By worshipping God in human form, repeating mantras without knowing what God suppose to be in actuality is like watering a barren soil.
The seeker of truth should not waste life in empty formalities. Without realizing the world in which he exists is an illusion it is impossible to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
The mantra-yoga consisting of repeating the name of God, or even the AUM; thousands of times yield nothing. It can appeal only to the ignorant, to those who cannot think deeper. It is a mere religious fable. The real exercise is to think of the meaning of the name or the AUM and then only do you get something.
Mantras and prayers can do nothing. If they really had any power why did not religious heads use one to stop the wars, violence, terrorism which is going on in the name of religion and God?
All the magical power of mantras are religious fable because religion is based on the false self (ego) and false experience(world).
The religion is based on personal God whereas Sage Sankara’s Supreme Brahman (God) is impersonal, Nirguna (without Gunas or attributes), Nirakara (formless), Nirvisesha (without special characteristics), immutable, eternal and Akarta (non-agent). God is above all needs and desires. God is always the Witnessing Subject. God can never become an object as God is beyond the reach of the senses. God is non-dual, one without a second. God has no other beside it. God is destitute of difference, either external or internal. God cannot be described because the description implies a distinction. God cannot be distinguished from any other than God. In God, there is not a distinction between substance and attribute. Sat-Chit-Ananda constituted the very essence or Svarupa of God, and not just God's attributes. The Nirguna Brahman of Sage Sankara is impersonal.
God has no name what is the use of repeating the nameless God with forms and names.
God has no name there is the use of repeating the nameless God with forms and names, which is not God in truth. The forms and names belong to form, time and space.
Form, time and space belong to the dualistic illusion. The dualistic illusion hides the Soul, which is the real God. Thus, it is necessary to realize ‘what God supposed to be in actuality.
Religion breeds superstition because religion is based on blind belief. Whatever is based on the blind belief is superstition.
God in truth is not a belief. One must know God in truth. Without knowing what God supposed to be in actuality worshipping belief of God is superstition.
Worshipping superstitious Gods barred by Vedas. Know what God supposed to be according to Vedas Upanishads Bhagavad Gita and Bible.
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.
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.
Even Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God in truth) is in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.
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)
The world in which you exist is a dualistic illusion created out of the ‘Self’ which not you but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Whatever you have seen, known, believed and experienced is within the world, which is a dualistic illusion. Thus, your existence is bound to an illusion created out of consciousness, which is real and eternal.
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.
People are not aware of the fact that there is no individual God exists, apart from the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Like an ornament made from gold is Gold, which is born out of consciousness is consciousness. Like gold is the permanent thing, in ornaments made of gold, similarly, the mind, which is in the form of the universe is born out of consciousness, is consciousness in its essence.
The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad declares: "He who worships the deities as entities entirely separate from him does not know the truth. For the Gods, he is like a pasu (beast)". (1. 4. 10)
Bhagavad Gita:~ All those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires, they worship many God s. (7- Verse -20)
Sage Sankara said:~ Talk as much philosophy as you like, worship as many Gods as you please, observe ceremonies and sing devotional hymns, but liberation will never come, even after a hundred aeons, without realizing the Oneness.
God in truth has no name because God in truth is the invisible Soul, the Self. The nature of the Soul is ever nondual because it is a formless, timeless spaceless existence.
There is the use of the repeating the God which keeps one in permanently remains in the state ignorance.
The God with name and form is not God in truth. You must realize God in truth.
Only when ignorance vanishes and the truth, which is hidden by form, time and space, will be revealed.
The sickness of not cured by saying the word “medicine.” You must take the medicine. Ignorance does not vanish by merely repeating the name of God, which is not God in actuality. .God must be realized.
Until you allow this apparent universe to transcend from your consciousness until you have realized the truth, which is hidden by form, time and space, how can you find God just by repeating the name of God, which is not God in actuality?
Until you realize the ‘Self’ is not you but the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness you will never be able to cross the domain of the dualistic illusion.
You cannot become a Gnani by repeating the name of individual God repeating ‘OM’ or repeating the ‘I’ as propagated by some Gurus.
A buried treasure is not uncovered by merely repeating mantras. Without a perfect understanding of ‘what is what’, the truth will not be revealed.
You must remove all the obstacles, which is blocking your realization. The truth of the Soul, the only God, which is buried under the dualistic illusion, comes only through Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
If you are desirous to realize the truth, which is hidden by the dualistic illusion then mentally, burn your accumulated knowledge by realizing the ‘Self’ is not you but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
