The universe is real for him who has not attained to the
knowledge of the self. Just as the entire complex of phenomenal existence in
the dream is considered to be true until waking arises. Similarly, the entire complex of phenomenal
existence of the waking experience is considered as true so long as the nondual
wisdom has not arisen.
The worship and worshiper
and the deity are part of the ignorance. In the state of ignorance blind
beliefs and exercises are popular. They are meaningless and valueless on the
ultimate standpoint. The truth is no individualized god. If one believes there
is creator than worshiping the creation is ignorance. Thus there is a need to
know what truth, in order to know what God really is.
The worshiper of God as personal really does worship God bur
worships ignorance. And he who speaks of personal God as creator of the world speaks
is unaware of the truth.
The organized religions are based on the belief, because blind
belief is foundation of the organized region.
The religious theories are lower knowledge meant for those who are incapable
of going in to deeper self-search.
The religious truth is individual truth. The individual truth is
based on the birth, life, death and the world.
Thus individual truth is lower know-ledge based on the false self within
the false experience.
The ultimate truth is based on soul, which is the inner most
self. Whatever is based on the soul as self is real knowledge or wisdom.
The religious philosophy seems to be true, for those who have
not attained the higher knowledge, but from the ultimate standpoint point the
universe is mere illusion. Thus all our accumulated knowledge based on
religious philosophy is bound to be falsehood.
The birth, life and death takes place within the universe. The
man is bound by religion and its theories within the universe. Man believes and worships of a personal God
within the universe. Man experiences the plain and pleasure within the
universe. All scientific inventions take
place within the universe. Man is
religious or atheist within the universe. Man is ignorant of his true existence
within the universe. Man is searching the truth of his true existence within
the universe. Man is unaware of the fact that,
the phenomenal universe is unreal because he is within the state of
ignorance.
The idea of the creator
and creation is a myth. All [universe] is consciousness, and consciousness is all
[universe]. The consciousness is
ultimate truth.
Self is ‘I’- less. Self is bodiless. Whatever is connected to
‘I’ or ‘I AM’ is ignorance. When ignorance ends it is Gnana. When Gnana arise
than the body, ego and the universe is mere mirage created out of
consciousness. Until one gets the firm conviction that the
self is not physical but self is formless consciousness and learns to view and
judge and conclude on the base of formless self, Gnana will not arise. Gnana is the result of contemplation; it in
annihilates ignorance. Ignorance is the cause of experiencing the illusion as
reality.
