’ one gains power and through wisdom, one gains immortality.

Kena Upanishad 2:5:~ “If here one knows it, then there is the truth, and if there one knows it not, there is a great loss. Hence, seeing the Real in all beings, the wise men become immortal on departing from this world.

Mundaka Upanishad 1:2:8:~   “Remaining in the fold of ignorance and thinking “we are extremely wise and learned,” the fools with boastful nature ramble about like the blind led by the blind alone.”

Mundaka Upanishad 3:2:3:~   “The weak and timid cannot realize the Self. Self-Realization is not possible through intellect or hearing the spiritual discourse. One who welcomes God in every activity, through a thorough controlled and disciplined life, to him also the Soul is revealed."

Mundaka Upanishad 3:2:3:~ “The Soul cannot be realized by the weak and timid. 

That is why Sage  Sankara says: ~   “VC ~56. Neither by Yoga, nor by Sankhya, nor by work, nor by learning, but by the realization of one's identity with Brahman is Liberation possible, and by no other means.

58. Loud speech consisting of a shower of words, the skill in expounding the Scriptures, and likewise erudition - these merely bring on a little personal enjoyment to the scholar but are no good for Liberation.

59. The study of the Scriptures is useless so long as the highest Truth is unknown, and it is equally useless when the highest Truth has already been known.

60. The Scriptures consisting of many words are a dense forest that merely causes the mind to ramble. Hence men of wisdom should earnestly set about knowing the true nature of the Self.

61. For one who has been bitten by the serpent of Ignorance, the only remedy is the knowledge of Brahman. Of what avail are the Vedas and (other) Scriptures, Mantras (sacred formulae), and medicines to such a one?

62. A disease does not leave off if one simply utters the name of the medicine, without taking it; (similarly) without direct realization one cannot be liberated by the mere utterance of the word Brahman.

63. Without causing the objective universe to vanish and without knowing the truth of the Self, how is one to achieve Liberation by the mere utterance of the word Brahman? — It would result merely in an effort of speech.

64. Without killing one’s enemies, and possessing oneself of the splendor of the entire surrounding region, one cannot claim to be an emperor by merely saying, ‘I am an emperor’.

Until one knows the truth of his true existence, whatever he knows about God is mere belief. Belief is individual whereas the ultimate truth is universal every belief system has its own idea of God thus there is no universality in the belief system. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Your existence is a reality within the dualistic illusion or Maya.+

Your existence is a reality within the dualistic illusion or Maya. The dualistic illusion appears in the waking experience. All the happenings, happening to you is happening within the dualistic illusion. All the good fortunes appear on their own, and also the sufferings appear on their own. You can prevent neither good fortune nor suffering.

Whatever is not going to happen in your life will not happen, try how hard you may. Whatever is going to happen in your life will happen, do what you may to stop it. This is certain. Remember this ~ your life is a reality within the dualistic illusion.

The best course, therefore, is to know the witness of the dualistic illusion is not you but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The ‘Self’ is not you because you are the false self within the dualistic illusion. The ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is the witness of the coming and going of the dualistic illusion. The dualistic illusion appears as ‘I’. The Self is not ‘I’ but the Soul, which witnesses of the coming and going of the ‘I’.

You are the sufferer and enjoyer within the dualistic illusion. Your sufferings and enjoyment is nothing to do with the Soul, the Self. You are unaware of the fact that you are not the ‘Self’. You think the Self is within your body but it is an error. The ‘Self ‘is the Soul, which pervades everything everywhere in the world in which you exist.

You are the birth entity; you are bound by death whereas the Soul is birthless and deathless because it is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. When the ‘Self is not you then without realizing what the ‘Self’ is in actuality it is foolish to say ‘I AM THAT’.

The relationship and love, hate, happiness, and misery of the practical life within the practical world are connected to you they are not connected to the Soul, the Self. The Soul, the   Self is beyond form, time, and space and beyond birth, life, death, and the world.

