People are making unlimited sacrifices and enduring unlimited suffering
in the name of protecting their religion and god. They are therefore ignorant
about the truth and incapable of understanding the ultimate truth, which is
universal god. All organized religions have unequivocally claimed man for the
life in the truth; thus it is sheer folly to fight in the name of religion and
god.
It is time that humanity had a fresh vision of truth that the mind,
which is in the form of universe, is myth and consciousness is the only thing
that is real and that matters. On the
base of consciousness as self, the physical life is a vain and empty pursuit of
illusory values.
Parental grooming is the main cause of religious influence upon the mass
mind-set and it cannot be wiped out without knowing the truth of one’s own
existence. Thus, teaching children to view and judge everything on religious
point of view by their parents, which warps the minds and destroys the capacity
to think beyond the belief system of their grooming.
People who are yearning for spiritual truth will not find it what they
are seeking for. Religious truth is individual truth and it is not universal
truth because the religion is based on individuality.
As one goes in deeper investigation find nothing satisfying in any
religion. The more he learns of any
religious doctrine they become aware of the fact that, the religion is not the
means for self-realization because the true ‘Self” is not the form but the true
self is formless. The religion is based
on the false self [ego] and false experience [universe]. Religion takes the
false self as real self and false experience as reality. Thus whatever is based
on the false self and false experience is bound to be falsehood.
The obsession with "our sins" having been "washed away by
water of river would be regarded as
evidence of a serious mental illness in an individual within any sane society,
but when this is an obsession of millions of people it becomes "religious
faith", held by many others to be something that should never be
criticized.
It was desperately important for the believers of their belief system
for some reason that others shared their beliefs because they assume that their
religious doctrine is literally true, and then justify their beliefs because
"God says so in their doctrine ".
It is no use of arguing with someone who has faith in his belief system
because for him there can be no possible refutation of what he believes, so
rational argument is entirely useless. He clings to his belief so strongly that
he makes no distinction between the truth and his belief. One has to know the
fact that god cannot exist without his existence. The truth does not depend on
gods’ existence but it entirely depends on man’s existence. Thus it is foolish to venture in knowing the
truth of gods existence without verifying the facts about his own
existence.
Deeper inquiry revel the fact that, the self is neither the body, nor the ego. If the self is not the body nor the ego then
it proves the fact that, whatever is seen, known, believed and
experienced on the base of the self as
body or ego is bound to be false hood.
Thus arguing on the standpoint of the body or ego, which is not the
“self”, is erroneous. Thus the whole
argument has to be based on the true self, which is not the body or ego. Thus it is necessary to realize the fact
that, the “self” is not the form but the “self” is formless in order to realize
the Advaitic truth.
