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.+

Religion is  individual  Truth”; Spirituality is “universal  truth.” This means a believer takes his feeling of truth whereas the seeker of truth takes his reasoned judgment, which will be the same under test everywhere in the universe.

Each religion concocts a God to suit its own purposes. Belief in such concocted Gods is a great hindrance in the pursuit of truth.  The man himself suggests that there must be a God. It is an auto-suggestion. 

Prayers and sacrifices belong to a premature stage of development. When no answers come to prayers to their blind belief-based God, then doubt arises about the existence of such God. Belief in religion weakens as man pays more attention to the facts of his practical life within the practical world.

People who argue that truth is only in their religion are vain logicians based on mere ideas, and imaginations.  Religions that say "If one follows the religion they will go to heaven, while others “go to hell," are stories invented on the base of false Self within the false experience.

Religious truth is not the ultimate truth because it always shows a contradiction. A contradiction arises because a different person's interpretation may disagree with others.

Poets are at liberty to imagine whatever they like, but the only thing wrong is that they take their feelings and sentiments for reality, or when they think that whatever seems, must exist.

"Religions place God as the unknown reality”.  Every religious believer has a different idea of God. Every man has a different idea of reality. Hence the need for definition before the study.

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.

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

Mixing religion and spirituality is like mixing oil and water. Religion is nothing to do with spirituality. Religion is nothing to do with the ultimate truth or Brahman.

Without realizing the Self how can you know what is God? Only the ignorant believe in the religious idea of God without knowing what God is supposed to be in actuality.  

Religious believers constantly quarrel with one another claiming that their religion is superior to other religions. They haven't the intelligence to understand that in reality there is nothing that exists other than the universal God, which is present in the form of the Spirit. The Spirit is the Self. Religious Gods are not God in truth. One must know God in truth.

Religion is not spirituality. Religious people are based on the belief as truth whereas Spiritual people bases themselves on the Soul, the Spirit as the ultimate truth or Brahman. Never mix religion with spirituality.

The ultimate truth is One and universal. All people are seeking the same Truth..... Everyone is going toward the ultimate goal. They will all realize the ultimate truth or Brahman or God if they have sincerity and longing to realize it.

Religion is based on blind belief. But in pursuit of truth, doubt is the main ingredient.

Most people have the desire to know the truth, but the capacity to understand and assimilate it is limited. The result is that people resolve the conflict by jumping to the first and simplest and easiest conclusion as the correct one, and smugly but unjustifiably thinking “I know”: Thus, they commit the fallacy of permittivity.

The seeker needs proof to accept anything as truth. Every guru intellectuals, pundit, or yogi statements have to be verified before accepting them as the ultimate truth or Brahman. Their claims have to be verified before accepting them as the truth.

Remember:~

All religious theories are meant for those who believe in the practical life within the practical world as a reality because they are unable to verify the truth of their true existence.

The religion is based on the birth entity (you). The birth entity is the false self within the false experience (waking). 

Thus, religion is based on falsehood, because religion accepts the experience of birth, life, death, and the world as a reality. It is very much necessary to realize the self is the formless Soul, which is birthless and deathless because it is ever formless. 

The Soul, the Self has no religion. All religious theories are based on the birth entity is bound to be a falsehood.

Sage Goudapada says: ~ the merciful Veda teaches karma and Upasana to people of lower and middling intellect while jnana is taught to those of higher intellect.

So they clearly indicate rituals and theories are not meant for those who are searching for higher knowledge or wisdom. The path of wisdom is the only means.

All the orthodox Advaitins indulge and immerse themselves in a ritualistic-oriented lifestyle and follow the path of karma and Upaasana which is meant for lower and middling intellect and not for realizing the Advaitic truth.

Many chose these orthodox scholars as their gurus. But these gurus are good to learn the conceptual Advaita meant for those Orthodox who believe their conduct-oriented lifestyle leads to Moksha [liberation]. But the theistic Advaita is not the means to acquire Self –knowledge or non-dualistic or Advaitic wisdom. 

Those who are seeking the truth have to do their own homework in order to acquire Self -knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