Thus, rest in consciousness by recognizing it as the 'Self, which is the Soul. The Soul is  God in truth. And realize that practical life within the practical world is merely an illusion created out of consciousness. Consciousness is the ultimate truth and the ultimate truth is God in truth.

Getting rid of the physical shackle (ignorance) is necessary to overcome the burden and bondage of the illusory samsara. Love and the relationship seem like reality in practical life within the practical world but they are merely an illusion from the ultimate standpoint. Thus, the game of life is merely a passing show.

If one realizes the truth hidden by the world in which he exists in this very life, and if one knows it not, there is a great loss. Hence, seeing the reality hidden by ignorance Gnani realizes the immortal Self, which is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom will one day replace all the religion of the world because Advaitic wisdom is the knowledge of the God in truth.+

Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom will one day replace all the religions of the world because Advaitic wisdom is the knowledge of God in truth.

Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom brings universal brotherhood and unity in diversity.

Until Sage  Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom is propagated effectively many generations will suffer and violence, wars, and terrorism, which is going on in the name of religion and God. In Sage  Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom   is the power that can lead to peace." 

Advaitic wisdom is nothing to do with the religious orthodox doctrines. Advaitic wisdom is not any philosophy. It is the nature of the Soul, the ‘Self’.  

The Advaitic wisdom is the truth of the whole universe, not of a part. Advaita is opposed to none because it is knowledge of the universe, which hides the truth.  The Advaitic truth is beyond form, time, and space.

From the Advaitic perspective, the universe is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.   Thus, there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is second to none. Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman. 

From the standpoint of the Soul, the   ‘Self’ the world in which we exist is merely an illusion. 

Just by finding out:~

To whom is this illusion?

~the illusion will not vanish.  You have to realize the ‘Self is not you but the Soul. Without realizing the Soul as the ‘Self you will not know:

‘’What is the reality?

‘What is the illusion?’

Without knowing what is reality? it is impossible to realize  ‘what is an illusion. Perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ it is difficult to realize the Advaitic truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.  From what standpoint the world is an illusion it is not possible to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

The ignorance vanishes, when the Advaitic wisdom dawns. When wisdom dawns the illusory nature of the world in which we exist is exposed.    The illusory world in which we exist hides the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

From the standpoint of the Soul, the ‘Self’ the world in which we exist is merely an illusion created out of consciousness. Therefore, realizing the world in which we exist is nothing but consciousness leads to Advaitic Self-awareness in the midst of the dualistic illusion.  

Thus, there is unity in diversity in the midst of diversity. Thus, in reality, there is only oneness because the world in which we exist is created out of a single clay, which is consciousness. The knowledge of the single clay is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar 

Man is the false witness witnessing the illusory world in which he exists.+

The Soul is only ‘ONE’. The Soul is the only witness. Man is the false witness witnessing the illusory world in which he exists.  

The world in which you exist is a dualistic illusion.  The Soul is the witness of the coming and going of the dualistic illusion (I). 

The dualistic illusion appears as ‘I’ and disappears as ‘I-LESS’ Soul. Because the Soul is asleep in ignorance the ‘I’ raises when the Soul wakes from its ignorance remains in its own awareness of its true nature the ‘I’ disappears.

When ‘I’ rise then the mind raises.

When the mind raises the form, time and space rise together.

If the form, time and space raise then the universe rises.

When the universe raises then the waking appears.

Along with the waking, the individual experience of the birth, life, and death appear.

Remember:~

 If there is no ‘I’ then there is no mind.

 If there is no mind then there is no form, time and space.

If there is no form, time and space then there no universe.

 If there is no universe then there is no waking.

 If there is no waking then there is no individual experience of birth, life, and death. 

If there is no individual experience of birth, life, death then there is the Soul, the fullness of consciousness.

