The deathless Self has neither caste nor race, Neither eyes not ears nor hands nor feet.




Those who realize the fact that, the Self is neither the waking entity nor the self is dream entity but the self is formless soul or consciousness [formless] enter into the realm of non-dual Self-Awareness or Brahmic -Awareness or Atmic -Awareness. . They are fully aware of the fact that, the soul or consciousness is the innermost self and it pervades everywhere and in everything in the universe, which is present in the form of the mind or ‘I’. the ‘I’ or mind or universe appears as waking or dream and disappears back as formless soul.

Thus the mind (I) which is in the form of universe is mere mirage created out of consciousness.   The mind (I) or universe is myth on the standpoint of consciousness, which is the true self.  Whatever the mind (I) or universe or waking contains is myth.  Thus, the birth, life and death or pleasure and pain which are happenings within the mind or universe are myth.   Thus judging the truth on the base of the waking entity or ego is erroneous. 

The gross universe is merged into the mental universe in the sense that when it is analyzed, it is found to exist inseparably in and as the mind alone. All "spiritual" planes are really mental: those who regard them as different or higher will remain ignorant.

A Gnani is free from experiencing the illusion [body + universe] as reality, he is fully aware of the fact that, his body and his experience of the world as consciousness, which is ultimate truth.  
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.

Theological philosophers say God is a perfect being, but they have never known God, never proved his existence; hence their ascription of perfection to Him is purely self-imagined or assumed.

The scholastic or mystic argument is endless. If one says "God is formless” another will reply, "No, God has attributes! If one says "his religion is higher" another will reply, "No, it is lower." It is impossible to get anywhere with such talk because both sides are merely imagining because they think on the base of the false self and false experience. When the self is not physical then whatever seen, known, believed and experienced as person is bound to be falsehood.   Therefore, there is need to know the fact that, the self is formless. 

The paradise or heavens and hell are mere religious injected imagination.  When the self is formless then the experience of birth, life death and the universe are mere mirage.  But where people have got a little thinking capacity, they begin to disbelieve through the contradictions of various contending orthodox claims and descriptions.
               
For religion one can interpret texts as he likes, in whatever way that pleases him, he simply imagine away. 

 Mundaka Upanishad:- The study of the Vedas, linguistics, Rituals, astronomy and all the arts Can be called lower knowledge. The higher Is that which leads to Self-realization. The eye cannot see it; mind cannot grasp it. The deathless Self has neither caste nor race, Neither eyes not ears nor hands nor feet. Sages say this Self is infinite in the great And in the small, everlasting and changeless, The source of life.
