Without their religious scriptures, holy books, and gods based on blind faith blind belief, religion ceases to exist.+

You are being conditioned by the religious myth which has made you a non-thinker. Come out of the religious myth by realizing God in truth. 

Religion is regarded as sacred and real by the common people, by the wise as false, and by the politicians as useful.

The religion injects false beliefs as reality and makes hallucinate with its dogmas. Religion is always successful in brainwashing its followers with its imaginary ideas of ‘what happens after death, which nobody can deny it. And also, if any religious head claims that he has seen God by intuition~ the religious believers never disprove it. The onus of proof is on those who make an assertion.

Religionists and mystics are required to prove; that the burden to disprove is not on their critics.

Why have there been so many conflicting religions, or so many divisions and subdivisions of religion, if it is true

The truth does not come from religion. Religions are not based on truth but on blind faith or blind belief.

Blind faith or belief is not the truth. The dualistic knowledge does not count for anything.

Perfection comes through Self-realization. Self-realization is possible only through perfect understanding and assimilation of ‘what is what’.

Religion is based on blind faith or blind belief. But in pursuit of truth, doubt is the main ingredient.

The ultimate truth is not dependent on any books or any religion or belief of God or religious rituals.

All religions are dependent on their religious scriptures or holy books and their Gods based on blind belief.

 Without their religious scriptures, holy books, and gods based on blind faith blind belief, religion ceases to exist.

Religion holds its scriptures and holy books as proof. The truth is hidden by the universe in which we exist. No books or Guru can help us to find the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

Religious truth is limited by form, time, and space whereas the ultimate truth is formless, timeless and spaceless existence. Thus, religious truth is nothing to do with the ultimate truth.

Even without the scriptures and holy books, we can get the truth of the whole, which is beyond the form, time, and space. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is not had by resorting to a Guru nor by the study of scripture, nor by good deeds, it is attained only by means of inquiry and reasoning inspired by words of wisdom of Gnanis.

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 person who is following the path of wisdom has to discard all his religious and traditional background. Religion, religious Gods and yoga, and mysticism are nothing to do with the path of wisdom or the Atmic Path.

The path of yoga and path of devotion is the lower steps meant for the innocent people who are incapable of grasping the truth which is beyond the experience of birth, life, death, and the world. There are still higher steps.

As per the scriptures, the three "Ashrams" or stages in life were originally intended for three grades of intelligence thus:~

v Religion:- Low intellects had to do 'karmas' works, ritual actions, chanting of mantras and indulging in bhajans and prayers, etc.

v Middle intellects:- Yoga: taking yellow robes, going to caves and ashrams, etc.

v High intellects:- Wisdom who wanted truth is concerned with no external rites or sanyasa but depends solely on the intelligent inquiry for their path.

People have been misguided because of their inherited religious conditioning. The path of wisdom leads to a truth beyond the experience of birth, life, death, and the world

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

Religion, religious Gods, religious rituals, karma, sin, heaven, and hell are based on blind belief, not God in truth.

Religion belongs to the dualistic illusion. From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the duality is merely an illusion. Therefore, whatever belongs to the dualistic illusion is bound to be an illusion.

Dualistic knowledge is not Self-knowledge or Burma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

The dualistic knowledge is based on practical life, the practical world, and religion and religious beliefs.

From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the duality is merely an illusion.

The illusion is present in the form of the universe in which we exist. Thus, whatever knowledge we accumulated from the dualistic perspective is illusory knowledge based on the false self (ego or you).

Only when you realize the whole universe is created out of a single clay and that single clay is consciousness, which is the ultimate truth or God in truth. Other than Consciousness everything else is an illusion.

The illusion is dualistic because consciousness is identified as many whereas consciousness alone is real and eternal because it is ever nondual. :~Santthosh Kumaar