The Soul is the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. It is the Soul, which is in ignorance, experiences the duality as a reality. There is neither the ego, nor the body, nor the world remains as a reality, when the Soul, wakes up from the sleep of ignorance. The Soul alone remains in its own awareness in the midst of the dualistic illusion.

The dream becomes unreal when waking takes place. Similarly, the waking becomes unreal when wisdom dawns. Limiting consciousness to the physical body is erroneous because the whole universe in which we exist is created out of consciousness.

The Soul or consciousness was present even in deep sleep without the body and without the world (without waking or dream). If consciousness was not there in deep sleep, then one will not say he had sound sleep in the waking experience. Therefore, a perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ leads to Self-awareness in the midst of diversity.

To understand, assimilate and realize the Advaitic truth, which is hidden by the illusory from, time and the space the seeker has to drop all the egocentric accumulated knowledge. 

The seeker has to learn to view and judge the three states on the base of the Soul, the  Self in order to realize all the three states are created out of single stuff and that single stuff is consciousness. The knowledge of the single stuff is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Many people think by becoming a monk or by taking sanyasa they get Self-realization. Such an idea is a religious and yogic fable.+

Manduka Upanishads: ~ A Gnani bears no external mark. Neither nudity nor the religious robe has anything to do with him.

The truth-seeker need not become a sanyasi or yogi or a monk to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Many people think by becoming a monk or by taking sanyasa they get Self-realization. Such an idea is a religious and yogic fable.

Many highly educated youngsters left their families and renounced worldly life to get Self-realization.  But they are unaware of the fact that by becoming sanyasi or monk they have become the prisoner of ignorance.

Gurus are meant to propagate religion and yogis are meant to propagate yoga.  Gurus and yogis are not meant to propagate Gnana. 

Religion and yoga are based on the false self (ego) within the dualistic illusion (world) first; the seeker of truth must realize religion is not spirituality.  

Spirituality is based on the Spirit, the ultimate truth whereas religion is based on Matter the illusion.

People dwell in ignorance but think themselves wise and erudite, and take tortuous paths of sanyasa or by becoming a monk and they are like the blind led by the blind. 

They are unaware of the fact their path of sanyasa is meant for religious people. Religion is the path of ignorance. Religion keeps people permanently in ignorance. There is no escape if one is attached to religion.

Religion is regarded as sacred and real by the common people, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.

The path of sanyasa is not the Atmic path. The path of sanyasa is meant for ignorant people.  Flies come and seek for the ulcer (ignorance), and bees come only for the honey (Gnana) in the flower. Do not follow the way of the fly but that of the bee.

Sage  Sankara says: ~ VC-162- There is no liberation for a person of mere book knowledge, howsoever well-read in the philosophy of Vedanta, so long as one does not give up the false identification with the body, sense organs, etc., which are unreal. 

Swami Vivekananda said:~ "The Vedas teach that the Soul is divine, only held in the bondage of matter; perfection will be reached when this bond will burst, and the word they use for it is, therefore, Mukthi - freedom, freedom from the bonds of imperfection, freedom from death and misery." 

A person who realizes the ultimate truth or Brahman will throw off his religious robe and his religious identity and become Avadhuta and live as he wishes.

Sage Sankara: ~ "Though I wear these robes of a sanyasin, it is only for the sake of bread."

Sage Sankara: ~ The Knower of the Atman (i.e., a Gnani) "bears no outward mark of a holy man." -Viveka Chudamani (2), (Stanza 539).

Mandukya Upanishads: ~    “Even the Gods cannot find out who is a Gnani, because he bears no external mark. Neither nudity nor the religious robe has anything to do with him.

Sage Sankara writes on A Gnani: - “Sometimes he appears to be a Fool, sometimes a wise man. Sometimes he seems splendid as a king, sometimes feeble-minded. Sometimes he is calm and silent. Sometimes he draws men to him. Sometimes people honor him greatly, sometimes they insult him. Sometimes they ignore him.

