When one finds disappointment in religion, yoga or mysticism and he is in confusion and uncertainty, whether he is right or wrong. There is no certainty that he is proceeding on right lines?" Thus doubts arise and the inquiring spirit comes and impels to search elsewhere for truth where it will not be possible even to have doubt.
Only in non- duality, where there are no two to argue about views or to have difference of opinion can such doubtlessness be possible. Belief depends upon unstable bases whereas certainty depends on proof.
Seeker has to get rid of his doubts by sound reasoning. Seeker of truth should not simply go on believing everything, which has come from his grooming and whatever he is been heard, read and told without verifying their validity. Seeker has to get rid of the doubts by the deeper inquiry, analysis and reasoning."
Yoga, Theology, mythology, religion, poetry all belong to the same class--appeal to belief, fancy, imagination, not truth. When one cannot fully know the truth about the physical existence then, how can he hope ever to know God, who is dependent on human existence? Then why bring in the belief system, without investigating the truth of the physical existence.
The spiritual healing is not the power of the god which is mere belief. The healer and the healing takes place in illusion. There is neither the individualized god, nor the healer not healing in the realm of reality. One man gets cured and speaks and spreads the fame of the healer. Why he got cured he does not know; whilst many others may fail to receive a cure and their cases are not talked about. The individual experiences within the experience of duality are nothing to with the witness. The witness of the experience of duality [waking/dream] is always apart and unaffected. The experience of duality, which comes and goes, is impermanent whereas the formless witness is permanent.
Whatever experienced in the presence of a god men or yogi is due to prior suggestion inherited from the grooming. The god men of one religion are not considered as revered by people belonging to other religion. People accept only the god men or holy men of their own religion. The words of god men will fail to impress the mass if the god men belonging to other religion. The religion ceases to exist without the idea of god/guru. Some worship their guru as god some individualized god and some worship and pray to the formless god. The idea of god is based on the physicality and physicality is not reality. In reality there is only non- duality, and there is no scope for any second thing. There is no second thing to say there is god or no god. Therefore, the true self which is the spirit is ultimate truth.
The teachings of Pseudo-gurus who claim mystic teaching is immoral are ignorant on the base of the true self. The orthodox people always craving for religion and indulge themselves in godly business, because they think their religion has come as their inheritance from their ancestors and passed on from one generation to the next. And they feel it is their duty to protect their inherited customs, traditions and beliefs. The fear propagated by priest craft that, if one does not to follow its rites and dogmas will bring punishment and misfortunes and they will not be qualified for enjoyment in the next world or next life creates fear and makes them incapable of accepting anything other then their accepted truth.
People’s inability to give up the beliefs of its truth, even when their reason demonstrates its fallacies and absurdities are merely forms of mild obsessions, i.e. a thought constantly repeating itself automatically in their subconscious; hence it is mental disease created out of hallucination.
The concept of god, karma, heaven and hell are ideas created by religion, to help for those who are incapable of grasping. The concept of god and goddesses and karma are part of the ignorance. By worshiping god and goddesses one accepts the false self as true self, thus he is unfit for self-knowledge. Therefore concept of god is not the means to acquire the self knowledge. That is why Buddha rejected concept of God.
Devotion is meant for those who are unable to think deeply and more interested in worldly life to manipulate the worldly life with the belief of individualized god. Thus the belief is part of the illusion. Therefore, the devotional path is limited to duality/mind.
Unless one give up the ideas of sin, karma, heaven and hell, non-dual truth is impossible to grasp. The truth of the theory of karma, sin, heaven and hell must be proved here and now, not in the next world. If this cannot be done, then it is not possible to hold such idea, as existence of heaven and hell as true. Mere speculation on basis of scriptural authority is not the proof.
