People think the Soul is within the body therefore, they are God. People study Vedanta and they are under the delusion and conclude that they declare:~ "I-Am-Brahman", but they fail to realize the fact that Brahman is everywhere and in everything! The existence of Brahman is not limited to his physical identity, because of it the very essence of the form, time and space.
What is the use of saying ‘I AM’ God without knowing what God is in actuality? You are not the Self, so you are not God. The ‘Self' is the Soul, which is present in the form of the Spirit. The Sprit is God.
The Vedas confirms God is Atman (Spirit), the Self.
Rig Veda: ~ The Atman is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman the innermost self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)
Bible says: ~ “God is a Spirit, and they that worship God must worship God in Spirit and in Truth (John 4:24)”,
God means the ultimate truth. Ultimate truth is Spirit. God is not physical. God is the Spirit. God is the Self. God is birthless and deathless because God is the formless, timeless and spaceless existence.
The birth, life, and death happen within the illusory world, which is created out of Christ, which is present in the form of the Spirit.
The Spirit is the root element of the universe. The Spirit is present in the form of the Soul, the innermost Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. From the Spirit, the universe comes into existence. In the Spirit, the universe resides. And into the Spirit, the universe is dissolved. The Spirit is the parent of all that is there is.
In Yajurveda – chapter- 32:~ It has been said that God Supreme or Supreme Spirit.
If God is the formless Spirit, then how does the man know God created the world? There is no proof. If the man had seen God creating the world, he could admit it, but how could he have seen God before he came into existence? (i.e. were created).
Remember:~
Whatever happens within the dualistic illusion is bound to be an illusion created out of the consciousness. Thus, the consciousness alone is real and all else is merely an illusion.
Remember:~
Advaita is nothing but God.
God in Vedas is not the God people believe and worship.
God in the Bible is not the God people believe and worship.
Bible says: ~ “God is a Spirit, and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24)”,
In Yajurveda – chapter- 32:~ It has been said that God Supreme or Supreme Spirit.
Vedas and Upanishad confirm the Soul, the innermost Self, is present in the form of the Spirit or the consciousness.
If God is the formless, timeless and spaceless Spirit, then how does the man know God created the world? There is no proof. If the man had seen God creating the world, he could admit it, but how could he have seen God before he came into existence? (i.e. were created).
The Spirit is the root element of the universe. The Spirit is present in the form of the Soul, the innermost Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. From the Spirit, the universe comes into existence. In the Spirit, the universe resides. And into the Spirit, the universe is dissolved. The Spirit is the parent of all that is there is.
The Spirit is present in the form of consciousness. Everything is consciousness. All the moments are within the dualistic illusion.
Whatever happens within the dualistic illusion is bound to be an illusion created out of the consciousness. Thus, the consciousness alone is real and all else is merely an illusion.
“Spirit is my father and I and my father are one.”
If the Spirit is the father the son is bound to be the Spirit. The Spirit, the beloved alone is real and all else is merely an illusion.
There is no God in the dualistic illusion because the dualistic illusion created out of God, which is present in the form of the Spirit or the consciousness. Thus, God alone is real.
Spirit is prior to Love. Love implies duality. The love hides God. When love disappears the God appears. Find the Self, and Love the Self and rest in God, which is the Spirit.
Search for God. God is not within your body but it is hidden within the world in which you exist.
God is not in any mosque, temple or church. The religious Gods are not God in truth.
The dualistic worship of "God” only for the ignorant populace and Advaitic wisdom, unfolds the mystery of the real God.
Lord Krishna himself Says Ch~ V:~ “Those who know me in truth.". The last two words (tattvataha) are usually ignored by pundits, but they make all the difference between the ordinary concept of God and the truth about God.
Bhagavad Gita: ~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham ~ Brahman (God) is considered the all-pervading consciousness, which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. (14.27. )
It proves that the all-pervading Atman, which is present in the form of consciousness, is God. Thus, worshipping the form-based Gods is meant for the ignorant populace who are incapable of realizing the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.
Rig-Veda 1-164-46 and Y.V 32-1 clearly mention that God is “One”.
Rig Veda: ~ The Atman is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman the innermost self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)
In Yajurveda – chapter- 32:~ It has been said that God Supreme or Supreme Spirit has no ‘Pratima’ (idol) or material shape. God cannot be seen directly by anyone. God pervades all beings and all directions. Thus, Idolatry does not find any support from the Vedas.
Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God) is in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.
People who are saying ‘I Am GOD’ are hallucinating that they become God. First, you must know what is God.
That is why Ashtavakra Gita 16:10:~ If you desire liberation, but you still say "mine," If you feel the ‘Self’ is the ‘I’, You are not a wise man or a seeker. You are simply a man who suffers.
If one thinks the Advaitic truth is the ultimate truth, then he has to drop all theories based on the ‘I’. All the theories based on the ‘I’ are based on the dualistic perspective. How can one realize the nondualistic truth on the dualistic theories?
The ‘I’ hides the Advaita, which is the ultimate truth. Thus, why glorify the ‘I’ which is the cause of ignorance. The seeker has to make sure and accept only the uncontradictable truth.
That is why Bhagavad Gita: ~ “The permanent is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes.” (2.18)
The ‘I’ hides the Atman the God in truth.
People think the ‘I’ without the body is the ‘Self’. The seeker has to understand the fact that ‘I’ is not the ‘Self’, but the witness of the ‘I’ is the true ‘Self’, which is eternal.
People are stuck with the reality of the ‘I’, which they take it as real because some Gurus have propagated the ‘Self’ is the ‘I’. is no need to convince such a mindset. The seeker of truth accepts only the truth nothing but the truth.
Advaita is not a theory.
Advaita is the nature of the truth.
Advaita is the nature of the Soul, the ‘Self’.
Advaita is the Soul itself’.
Advaita is the nature of God because Rigveda says the Soul itself’ is God.
Advaita is nothing but God.
Thus, it is time to realize the world in which we exist is created out of the Soul, which is the innermost ‘Self’. The Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness is the cause of the world in which we exist and it, itself’ is uncaused. The Soul alone is real and eternal. The eternal Soul itself is God. There is no other God other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Realize the Soul, the innermost is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God. The Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness itself is God. The consciousness is the cause of the world in which you exist. And the consciousness itself’ is uncaused.
Thus, the truth realization itself is God-realization because the ultimate truth is Brahman or God. The ‘Self’-realization is God-realization and God-realization is real worship.
Nothing has to be accepted as God other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Atman is Brahman means the Soul alone is God. Atman is the Advaitic God. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