Unless one realizes the Soul as the innermost ‘Self’ as it really is” it is impossible to realize the nondualistic or Advaitic truth. 

A person who realizes the ultimate truth or Brahman will throw off his religious robe and his religious identity and become Avadhuta and live as he wishes.

The Soul, the Self is not sanyasi because it is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.  By becoming a sanyasi is becoming more ignorant of the reality of the true existence. 

The seeker should not have an individuality complex because the Soul, the 'Self' does not reside in the body because it pervades the whole world in which he exists.

Thinking the Soul is within the body is a great error.  The seeker must rise above the form, time, and space to realize the Soul the Self is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.  

You, your body, and your experience of the world are a reality within the dualistic illusion.  The dualistic illusion is created out of single clay. That single clay is the Soul, the Self.  The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. 

Perfect understanding and realization of ‘what is what’ leads to Self-awareness. By holding on to the accumulated knowledge from here and there, one remains in the realm of ignorance. One has to mentally go on dropping what is not the truth through deeper Self-search. 

When the seeker realizes the fact that, his ego, his body, and the world are created out of single stuff and that single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness then that knowledge of the single stuff leads to Self-awareness in the midst of the duality. 

In Advaitic Self-awareness, the ego is not considered as ego, even though the ego is present, the body is not considered as the body, even though the body is present, the world which confronts him is not considered as the world even though the world is present, the duality ceases even though the duality is present, because of the wisdom everything is considered as consciousness. Thus, there is conscious oneness in the midst of diversity.

When the Soul, the  ‘Self’ remains in its own awareness it becomes empty of ignorance. Thus, whatever remains empty ignorance is the non-dualistic reality. 

Only through wisdom, one becomes aware of the Advaitic truth in the midst of the duality.

That is why Sage Sankara said:~ VC ~63~ Without causing the objective universe to vanish and without knowing the truth of the Self, how is one to achieve Liberation. 

The universe in which we exist will not remain a reality when wisdom dawns. The universe is a mere illusion created out of consciousness and there is a conscious awareness of the unity in diversity because there is no second thing exists other than consciousness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Sage Sankara has declared the world is an illusion. It means the world in which you are born, lives and dies, is merely an illusion.+

Sage  Sankara has declared the world is an illusion. It means the world in which you are born, live, and die,  is merely an illusion. 

Sage Sankara has declared the world is an illusion. It means the form, time, and space which is present only when the world is present is merely an illusion. 

Sage Sankara has declared the world is an illusion. It means the world that appears as waking or dream disappears as deep sleep is merely an illusion.  

Sage Sankara declares Atman is Brahman and Brahman alone is real. It means the Soul is present in the form of consciousness is the ultimate truth. The ultimate truth is Brahman or God in truth. 

Thus, the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness (Spirit) is God in truth. Everyone innately believes in the reality of practical life within the practical world. 

If they take practical life within the practical world as a reality, then they have accepted their experience of birth, life, death, and the world as reality. 

If they have accepted their experience of birth, life, death, and the world as a reality, then they have accepted the waking experience as reality.

If they have accepted the waking experience as reality, then they have accepted the form, time and space as a reality. 

If they have accepted form, time, and space as a reality, then they have accepted the duality as a reality. 

If they have accepted the duality as a reality, then they have accepted the mind as a reality. If they have accepted the mind as a reality they have accepted the ‘I’ as a reality. 

If they have accepted the ‘I’ as reality, then they have accepted the illusion as a reality. 

If they accepted the illusion as a reality then they are in the realm of ignorance.

Until they hold the ‘I’ as the ‘Self’, the Soul, the ‘Self’, will remain in the prison of the dualistic illusion. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

The Soul, the 'Self' does not belongs to any caste or parampara.+

The Soul, the 'Self' does not belongs to any caste or parampara.  The Soul, the Self is not visible to the physical eyes, the Soul, the Self is unattached because it is a formless, timeless and spaceless existence.   

