God belongs to individuality. No one can prove the existence of god. God cannot exist without the believer



If one claims that he has seen individualized God and God is doing this or that he is hallucinating with his inherited belief. He did not see God doing it? He is simply assuming. 

God is only a settled fact for believers, but for others God’s existence is problematic. The truth of Organized Religion can only be proved by physical strength or by imagination, or power of the weapon or power and force, never by reason. 

Scientists yet to discover the mysteries beyond form, time and space, they may discover something in the future.” Many mystics claim to know the mystery unknown to science is known to them. Without proof it is foolish to believe Mysticism is the fulfillment of science.” 

Second-hand knowledge of the self, gathered from books or gurus can never emancipate a man until its truth is rightly investigated and applied; only direct realization will do that. Realize yourself, turning the ego inward. It is time  to introspect  Am I in the right path to acquire Advaitic or Non-dualistic wisdom? 

In this Hi Fi world many self-declared Spiritual Gurus are born like mushroom amidst us and they are looked upon as a great solace by the mass of gullible people, who are more ‘peace and wisdom hungry.  Most seekers are looking for something beyond their inherited belief system. Most of this dollar hungry gurus hankering after titles and Honours and enjoying it like these modern day self-styled gurus and they are connected to one or other controversies and scandals. 
People get stuck with these modern self-proclaimed gurus who claimed to be enlightened.  Many of these Gurus have taken many new “avatars” like Corporate Gurus, Universal Gurus, on line Gurus, Global Gurus, one name it, he will find  them. The honest gurus and swamis never come to limelight and they remain minding their own inherited divine business remains aloof from the publicity. 

There are so many   gurus who have overnight become Global Gurus. They only play with the feelings of people. Most of them are propagating ancient yogic practices as if it is their own great new invention and branding them or getting them patented,   this is the height of the mockery of spirituality. As long as innocent and ignorant people are there, these kinds of Gurus can flourish their business to a peak height. They cannot only fool the mass of people but also the people in political power. 

Religion needs a guru to propagate its belief system, whereas in pursuit of truth there is no need for a guru. The ultimate truth has to be ascertained by the seeker alone.  Yoga needs a guru to guide its student to practice Samadhi. 

Religion encourages the one  who can induce himself to feel convinced that he has realized the Self, or has  an admirer who believes that he has done so, then it  opens up for  him the way for the founding of a new sect based on Guru-worship. People, too, have developed curious credulousness. Often they would install an earnest seeker and devotee, or a pious saint, on the throne of God and begin to offer him worship and homage even if he protested and resisted such acts. They would lay prostrate, sing hymns, wave lights (arati) and burn incense before him, and present to him food which was to be returned by him as prasada, wash his toes and sip the wash. At times the disciple would go to the length of getting food, fruit or a betel-nut leaf chewed by him, and taking the morsel back from it.

They would place his photo in the private temples of their homes and perform all these rites and ceremonies which are usually offered to the temple-idols.  In this way there might be at present in our country scores of individuals who are worshiped as living God, with a following varying in numbers.

If one is seeking truth one has to drop all religious based dogmas and blind beliefs ritualistic baggage and move forward in their pursuit of truth. 

Yogic or religious truth is individual truth, not universal.  The mystics cannot claim that they have experienced the whole.  There is no proof they have seen it, because the whole is not an individual experience. The man and the world are within the whole. 

 If they say, “they know from experience” they merely assume so.” mystic experience is based on ego thus it is part of the illusion. Self realization is not an individual experience.  The yoga and mysticism are individualized truth. Since they consider the ‘I’ as self they cannot know the Universal self  or  Atman or  consciousness which is the innermost self . The consciousness is the cause of the universe in which we exist and it itself is uncaused. Thus the whole universe is created out of single stuff and that stuff is formless consciousness.  Thus consciousness is ultimate truth and ultimate truth is God.  

"Organized Religions place God as the unknown reality”. Every Organized Religionists has a different idea of God. Everyone has a different idea of reality or truth. Hence there is need of definition before the study. 

The fallacy of Religionists appeal to scripture lies in the varying and conflicting interpretations of the same scripture, which different men feel, entitled to give or hold.

The Yogi or mystic who sees or experiences something in his meditation, which he takes as the highest is mere individual experience, within the false experience (waking) “whatever is based on individuality is not the ultimate truth or Reality.

God belongs to individuality. No one can prove the existence of God. God cannot exist without the believer.  Therefore god is dependent on man for his existence. Thus there is a need to verify man’s existence in order to unfold the mystery of one’s own existence.
