God created the world is an absolute lie.+

Sage Sankara says: Keep the scriptures for children but throw them on the fire for wise seekers.

In Brahma Sutras Sage Sankara takes for granted, and assumes that a world was created: He there mixes dogmatic theology with philosophy.

That God created the world is an absolute lie; nevertheless, you will find Sage Sankara (in his commentary on Vedanta Sutras) clearly says this! He has to adapt his teachings to his audience, reserving the highest for philosophical minds.

The text of Brahma Sutras is based on religion and dogmatism, but in the commentary, Sage Sankara geniusly introduced some philosophy. If it is objected that a number of Upanishads are equally dogmatic because they also begin by assuming Brahman, but a few Upanishads do not but prove Brahman at the end of a train of proof.

The causality and creation, but are for religious people only. Religion is only for those who are unable to understand truth beyond form, time, and space. Religion is not final. It only gives satisfaction to the populace.

Self-knowledge is for the whole of humanity to free them from experiencing birth, life, death, and the world as reality.

People of small intelligence follow religion and believe that the world was created by God. But how do they know that He did so? When a pot is created, one can see both pot and its maker, but not in the case of the world.

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is meant only for those who have an intense urge, and courage to accept the truth with humility and reject the untruth. Since people start comparing with their scriptural knowledge, it becomes impossible to assimilate and realize the Advaitic truth.

There is no need to convince anyone other than our own selves to get a firm conviction. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Know God in truth and realize God in truth.+

Know God in truth and realize God in truth. Religion is based on blind belief. But in pursuit of truth, doubt is the main ingredient.

No religious God can exist apart from the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

All the religious Gods with form and attributes cease to exist without the dualistic illusion.

People are not aware of the fact that there is no individual God that can exist, apart from the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Lord Krishna says Ch. V:~ “Those who know the Self 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.

When Upanishads and Vedas declare that, “God is present in the form of the Athma, and God is indeed Athma itself” then why accept another God in place of the Atman or worship other than the Atman.

Sage Sankara says: ~ Atman is Brahman (God). The Atman alone is real and is not religious truth. Sage Sri, Sankara declared this Advaitic truth, which is the ultimate truth to the whole world, many centuries back is the rational truth, scientific truth, and ultimate truth.

Most people have the desire to know the truth but the capacity to understand and assimilate it is limited. The result is that people resolve the conflict by jumping to the first and simplest and easiest conclusion as the correct one, and smugly but unjustifiably thinking “I know”: Thus, they commit the fallacy of primitivity.

The seeker needs proof to accept anything as truth. Every guru intellectuals, pundits, or yogi statements have to be verified before accepting them as the ultimate truth or Brahman. Their claims have to be verified before accepting them as the truth.

Even Bhagavad Gita says: ~ “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.

Even Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God) is present in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.

Religious Gods are based on blind belief. Belief is not God. Religious God cannot be considered as the center because the Soul and the innermost ‘Self’ is the center of all that exists. Without the Soul the world in which you exist ceases to exist, which means the religious God is dependent on the Soul for his existence. God in truth is only the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Even 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)

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~"He who worships the deities as entities entirely separate from him does not know the truth. For the Gods, he is like a pasu (beast)". (1. 4. 10)

No mantras help to get rid of ignorance. All the mantras and rituals are meant for the ignorant populace, which strongly believes, that the world in which he exists as a reality. For one who wants to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana, the mantas will not help to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

That is why Sage Sankara:~ VC~.61. For one who has been bitten by the serpent of Ignorance, the only remedy is the knowledge of Brahman. Of what avail are the Vedas and (other) Scriptures, Mantras (sacred formulae), and medicines to such a one?