The Soul, the Self is the cause of the dualistic illusion.  The dualistic illusion is present in the form of the ‘I’. 

The Soul, the Self is hidden by the dualistic illusion as its formless substance and it is apart from the dualistic illusion as its formless witness.  

In nondualistic reality, the substance and the witness of the dualistic illusion are on in essence. That essence is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. 

All my writings are an inner revelation to show the truth hidden under the garbage of religion and theories, beliefs, and ideology. 

There is no need to condemn religion, and theories, beliefs, and ideology, but the seeker’s aim is to drop what is not the truth and accept only the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space. 

Whatever belongs to form, time and space is not the truth because the nature of the Soul is the formless, timeless and spaceless existence. 

You think the ‘I’ is the witness. You are mistaking the Soul, the witness as the ‘I’, which appears and disappears. This is a great stumbling block of the ‘I’-centric Gurus of the east and the west.  They think that the ego is not there nothing remains.  This their imagination based on the ego.  

Firstly, realize the ego, body and the world appeared together and disappear together. So you cannot get rid of the ego alone. You midst get rid of the ‘I’ by realizing ‘what is what.

Remember limiting the ‘I’ as the ‘Self’ is the cause of ignorance.

The seeker has to realize ‘what this ‘I’ supposed to be in actuality.

The ‘Self is not the ‘I’.

The ‘Self’ is the mind.

The mind is present in the form of the universe.

The universe appears as waking or dream.

By limiting   'I'   to you alone is the main hurdle in pursuit of truth. 

Therefore it is necessary for the seeker of truth to realize the ‘I’ is not limited to you but the ‘I’ is the whole world in which you exist.

The ‘I’ is not within the body because the ‘I’ is the mind.

The mind is present in the form of the universe. 

The universe appears as waking or dream.

The ‘I’ is not limited to form alone but the ‘I’ is in the form, time and space together.

'WHO AM 'I'?- inquiry will not yield the truth hidden by the 'I'. 

Deeper self-search reveals that the Self is not ‘I’ but the Self is Soul, which witnesses the coming and going of the ‘I’. 

The Soul is permanent and eternal but the ‘I’ is impermanent and illusory, which appears and disappears.

Thus, identifying the ‘Self’ as the ‘I’ is a great error, this error was not identified and rectified by the Guru of the past and present because of their excessive analysis.  

The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the formless substance and the witness of the ‘I’.   When the seeker recognizes the Soul, as the ‘Self’ then he will recognize the error.

Consciousness pervades everywhere and in everything in all the three states then that very recognition leads to a total dissolution of ignorance and leads to nondual Self-awareness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Santana Dharma or Vedic Religion accepts only Athma as God.+

Santana Dharma or Vedic Religion means Atmic religion because the Santana Dharma or Vedic Religion accepts only Athma as God. 

Atama is   Brahman or God. The nature of God is Advaita.

In Tattireya Upanishad: ~ "SatyaM Vada. DharmaM Cara." Speak the truth, and practice dharma. Now if you want to practice dharma, you should first know what it means. (1.11.1)

The word, “dharma “is found in the karikas, which means Atma in Advaita Vedanta.

Santana Dharma or Vedic Religion means Atmic religion because the Santana Dharma or Vedic Religion accepts only Athma as God.  And it clearly mentions that God is “One”. And never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman.

Thus, wherever they accept another God in place of Atman or worship other than the Atman is not of the Santana Dharma or Vedic Religion.  

If the seeker is seeking truth Such Gods have to be rejected without mercy.  Worshipping of such Gods is barred by Vedas.

If you think your religion is Santana Dharma or Vedic religion then you have to discard non-Vedic religion, non-Vedic sects, and non-Vedic Gods and non-Vedic rituals have to be discarded and stick to the Vedic God alone as the ultimate truth or Brahman.   

