People think god is somewhere, up there, monitoring every act of the people, guiding the lost and uplifting the poor. God is the one who punishes the evil and rewards the benevolent.Some people even claim of seeing them in stone idols or some concept

FORMLESS PATH: Without the knower, there is no such thing as known. The knower is formless and knownsunthosh-formlesspath.blogspot.com
The words betray the hollowness. The real cannot be described; it must be discovered and realized. Whatever the words try to convey is only helpful to grasp the truth. The non-dual truth has to be grasped and realized.
Man knows only the world, and his individual experiences within the world. He is not aware of the fact that, he and his experience of the world are part of the illusion. He views and judges the truth on the base of his birth entity, which is false entity, thus he is stuck in the muck of illusion/duality. The non-dual truth lies beyond the physical based understanding. Thus, it is necessary to verify the fact through deeper inquiry, analysis and reasoning about his own inherited beliefs and accumulated knowledge, in order to realize, how they become obstacle in realizing the truth.
The physical conditioning of the soul will be dropped only when it realizes the fact that, the physical self / ego is not the self. Thus struggling to get rid of the ego, on the base of the ego is a foolish venture. Constant mental pounding is necessary through constant reflecting on the truth that, the soul is the true self and on the base of the soul all else is mere mirage/illusion. When one grasps these truth and becomes firm in his conviction the physical conviction drops and the non-dual wisdom dawns. Thus, one becomes aware of the non-dual truth in the midst of the experience of duality/illusion.
The rebirth and reincarnation theory is based on the physical self. The soul has no birth; therefore, it has no death. When the birth, life and death are reality within the false experience then the rebirth and reincarnation is reality within the falsehood. Since, man is immersed himself in believing the duality as reality, he is unaware of the ultimate truth or Brahman.
When the seeking mind discovers the fact that the waking entity is not the true self, then identifies the soul as true self, and learns to view and judge the three states on the base of the soul, then the ignorance drops. Moreover, it becomes aware of the fact that, the three states are mere mirage created sustained and finally dissolves as soul, which is in the form of the consciousness .
Names and forms are part of the false experience. Origin of the false experience[mind or waking or universe] is the soul. The soul is the formless substance and witness of the three states. Without the formless witness, the false experience ceases to exist. Therefore, the false self/ego has to trace the true self in order to overcome the duality and merge in its formless non dual true nature.
When the waking entity is not the self, than how can the karma based on the waking entity can have effect. The theory based on the false self within the false experience has to be falsehood.
Karma/action performed within the false experience is bound to be falsehood because the waking experience itself is falsehood on the standpoint of the soul ,which is the innermost self.
If karma performed in the dream is reality within the dream. The dream becomes unreal when waking takes place. Similarly the waking becomes unreal when wisdom dawns. The wisdom dawns when the waking entity realizes itself it is not the self but the self is the formless substance and witness of the three states, which comes and goes in succession. The formless substance and witness are one in essence. That essence is consciousness. The consciousness is innermost self. On the standpoint of consciousness [soul] the three states are mere mirage. Thus whatever prevails without the mirage is ultimate reality or Brahman. This has to be grasped mentally and reflected constantly, to enter in to non-dual self-awareness.
Personal conduct cannot be used as a yardstick in pursuit of truth. All the societal/religious code of conduct is meant for the physical plane. Deeper inquiry and reasoning reveals the fact that, the physical body [I] is not the self but the true self is the formless soul, therefore, one has to view and judge the truth on the base the formless soul, in order to acquire nondual wisdom.
The whole physical experience is dependent on the soul for its existence. Thus, it is erroneous to view and judge the truth on the base of physical entity [‘I’], which is the false self within the false experience. Thus, it is necessary to know the true self is not ‘I’, but the formless soul in order to understand, assimilate, and realize the ultimate truth/reality.
It is erroneous to view and judge the ultimate truth, on the base of the false self, within the false experience, without verifying the facts about our present physical experience is mere illusion. Whatever viewed and judged on the false self [‘I’] within the false experience is bound to be falsehood. Thus, it is necessary to know what is real and what unreal in order is to have the yardstick to accept the truth and reject the untruth.
Only when the seeker realizes the fact that, the soul is the true self, he realizes the fact that, whatever it has seen, known, believed, experienced is mere mirage. Thus the experience of the birth, life, death and the world are part of the mirage. Therefore basing the truth on the waking entity or ego entity is erroneous. There is neither creation nor creator on the standpoint of the soul, which is the innermost self.
Therefore, the cause and effect has no meaning on base of the soul the innermost self.
Man has the great attachment to his individuality, but he is fully ignorant of the fact that, he and his experience of the world are reality with in the false experience. Once he becomes aware of the fact that the three states are unreal on the base of the soul, which is the innermost self, he becomes aware of the fact that, the individuality is part of the illusion.
It is impossible to acquire Self-knowledge with religious belief, god, guru glorification, and scriptural studies. Religion,yoga are barricades in unfolding the truth. Religion, god, guru and scriptures yoga are based on the waking entity or ego, which is the false self within the false experience . Deeper self -search reveals the fact that, the waking experience itself is falsehood , therefore whatever is based on the waking entity is bound to be falsehood. Thus, whatever based on the waking entity or ego cannot transport the seeker to reality, which is beyond duality.