VC- v6~ Let erudite scholars quote all the scripture, let Gods be invoked through sacrifices, let elaborate rituals be performed, let personal Gods be propitiated---yet, without the realization of one‘s identity With the Self, there shall be no liberation for the individual, not even in the lifetimes of a hundred Brahmas put together

Sage Sankara goes on to say: ~A sickness of not cured by saying the word “medicine.” You must take the medicine. Liberation does not come by merely saying the word “Brahman (God).” Brahman must be realized. Until you allow this apparent universe to dissolve from your consciousness until you have realized Brahman, how can you find liberation just by saying the word Brahman? The result is merely noise. Until a man has destroyed his enemies and taken possession of the splendor and wealth of the kingdom, he cannot become a king by simply saying “I am a king.”

A buried treasure is not uncovered by merely uttering the words: “Come forth.” You must follow the right directions, dig, remove the stones and earth from above it, and then make it your own. In the same way, the pure truth of the Atman, which is buried under Maya and the effects of Maya, can be reached by meditation, contemplation, and other spiritual disciplines but never by subtle arguments. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Who am 'I'? - inquiry will not yield the truth you are seeking. Without solving the mystery of the universe, the truth will not be revealed.+

Do not try to know who you are? By inquiring ‘Who am ‘I’, you will never reach the ultimate end of understanding.

Who am 'I'? - inquiry will not yield the truth you are seeking. Without solving the mystery of the universe, the truth will not be revealed.

Bhagavan Buddha:~ There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth: not going all the way... and not starting.

The seeker should not waste time sticking to any teaching or guru.

Yoga Vasistha says: ~ “Self-knowledge or knowledge of truth is not had by resorting to a Guru (preceptor) nor by the study of scripture, nor by good works: it is attained only through inquiry inspired by the company of wise (Gnani). One’s inner light alone is the means, naught else. When this inner light is kept alive, it is not affected by the darkness of inertia.

Remember:~

You, your experience of the birth, life, and death part and parcel of the illusory universe or Maya.

The Self is not you but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The Soul or consciousness is the cause of the illusory universe or Maya.

When the universe along with you is created out of consciousness then consciousness, which is the cause of the universe alone is real and eternal.

Ashtavakra Gita: ~” The universe rises from the ‘Self’ like bubbles from the sea. Thus, know the Self to be One and in this way enter into the state of dissolution."

Realizing the world in which you exist is nothing but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness is Self-realization because the Self is not you but the ‘Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

When the Soul remains in its own awareness in the midst of the dualistic illusion (the world in which you exist) is Self-awareness.:~Santthosh Kumaar

Some Gurus say surrender your Soul to God. But the Soul is not different from God because the Soul itself is God. There is no second God other than the Soul.+

Some Gurus say surrender your Soul to God. But the Soul is not different from God because the Soul itself is God in truth. There is no second God other than the Soul.

Those who are unaware there is no difference between the Soul and God belong to religion and yoga. Religion and yoga are nothing to do with Spirituality.

Sage Sankara says:~ ‘He who knows the Brahman (God in truth) is one and the Soul, the ‘Self’ is another, does not know Brahman (God in truth).”

The Atman or the Soul which is present in the form of consciousness is the Self.

Consciousness is the witness that experiences the action, the actor, and the world of separate things. It is like a light that illuminates everything in a theatre, revealing the master of ceremonies, the guests, and the dancers with complete impartiality. Even when they all depart, the light shines to reveal their absence.

What is not the consciousness in waking, dream, or deep sleep? The waking and the dream cease to exist without consciousness. The Soul (witness and the three states (witnessed) are one in essence. That essence is consciousness. Thus, the seeker, seeking and his destination all are one in essence.

There is only a need to realize the whole universe in which we exist is created out of the consciousness (Soul), the  Self.

From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, and the universe is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.

From the ultimate standpoint, no second thing exists other than consciousness. Thus, consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God in truth) is present in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.

Even 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)

Rig Veda: ~ 'Prajnanam Brahma'- Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.  

God in truth is the Atman, the Self. Atman is present in the form of consciousness.  Do not accept any other God other than Atman not worship other than Atman.  Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious. Nothing is real but God. Nothing Matters but love for God in truth. God in truth is everywhere and in everything. God in truth is hidden by the illusory universe. God in truth alone is and all else is an illusion. : ~Santthosh Kumaar

By sticking to some Guru and surrendering to him, the Advaitic wisdom will not dawn. Surrendering is a religious fable.+

By sticking to some Guru and surrendering to him, the Advaitic wisdom will not dawn. Surrendering is a religious fable.

