Sage Sri, Sankara ’says:- "Kuruthe Ganga sahar gamanam
Vratha paripal mathva dhanam. Gyana Vihine.Sarva Mathene.”
Gnana is common to all religions. There is nothing like One Gnana for a Hindu
and another for a Christian.
People craving for religion, the fear that not to
follow its rites and dogmas will bring punishment, the inability to give up the
notion of its truth even when one’s reason demonstrates its fallacies and
absurdities are merely forms of mild obsessions, that is a thought constantly
repeating itself automatically; hence it is mental syndroUltimate Truth or brahman is impossible to realize
unless one give up the ideas of heaven and hell.
Ultimate Truth must be proved here and now, on this earth. If that cannot be done, it cannot be considered any such idea, as existence of heaven and hell as true.
The haven, hell, paradise, sin, karma, birth, life and death are reality only on the base of ‘ego' or waking entity which is false self within the false experience. Deeper self-search reveals the fact that the waking experience itself is mere mirage. Therefore whatever seen,known, believed and experienced as waking entity within the waking experience is bound to be falsehood
Everyone likes Religion because it belongs to the world of emotions and sentiments. Religion changes as it appeals to different emotions. One will find at one pole the nude saint is admired; at the other the gorgeously-dressed god-men is revered.
Truth is bitter pill. It becomes very difficult for the seeker to accept it at first; because of his inherited conditioning. Gradually he will be able to grasp it as he moves on.
One has to go beyond Vedas means go beyond religion. Go beyond religion means, go beyond concept of god. Thus, going beyond Veda, religion and conceptual god means going beyond illusion. That is end of Vedas (Veda –antha)
When one goes into the annals of the history it looks like the true Advith expounded by Sri Sankara and his param guru, Goudpada was lost or mutilated by the orthodoxy, because the preaching and practice does not match.
It is necessary for the seeker to do his homework, and verify the validity of all the claims, rather than blindly believe, what others expound as knowledge, till, the un-contradicted truth is obtained.
Each sect concocts a God to suit its own purposes. Such concocted Gods have no value in pursuit of truth. Man himself suggests that there must be a God. It is an auto-suggestion.
Prayers and sacrifices belong to a premature stage of development. However when no answers come to prayers, struggle for existence presses man, and doubt arises again. Faith in religion weakens as man pays more attention to facts of life and this world.
Yoga, Silence, path of love, meditation, rituals and devotion are based on the false self and false experience does not yield truth one seeking for, because the truth is beyond false self [ego] and false experience [universe]. Mysticism is based on individual experience. The self is not individual because the self, which s in the form of consciousness, pervades in everything and everywhere in all the three states. Blind beliefs without verification and argument and interpretation on the base of false self are not verified knowledge therefore it is not truth.

v What is the use of
arguing on base of the birth entity, which is not the self?
v What is the use of
knowing what happens after death when the self is birthless?
v What is the use of
thinking of the heaven and hell when the self is not an individual and it is
never born and never dies?
When formless consciousness, is the
innermost self, which pervades in everything and everywhere in all the three
states, what value the theoretical philosophies and scientific inventions which are based on individual
intellectuality will have.
The consciousness is ultimate truth or Brahman. Consciousness is ground of the universe, the consciousness is the first cause of the universe and it itself is uncaused.
Ultimate truth or brahman cannot be defined in positive terms because any definition would mean limitation. One has to realize the fact that, the universe and all its contents are mere mirage created out of consciousness. That means the mind and the soul, which is the innermost self are one in essence.
