People
think an orthodox man who goes on worshiping God or speaking only of god all
the 24 /7 is greatly revered. The atheists
think belief is a case of unbalanced obsession by exaggerating myth as reality.
The religionists believe in existence of god and atheist believes in god does
not exits. Thus, both are based on the
belief of god and no god, not the ultimate truth. Only the ultimate truth can
be called God because the whole physical existence is dependent on it. Thus truth realization is necessary in order
to realize the fact that, all our individual gods propagated by organized
religions is not universal truth.
Pursuit of
truth is the path of verification. Yoga takes
for granted that there is an Iswara--God, gives it for concentration purposes,
and then one naturally find God in his meditations. But it is only an imagined
God. Mystics see what they are looking for or that whose existence they presuppose.
Therefore Yoga belongs to physical existence. And physical existence is mere
mirage on the standpoint of the soul, which is the true self.
The
existence of god is presupposed idea
invented, introduced and injected to the mass by organized religion. Every religion has its own idea of god. Every
religion thinks its god is true and others gods are fake. Therefore, religious truth is individual
truth not universal truth. No
religion cans the existence of god other then showing their scriptural
authority as proof. When the self is not physical, then the individual cannot be God. Personal experience which is not universally
valid is no proof, neither is ecstatic feeling. The experience is mere physical and experience
cannot be a proof. The wisdom arises
when one becomes realizes the fact that there is no experience but the non-dual
awareness.
What one
knows as truth must be inquired ,analyzed and reasoned on the base of true self,
to see if it be true or not. Experience must be taken, checked, analyzed and
corrected. It is the characteristic of all human beings to believe they
understand, even when they do not. Otherwise one may be merely imagining as he
likes.
No
assumption, no faith, is needed in pursuit of truth, which demands thinking.
People want only to imagine because it is easier. They do not want to think
deeply because it is too troublesome.