Surrendering is nothing to do with the ultimate truth or Brahman. Surrender implies duality. There is no duality in reality.

Simply saying surrender without realizing the ultimate truth is like trying to sweeten the seawater by putting a spoon of sugar.

Guru’s sermons consisted of ornamental words merely to please the taste of the religious mindset. Hence, the seeker of truth should earnestly set about realizing the truth beyond form, time, and space.

People are unaware that the world in which he exists is a product of ignorance. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is the only remedy to eliminate ignorance.

There is no use of religion, the religious Gods, Gurus, Yogis, and the Scriptures, rituals to acquire Self- knowledge, or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Ignorance does not leave off if one simply utters the name of Guru.

Without direct realization, the Soul cannot be liberated by the mere repeating of the name of the Guru or personal God.

The seeker has to remember the name belongs to the domain of the illusory form, time, and space.:~Santthosh Kumaar

Advaita propagated by Sage Sankara is pure spirituality or Adyathma. Advaita is nothing to do with non-Vedic Advaitic orthodoxy.+

Sage Sankara was the Vedic Sage of universal order projecting him as a non-~Vedic Guru is a great error.

Religious people attach the word Dharma to religion. But in the spiritual context, the Dharma is the Atman, the Self.

In Tattireya Upanishad:~ "satyaM vada. dharmaM cara ." Speak the truth, and practice dharma. Now if you want to practice dharma, you should first know what it means. (1.11.1)

The word, “dharma “is found in the karikas, which means Atma in Advaita Vedanta.

Advaita is the nature of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Sage Sankara belongs to the whole of humanity his Advaitic wisdom is nothing to do with religion and yoga because it is pure spirituality.

The Vedic truth is the pure spiritual truth. The essence of the Vedas is pure spirituality. Advaita propagated by Sage Sankara is pure spirituality. Advaita is nothing to do with non-~Vedic Advaitic orthodoxy, which is meant for the ignorant populace.

Remember:~

Sage Sankara himself declares: Ataman is Brahman (God) then why to accept anything else as God other than Atman.

Sage Sankara says: ~ Ataman is Brahman. Thus, the Soul the ‘Self’ is God in truth. Therefore, all the Gods with form and attributes are mere imaginations based on the false self. Thus, there is adulteration and add-ons in the past, which have to be bifurcated if one wants pure Vedic essence.

This clearly indicates the nature of the ‘Self’, which is the Soul. Thus, the Soul is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

When the Soul is the ultimate truth or God why indulge in worshiping the belief individualized God, which is not God.

The Hindu belief system which came into existence after the 2nd century is nothing to do with the Vedas and Vedic religion or Santana Dharma.

The ultimate truth or Brahman is God in truth. God in truth is not the religious God we believe in and worship.

Understanding what is God is not so easy. Religious people can only imagine God based on their beliefs.

Rig Veda: ~ 'Prajnanam Brahma'- Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.

Do not accept any other God other than the Soul. The Soul is God in truth,  Nothing is real but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Nothing matters but realizing God in truth. God in truth is everywhere and in everything. Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious.

God in truth is hidden by the illusory universe. God in truth alone is real and eternal and all else is an illusion. 

Brahman is merely a word to indicate the ultimate truth of God in truth.  The ultimate truth itself is God in truth. 

Remember:~ 

Vedic God is Atman. God is the Soul, the innermost ‘Self’. God becomes the universe in waking and the universe becomes God in deep sleep. The universe is nothing but an illusion created by consciousness, which is God in truth.

When you realize the ‘Self’ is not but the ‘‘Self’’ is the Soul, God then there is no second thing that exists other than the God, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Advaitic truth is very easy but it is most difficult to assimilate because of the inherited beliefs and accumulated knowledge.

