All organized religions propagate an
external God. All religious gods are mere imaginary. Their argument is that, if
there is a watch than there has to be a watch maker, therefore when there is creation
there has to be creator. This argument holds no water from ultimate standpoint. This argument is never ending because
who created the creator. The powerful
religious lobby covers all religious fables by saying it is irreligious to say something against their belief system, because of
their vested interests to prevent ordinary mortals from realizing the ultimate
truth.
There is no such entity as God who is working
full time to monitor our activities. There is no God who can give us rewards
and punishments. Those who are constantly driving this point into the mind of
the poor and vulnerable are doing a great disservice to their own selves.
People who are incapable to inquire and reason are tending to follow
some philosophy without verification. Therefore the more ignorant they are the
easier to get them into a religious fold. Religion is so strong and popular
because it makes no demand on the intelligent; it simply requires belief in
guru and his teachings.
It never strikes believer to doubt whether his inherited belief system
is true. They never use their reason because they start and conclude that their
belief system alone is true, because
they never question the validity of their inherited belief.
For religion one can interpret texts as he likes, in whatever way that
pleases him, he simply imagine away. The
idea of god injected in the past and inherited by people and they refuse to
verify the facts, because they think it blasphemy even to question their
inherited belief system.
In pursuit of truth the ultimate truth has to be proved, not assumed.
Pundits who take scriptures for granted are not Gnanis.
Pundits teach that all is your-self, but none of them can show that this
is so, none has analyzed it scientifically, and none can prove it. Rational
proof is needed, so that one arrive at knowing truth i.e. wisdom; punditry is
mere dogma, parrotism, repetition of what they read in scripture. Scriptures
are not yardstick and scriptural truth is not proof. Pundits take Scriptures as authority. Authoritarianism merely assumes as true what
another says, but what has yet to be proved.
Pundits have to test truth in this world not in the next world. There is no proof other than blind belief
based on the scriptures, belief is not truth.
So, doctrines are not the means to realize the ultimate truth. There is
no need to follow them.
Scholastic or mystic argument leads nowhere. If one says “God is
formless “another will say, God has a form. If one says "this scriptures
has higher than all other scriptures” another will say, "No, that is lower
and there are many scriptures higher than that." It is impossible to get
anywhere with such talk because both sides are merely assuming and
imagining.
The soul /spirit dwell in all the three states as their formless
substance and witness. People worship only images, thinking that God is there.
People do not recognize Spirit /Soul / Self to be the real God, but that they
do not realize that god, as the spirit, which pervades in everything and
everywhere in all the three states.
The ignorant people are not capable of
discriminate and reason to unfold the mystery of the mind. Therefore,
they will not be able to grasp the non-dual truth. It is realization the true
self that will free one from bondage of duality. But the belief system makes them to believe
the duality is reality therefore, they cannot think beyond physicality.
No one has ever seen God; they only heard or read about him. Some may
claim they seen him in the vision. But
vision is mere an experience similar to dream. If one takes the visions as real
then the dream also be taken as reality.
No one knows god’s capacities, what He can create, and what he cannot
create. Therefore any statement one might make about God would only be a lie,
because god can exist only when man exists, and believes in the belief of god.
If there is no belief then there is no god. Thus god is the religious software
in belief system. If the software is
removed then it is only physical existence.
The truth will unfold only when one is able to think beyond physical
existence.
The truth of religion can only be proved by physical strength or by
imagination, or power of the weapon or political power, never by reason. Belief in religious prohibitions arises out
of fear of God's punishment. Seeker of
truth has to regard the theosophy in the same way as he regards the idea of
God- of religion.
Religionists place God as the unknown reality. Every religionist has a
different idea of God. Every man has a different idea of reality, hence there
is need to know the ultimate truth. The
fallacy of religionist’s appeal to scripture lies in the varying and
conflicting interpretations of the same scripture which different persons feel
entitled to give or hold.
Therefore, one has overcome all the inherited conditioning of belief
system to unfold the mystery of the physical existence/mind.
The god exists only when the man exists. Man and his experience of the
world exist only when the mind exists.
Until and unless one is able to unfold the mystery of the mind, which
appears and disappears, he will not be able to know the reality of the true
existence.
Individualized God propagated by the belief system exists only in
duality. Deeper inquiry, analysis and reasoning on the true base revels the
fact that, the self is not physical but it is the formless spirit. The experience
of duality/mind is mere mirage on the standpoint of the true self/spirit.