Santana Dharma or Vedic religion is the only spiritualistic religion in the world, which emphasizes on Self-realization.

In Santana Dharma or Vedic Religion the Atman, the ‘Self’ is God.  This Self –realization is God-realization and God-realization is real worship.

The vast ocean of Vedic religion or Santana Dharma was consistently steady and calm for a very long period. 

It appears that as a consequence of the rage of the Buddhist revolution, it got suddenly disturbed and flowed down to us in disorder. Even today Vedic religion or Santana Dharma has not recovered from the onslaught of Buddhism and Jainism and is not able to settle in people's hearts in its original form in the same old measure.

Remember:~

The Buddhist influence is seen in a great measure in the Vedic philosophy which is followed by the majority of Indians. Thus, it is clear that Vedic religion or Santana Dharma has not retained its original form, but has been influenced by other religions and has undergone a sea change. Thus the influence of Buddhism on Santana Dharma is extraordinary. Even Kumarila Bhatta, who fought with great heroism for the revival of Vedic religion, was so much influenced by Buddhism that he established for the first time in the country, an atheist Vedic religion or Santana Dharma. There is no room for any doubt to assert that the Kumarila Bhatta School was influenced by atheist Buddhism because the school which is based on the validity of the Vedas and rituals refutes the existence of God.

Sage Sankara endeavored to establish the Vedic religion overthrowing Buddhism. But even he was not able to avoid the influence of Buddhism. The influence of the revolutionary atmosphere of Buddhism has reappeared in the Advaita of Sage  Sankara. His inability to revive the Vedic religion that flourished before the Buddhist revolution in its pure form is discernible.

Many thinkers since his time have said about Sage Sankara that he made use of many important tenets of Buddhism and presented to the people the very Buddhism in the guise of Vedic religion. Though the Vedic religion represented by Sage Sankara is like a conglomeration of many things he deserves the credit for having turned the Indian mindset which was once averse to Vedas -the root of the Indian populace, towards the Vedas once again. For this, the followers of the Vedic religion should be grateful to Sage  Sankara.

Supreme Court of India:~  Hinduism, as a religion, incorporates all forms of belief without mandating the selection or elimination of any one single belief,“ It is a religion that has no single founder, no single scripture, and no single set of teachings. It has been described as Santana Dharma, namely, eternal faith, as it is the collective wisdom and inspiration of the centuries that Hinduism seeks to preach and propagate,”  ---Hinduism has no single founder or scripture: SC, The Times of India (Delhi) Dec 17, 2015

Hinduism is not an Ancient Vedic religion or Santana Dharma.  All Hindus indulge in non-Vedic practices barred by the Vedas introduced by the different founders of the different sects of Hinduism at different times, whereas the Vedic religion, or Santana Dharma is ancient and has no founder. 

Thus to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana, the seeker has to realize his inherited religion is adulterated in the past and it becomes a great obstacle is realizing the ultimate truth or Brahman.    

Hinduism has different founders with different castes and ideologies different ideas of personal Gods and different scriptures.  

The Santana Dharma or Vedic Religion has nothing to do with present-day Hinduism.  Since the Indian populace thinks Hinduism is Santana Dharma or Vedic religion is inherited ignorance injected in the past.

Indian populace is emotionally and sentimentally involved with their religion and they do not want to accept the truth of their inherited ignorance. Talking against Vedas is Blasphemous in Hinduism but all the Hindus indulge in non-~Vedic activities without being aware of it.

The Vedic system did not have a caste system.  The caste system was a fake created in the name of Hinduism. This non-Vedic belief system called Hinduism created hatred in the low-caste Hindus for the higher caste. 

Sage Sankara:~  VC- Let erudite scholars quote all the scripture, let Gods be invoked through sacrifices, let elaborate rituals be performed, let personal Gods be propitiated---yet, without the realization of one‘s identity with the Self, there shall be no liberation for the individual, not  even in the lifetimes of a hundred Brahmas put together (verses-6)

You will realize you, your body, and your experience of the world are nothing but consciousness.  