Without dropping all the inherited beliefs and accumulated knowledge which is based on the illusory form, time, and space it is difficult to understand and assimilate the knowledge of the formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

If you have the courage of Bhagavan Buddha, who dropped religion, Vedas, and the concept of God then only you are fit to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

That is why Sage Sankara:~ VC~.61- For one who has been bitten by the serpent of Ignorance, the only remedy is the knowledge of Brahman. Of what avail are the Vedas and (other) Scriptures, Mantras (sacred formulae), and medicines to such a one?

VC- v6~ Let erudite scholars quote all the scripture, let Gods be invoked through sacrifices, let elaborate rituals be performed, let personal Gods be propitiated---yet, without the realization of one‘s identity With the ‘‘Self’’, there shall be no liberation for the individual, not even in the lifetimes of a hundred Brahmas put together

Sage Sankara says: ~A sickness of not cured by saying the word “medicine.” You must take the medicine. Liberation does not come by merely saying the word “Brahman.” Brahman must be experienced. Until you allow this apparent universe to dissolve from your consciousness until you have realized Brahman, how can you find liberation just by saying the word Brahman? The result is merely noise. Until a man has destroyed his enemies and taken possession of the splendor and wealth of the kingdom, he cannot become a king by simply saying “I am a king.”

A buried treasure is not uncovered by merely uttering the words: “Come forth.” You must follow the right directions, dig, remove the stones and earth from above it, and then make it your own. In the same way, the pure truth of the Atman, which is buried under Maya and the effects of Maya, can be reached by meditation, contemplation, and other spiritual disciplines but never by subtle arguments.

Only when you realize God in truth you will realize the universe is nothing but God because the universe is an illusion created out of consciousness, which is God in truth.

Remember:~

Advaita is the Science of the Soul, which is the ultimate truth or Brahman. Sage Sankara’s wisdom is the universal truth and ultimate truth par excellence.

Advaita does not belong to any particular religion. It is not philosophy but Advaita is the truth of our true existence.

Advaita is the Science of Truth; the Atmic path is the path of spiritual liberation par excellence, wide and deep as the ocean which contains virtually all the water of the world and in which all particular forms ultimately dissolve.

Advaita is the Science of the Soul, which is the ultimate truth or Brahman. Sage Sankara’s wisdom is the universal truth and ultimate truth par excellence.

The Advaita is the Soul ~ the One without A Second

Advaita is the nature of the Soul. The Advaita is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness itself. The Advaita is the spiritual heart. The Advaita is Self-evident. It is not established by extraneous proof. It is not possible to deny the Advaita because It is the very essence of the one who denies It. The Advaita is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs.

Advaita is present in the form of consciousness, the ultimate truth, or Brahman. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara is nothing to do with religion and yoga and any philosophy.+

The seeker must realize the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara is nothing to do with religion and yoga and any philosophy.

Gurus and yogis belong to religion and yoga. There is no need for a Guru to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

If you are seeking truth then you have to bifurcate religion and yoga and philosophy from Advaitic wisdom. Advaitic wisdom is nothing to do with religion and yoga and philosophy.

People assume Guru or Godmen are great because other people say so, or that he is wise because he, himself says so, or that what he teaches is true because it attracts them. Such an attitude and easy assumptions become an obstacle to unfolding the truth and it requires some trouble to put into effect.

Remember:~

Swami Vivekananda: ~ Worship your Guru as God, but do not obey him blindly; love him all you will, but think for yourself. No blind belief can save you, work out your own salvation.

The Gurudom may succeed to a limited extent in the West by appealing to the emotions of western people by creating a new cult with diverse theories of Hinduism. The ultimate truth is beyond religion, yoga, and scriptures.

Devotion to the physical Guru will not yield Advaitic Gnana because you and your physical gurus are part and parcel of the dualistic illusion. You have to transcend the dualistic illusion by getting rid of ignorance through Advaitic Gnana. Advaitic Gnana comes only through a perfect understanding of ‘what is what.

That is why Swami Vivekananda said: ~ “You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, and none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher, but the Soul.”