Thus, man and his experience of world and his belief of god is part and
parcel of the mirage. The mirage is created, sustained by spirit and finally it
dissolves as spirit. The formless substance and witness of the mirage is real
and eternal.
Therefore, deeper reasoning is necessary in order to unfold the mystery
of the physical existence/mind/universe, to realize the physical existence or universe
is mere mirage.
All the penances are external because they are based on the
individuality. Investigating the mind, alone leads to self-realization. To know
what is mind, profits much rather than searching the truth in external world
moving from one ashram to another and one guru to another and one mountain to
another. When one starts investigating the universe that confronts him
than he will mentally move inwards and will be able to reach the ultimate
end. And he will become fully aware “What is truth?” and “What is
untruth?” in his own home or city without disturbing his family life. and
he will be able to establish in the truth by realizing what is
untruth.
Man is like caged animal. He cannot get out of the inherited
conditioning very easily. Ignorance makes him experience duality as reality.
The religion makes him to accept blind belief as truth pushes him in the prison
of slavery to belief based ideas or theories. Scriptures and scholars of every
belief system differ widely on every point and there is no universality in
religion. Thus religion is a useless raft to cross the ocean of ignorance
because the religion is based on individuality and it can yield only individual
truth. Individuality is falsehood from ultimate standpoint.
When one is not aware of the fact that that, the true self is not waking
entity but the formless knower of the three state than how Can he
say he know the existence of God which is mere
assumption based on the false self within the false experience. Thus whatever
one see, knows, believes and experiences as a person of the world within the
waking experience is bound to be false hood.
Without the knowing the fact that self is not the form but the self is
formless it is foolish to argue, judge and conclude on the base of the form
[waking entity] , which is not the self.
Without knowing what is Self, holding ‘I’ or ‘I AM’ as self because they
have read it or someone has told them or they think it is ultimate truth
without verification through deeper inquiry, analysis and sound reasoning is
mere assumption or speculation. Such assumptions and speculation blocks one
from realizing the non dual truth fueling the egocentricity.
No one can honestly say that he knows the ultimate truth unless he is
soul centric. Yet mystics’ god men glibly say, "I know God."
And “I AM GOD”.
If there is Brahman-—prove it. If there is Atman--prove it right here
right now. Religious so-called philosophy dogmatically assumes both.
The god who appears to the mystic in meditation or penance is mere
hallucination because whatever is known, seen, believed and experienced as a
person within the waking experience is falsehood because waking experience
itself is falsehood. From ultimate standpoint there is no value for such
claim.
When one does not know truth, than he can only guess, imagine, hence
doubts and questions and discussions arise.
One says God is Light. Again the light may take different colors,
then which color is correct? Some people contend that God is sound and say one
hears the Aum sound, sound inside in meditation, still others say God is in the
form of fragrant smell and that beautiful scent comes in meditation as the
presence of God. All these differences of opinion, they can be endless, show
mutual contradiction and general error, i.e. lack of certain truth. Moreover if
one sees a light he is seeing a second thing, or duality. Where there is
duality there is no reality.
God is impotent, incompetent or lacking in intelligence--if he exists!
But all god propagated by belief systems are nothing but imaginations.
There is nothing so absurd which men have not worshiped in religion,
every imaginable face has been given to God. If god is creator then it is
foolish to worship anything as god from his creation because the creation is
apart from the god.
One has to know ‘What is truth?’ One cannot get rid of it by shutting
his eyes to it. It is only by inquiry, analysis and reasoning one becomes aware
of ‘what is truth?’ and “what is not truth’.
Every belief system has its own idea and conviction of god. Thus
every belief system is based on the false self. Therefore, whatever is
based on the false self has to be falsehood? Thus the idea of god of any belief
system has is mere assumption and speculation based on the false self.
It is foolish say I know god and he is everywhere because he has read it
or heard from someone. How does he know ‘God’ and how does he know that ‘God’
is everywhere? Appearances and quotations have nothing to do with
ultimate truth.
The difference between knowledge: - that knowledge will be determined by
the nature of the object to be known, whereas meditation will be determined by
the nature of the meditator.
Those few who have realized and are
convinced about the non-existence of any God that is external to anyone or
anything need to have firm conviction that the inner most self, which is in the
form of consciousness is the ultimate
truth and ultimate truth is God, to get rid of the current delusion. Those who
are in serious pursuit of truth, the ultimate truth only have to be considered
as God.
Self-knowledge has clearly exposes
all the existing popular religious theories about God and all that appears to
be real. The organized religions stand
completely exposed as a result of the self-search.