By realizing you, your body, and your experience of the world are created out of single clay and that single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.   

Thus, you, your body, and your experience of the world are nothing but the consciousness.   Thus, the Soul, the consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman.  The Brahman is God.

The Soul, God is the fullness of consciousness. Everything is God nothing but God. Do not waste time attending sermons and Satsang on mythical God. 

Real Satsanga knows the real God which is hidden by the religion.  From the Vedic perspective, the Religious Gods are a myth. Vedic God is Athma.

The diverse rituals and ceremonies are based on the mythical Gods that keep the Soul in the cage of ignorance.

The mythical Gods are a myth not God in truth. All the mythical Gods are non-Vedic Gods.  Believing worshipping non-Vedic Gods causes suffering. Vedic God is spiritual. 

Rig Veda: ~ 'Prajnanam Brahma'- Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.

Do not accept any other God other than the Soul. The Soul is God in truth, Nothing is real but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Nothing matters but realizing God in truth. God in truth is everywhere and in everything. Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious.

God in truth is hidden by the illusory universe. God in truth alone is real and eternal and all else is an illusion.

Brahman is merely a word to indicate the ultimate truth or God in truth. The ultimate truth itself is God in truth.

Rig-Veda 1-164-46 and Y.V 32-1 clearly mention that God is “One”. And never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman

Even 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)

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.

Yajur Veda indicates that: ~

They sink deeper in darkness those who worship sambhuti. (Sambhuti means created things, for example, table, chair, idol, etc (Yajurveda 40:9)

Those who worship visible things born of the prakrti, such as the earth, trees, and bodies (human and the like) in place of God are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time." (Yajur Veda 40:9.)

Why worship and glorify the mythical Gods in place of God when Veda bars such activities and also warns people who indulge in such activities are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time.

God exists prior to the form, time, and space.  The form, time, and space cease to exist as a reality when wisdom dawns. 

Thus, the mythical Gods have no place in the domain of the Advaitic reality. Advaita is the nature of the Soul, which is the real God.  Thus, Self-realization is the only way to God-realization.

Remember:~

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

The 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."

Attachment to the belief in mythical Gods and rituals is an attachment to ignorance. Attachment to ignorance is an attachment to the myth as truth. All mythical Gods and their rituals are not of Vedic origin. 

Remember:~

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

All the  Gods based on blind belief of all belief systems have no universality in their idea of God.  Thus diverse beliefs create divisions between one religion and another. Therefore the rituals and ceremonies keep the populace permanently in the prison of ignorance.

The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad:~"He who worships the deities as entities entirely separate from God does not know the truth. For the Gods, he is like a pasu (beast)". (1. 4. 10)

Everyone must know what God is supposed to be in truth according to their own scriptures.

Vedas and Upanishads confirm the Soul, the  Self, is present in the form of the Spirit or the consciousness.

Even the Bhagavad Gita says: ~ 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. 

Those who indulge in a perverted argument from their own standpoint and opinion about God are not seeking the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

It is time humanity has become fanatics of the truth to bring the universal brotherhood.  The truth is the only thing that can cure all propagated by the belief system.

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.

Mundaka Upanishad condemns rituals.  The Para or Higher knowledge is the knowledge of the Supreme Being while the Apara or Lower Knowledge is that of following sacrificial rites and ceremonies. (1/2/ 1 – 6)

The religious-based knowledge is Apara therefore, the religious-based knowledge is lower knowledge, and Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is higher knowledge is Para.  Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is the knowledge of the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

Katha Upanishad says:~ Fools dwelling in darkness, but thinking themselves wise and erudite, go round and round, by various tortuous paths, like the blind led by the blind. (Ch II-5 P-14)

Reflecting on the Soul, which is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God, is real Satsanga. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