Yogis and Guru are not Gods.

This idea of worshiping Guru as God is not a Vedic idea but adopted from Jainism and Buddhism.

Vedas bar human worship: ~

Yajurveda:~

"They are enveloped in darkness, in other words, are steeped in ignorance and sunk in the greatest depths of misery who worship the uncreated, eternal prakrti -- the material cause of the world -- in place of the All-pervading God, But those who worship visible things born of the prakrti, such as the earth, trees, bodies (human and the like) in place of God are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time.":~ (Yajurveda 40:9.)

Then why worship and glorify the Gurus and Yogis (human form) in place of God when Veda bars such activities and also warns people who indulge in such activities are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time.

If you are trading the Atmic path then remember: ~

Sage Sankara says: ~ There is no need to study the Scriptures to realize the ultimate truth or Brahma

~ then why do you indulge in studying the scriptures.

Sage Sankara says: ~ There is no need to study philosophy to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman

~then why do you indulge in studying philosophy.

Sage Sankara says: ~ There is no need to indulge in rituals to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

~then why do you indulge in rituals.

Sage Sankara says: ~ There is no need to indulge in yoga to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman

~then why do you indulge in yoga.

Sage Sankara says the transparent Truth of the Self, which is hidden by the illusion, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman, (Gnani)

~ then why you are sticking a Guru who is not a Gnani.

Sage Sankara says: ~ “The exercise in discrimination between real and unreal and renunciation of the false leads to truth realization.

Atman is Brahman. The Atman is the Self is non-dual because there is no second thing that exists other than the Atman. Atman is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is the only true reality, and everything else, which appears as form, time, and space is merely an illusion. :~ Santthosh Kumaar

God is merely a word used by the religion that believed there is a higher power that is the cause of the creation.+

God is merely a word used by the religion that believed there is a higher power that is the cause of creation.  

Different religions used different words for the same thing. The idea depends on the man’s imagination. God is an English word. Different languages used different words for the same thing. 

The words are there for only communication purposes. Sages of truth called the ultimate truth as Brahman or God in truth. 

The earliest uses of the word God in Germanic writing are often cited to be in the Gothic Bible or Wulfila Bible, which is the Christian Bible as translated by Wulfila (a.k.a. Bishop Ulfilas) into the Gothic language spoken by the Eastern Germanic, or Gothic Tribes. The oldest part of the Gothic Bible, contained in the Codex Argenteus, is estimated to be from the fourth century. During the fourth century, the Goths were converted to Christianity, largely through the efforts of Bishop Ulfilas, who translated the Bible into the Gothic language in Nicopolis ad Istrum in today's northern Bulgaria. The words guda and guþ were used for God in the Gothic Bible.~wiki 

Yajurveda – chapter- 32:~ God is Supreme Spirit. 

Bible says: ~ “God is a Spirit, and they that worship God must worship God 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. 

There is no God but God. There is no God because the world in which we exist is merely an illusion created out of God, the Spirit. Call it by any name God is universal. God belongs to the whole of humanity. 

Religion creates separation God is unity in diversity. God is one which the cause of the whole world in which humanity exists. there is no God but God means the world in which we exist is an illusion the GOD is the cause of the world and is real and eternal. God alone is real and all else is an illusion. There is a second thing that exists other than the Spirit, God thus, God is Advaita. 

Religion belongs to you. The religious Gods based on blind faith or blind belief belong to you. 

All religious code of conduct belongs to you. Religion belongs to you. But remember you belong to the falsehood because the world in which you exist is created out of the Spirit, the God, which is present in the form of the Soul. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. 

God in truth is divine, only held in the bondage of ignorance (matter); perfection will be reached when this bond will burst, and the word they use for it is, therefore, freedom, freedom from the bonds of imperfection, freedom from ignorance. 

Realize God in truth. 

Religious Gods are based on blind faith or blind beliefs. Belief is not God. Religious God cannot be considered as the center because the Soul the ‘Self’ is the center of all that exists. 

