God is neither male nor female because God is nondual. God is in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself. Athma is the formless, timeless and spaceless existence.
There is neither
Shiva nor Shakti but only the consciousness. Consciousness is God in
truth. All belief based Gods are not God
in truth.
The Soul, the God is impersonal. Only
way to approach God is by acquiring the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara.
Sage Sankara’s Supreme Brahman (God in truth) is impersonal, Nirguna (without Gunas
or attributes), Nirakara (formless), Nirvisesha (without special
characteristics), immutable, eternal and Akarta (non-agent). It is above all
needs and desires. It is always the Witnessing Subject. It can never become an
object as it is beyond the reach of the senses. Brahman is non-dual, one
without a second. It has no other besides it. It is destitute of difference,
either external or internal. Brahman cannot be described because the description
implies a distinction. Brahman cannot be distinguished from any other than It.
In Brahman, there is not distinction between substance and attribute. Sat-Chit-Ananda
constituted the very essence or Svarupa of Brahman, and not just Its
attributes. The Nirguna Brahman of Sage Sankara is impersonal.
That is why Bhagavad Gita says: ~ ‘All those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires, they worship many God s. (7- Verse -20)
First, know what God is supposed to be according to your own scriptures.
The Soul, the ‘Self is the Infinite God.
The Soul is the Self. God is the
Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. God is the
fullness of the consciousness without the illusory division of form, time, and
space. Therefore, there is nothing apart
from it.
God is self-evident. God is not
established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny God because
God is the very essence of the one who denies it. God is the basis of all
kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs. God is within the universe in
which you exist, the God is without the universe in which you exist.
The Vedas
confirms God is Atman (Spirit), the Self.
Rig Veda: ~ 'Prajnanam Brahma'- Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.
God in truth is the Atman, the Self. Atman is present in the form of consciousness.
Do not accept any other God other than Atman not worship other than Atman.
Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious.
Nothing is real but God. Nothing Matters but love for God in truth. God in truth is everywhere and in everything.
God in truth is hidden by the illusory universe. God in truth alone is and all else is an illusion.
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) is present 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 declares: 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 innermost 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 apart.
When Upanishads and Vedas declare, “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 Atman?
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.
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) alone exists~ everything is Atman, there exists nothing except
Atman. Such a man is extremely rare."
Bhagavad
Gita: ~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham ~ Brahman (God) 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.

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad IV-13:~ ‘As a mass of salt has neither inside nor outside, but is
entirely a mass of taste, thus indeed, has that Self neither inside nor outside
but is altogether a mass of Knowledge. Just as a lump of salt has inside as
well as outside one and the same saltish taste, not any other taste, so also
that Brahman (consciousness) has inside as well as outside one and the same
intelligence. Inside and outside are mental creations only. When the mind melts
in silence, ideas of inside and outside vanish. The sages cognize one
illimitable, homogeneous mass of consciousness only.
Causality taught in the Upanishads is only to enable us to understand
the supreme truth of no-origination. The world is not different from the
consciousness and the consciousness is not different from the Soul, the
innermost Self, and the Soul is not different from the ultimate truth or
Brahman. That the consciousness appears as the diverse world is only an
illusion. If it really became diverse then the immortal would become mortal.
The dualists who seek to prove the origination of the unborn, by
that very enterprise try to make the immortal, mortal. Ultimate nature can
never change - the immortal can never become mortal and vice versa.
Sage Goudapada quotes from the Upanishads: ~ "There's no plurality here"; "The Soul through
its powers appear to be many"; "those who are attached to the
creation or production or origination go to utter darkness"; "the
unborn is never reborn, for what can produce it?”. :
