Upanishads:~ All
this is full /from fullness, fullness comes when fullness is taken
from fullness/ fullness still remains.
~ This belief is all-comprehensive and allabsorbing. There is
nothing that is not God.
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 conceptual belief, in inanimate or living things. Is it our faith that makes us believe that there is some supreme power above us or is it a reality, that can never be answered? Until this conviction is there one is in the grip of the dualistic illusion or Maya.
The dualistic illusion or Maya keeps one in ignorance of our true existence. Therefore, there is a need to verify the fact that the ‘Self ‘, is not you but it is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
When you become aware of the fact that, the ‘Self’ is the Soul, then you realize the fact that whatever is known, seen, believed, and experienced on the base of the false self is an illusion.
You are the false self within the false experience. You are not the Self because you are the birth entity whereas the Soul, the Self is birthless and deathless. The Soul is birthless and deathless because it is an ever-formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
From the standpoint of the Soul, the innermost Self, you and your experience of the world and your religion and your religious God and your accumulated knowledge is a falsehood because the waking experience is merely an illusion.
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).
When Bhagavad Gita says, God is considered the all-pervading consciousness which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material then nothing has to be accepted as God other than consciousness.
The Vedas confirm 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 Self. May ye never accept another
God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)
The dualistic worship of "God” is only for the
ignorant populace. The God in truth is only Atman, the Self. In reality, there is no
duality, no differentiation. Only Atman exists.
Bible says: ~ “God is a Spirit, and they that worship him must worship him in spirit
and in truth (John 4:24)”,
The Spirit is the root element of the universe. The Spirit is present in
the form of the Soul, the 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.
Yajurveda – chapter- 32:~ God is Supreme Spirit.
If God is Spirit,
then how does man know God created the world? There is no proof. If 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). :~Santthosh Kumaar