Without the Soul the world in which you exist ceases to exist, which means the religious God is dependent on the Soul for his existence. God in truth is only the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. 

Even Bhagavad Gita says: ~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham ~ Brahman (God in truth) 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. 

Even Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God) is present in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself. 

Religious Gods are mere beliefs. Religious God cannot be considered as the center because the Soul the innermost ‘Self’ is the center of all that exists. Without the Soul the world in which you exist ceases to exist, which means the religious God is dependent on the Soul for his existence. 

Rig Veda: ~ 'Prajnanam Brahma'- Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth. 

God in truth is the Atman, the Self. Atman is present in the form of consciousness. 

Do not accept any other God other than Atman not worship other than Atman. 

Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious. 

Nothing is real but God. Nothing Matters but love for God in truth. God in truth is everywhere and in everything. 

God in truth is hidden by the illusory universe. God in truth alone is and all else is an illusion.

Even 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) 

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: "He who worships the deities as entities entirely separate from him does not know the truth. For the Gods, he is like a pasu (beast)". (1. 4. 10) 

All these experiences as a father, son, guru, pupil, and the world were one and the same consciousness appearing differently. All these distinctions disappear when one realizes the ultimate truth or Brahman or God. : ~Santthosh Kumaar  

All holy mountains, holy rivers, holy pilgrimages, and holy men are part and parcel of the illusory universe or Maya.+

All holy mountains, holy rivers, holy pilgrimages, and holy men are part and parcel of the illusory universe or Maya.

Worshipping anything that belongs to the illusory universe (matter) is barred by Vedas.

Yajurveda says if you worship what is not God in truth: ~

Yajurveda: ~

Translation 1.

They enter darkness, those who worship natural things (for example air, water, sun, moon, animals, fire, stone, etc).

They sink deeper into the darkness than those who worship sambhuti. (Sambhuti means created things, for example, table, chair, idol, etc.) (Yajurveda 40:9)

Translation 2.

"Deep into the shade of blinding gloom fall asambhuti's worshippers. They sink to darkness deeper yet who on sambhuti is intent." (Yajurveda Samhita by Ralph T. H. Giffith pg 538)

Translation 3.

"They are enveloped in darkness, in other words, are steeped in ignorance and sunk in the greatest depths of misery who worship the uncreated, eternal Prakriti -- the material cause of the world -- in place of the All-pervading God, But those who worship visible things born of the Prakriti, such as the earth, trees, bodies (human and the like) in place of God are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow and suffer terribly for a long time." (Yajur Veda 40:9.)

Rig Veda: ~ 'Prajnanam Brahma'- Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.

Do not accept any other God other than the Soul. The Soul is God in truth, Nothing is real but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Nothing matters but realizing God in truth. God in truth is everywhere and in everything. Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious.

God in truth is hidden by the illusory universe. God in truth alone is real and eternal and all else is an illusion.

Brahman is merely a word to indicate the ultimate truth or God in truth. The ultimate truth itself is God in truth.

Remember:~

Sage Sankara: ~ “VC~ All this universe which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Brahman (Consciousness) which is absolutely free from all the limitations of Maya.

Sage Sankara: ~ VC~.63: "Without knowing and examining the universe, one can’t know the Truth, as the idea that the external world exists, won't go. It can go only by an inquiry into the nature of the external world.

Sage Sankara says: ~ “What is accepted without a proper inquiry will not lead a person to the final goal. On the contrary, such acceptance will result only in evil, something which is detrimental to our spiritual progress.

Sage Sankara says: - VC-47 All the effects of ignorance, root, and branch, are burnt down by the fire of knowledge, which arises from discrimination between these two—the Self and the non-Self.

Until you think you are an individual separate from the world and the world existed prior to you and you are born in it afterward ignorance will prevail as a reality. Till ignorance is there the universe prevails as reality.

Sage Sankara says: ~ “The exercise in discrimination between real and unreal and renunciation of the false is real worship, then why you are indulging in other types of worship.:~Santthosh Kumaar
