The ultimate truth or Brahman is God in truth. God in truth is not the religious God that people believe in and worship.
Sage Sankara says: ~ Atman is Brahman. Thus, the Soul the ‘Self’ is God. Therefore, all the Gods with form and attributes are merely 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.
Knowledge of God is Advaita because God is Advaita, the one without the second.
Understanding what is God in truth is not so easy. Religious people can only imagine God based on their inherited blind beliefs. All the blind belief-based Gods with form and attribute can exist within the domain of form, time, and space.
From, the ultimate standpoint form, time, and space are an illusion. From the ultimate standpoint Soul alone exists. The Soul is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
God in truth is the Soul, the Self. God in truth becomes the universe (duality) in waking and the universe becomes God in truth in deep sleep (nonduality).
The universe is nothing but an illusion created out of Consciousness, which is God in truth. When you realize the ‘Self’ is not you but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, then there is no second thing that exists other than God in truth, which is present in the form of Consciousness.
Only when you realize God in truth you will realize the universe is nothing but God in truth because the universe is an illusion created out of consciousness., which is God in truth.
That is why 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.
Lord Krishna himself says that he can do nothing to make a man intelligent straight away. The adepts give Prasad, blessings, initiations, mantrams, etc. only to confer temporary peace of mind, to help one to get rid of worries, but not to confer Gnana. The capacity to receive it must first be inborn in man by evolutionary degree.
Bhagavad Gita: ~ ‘Brahmano hi pratisthaham’ ~ Brahman is considered the all-pervading consciousness which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. ( 14.27)
There is no other God exists other than God, the Spirit, 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)
Even Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God) is present in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.
Yajurveda – chapter- 32: ~ God is Supreme Spirit has no ‘Pratima’ (idol) or material shape. He cannot be seen directly by anyone. He pervades all beings and all directions. Thus, Idolatry does not find any support from the Vedas.
Rig Veda: ~ 'Prajnanam Brahma'- Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.
Vedas and Upanishads confirm the Soul, the Self, is present in the form of the Spirit or consciousness.
Rig Veda 1/164/46: ~ “They call him Indra, Mitra, Varuna, Agni, or the heavenly sunbird Garutmat. The seers call in many ways that which is One; they speak of Agni, Yama, Matarishvan.
Rig Veda 8/58/2: Only One is the Fire, enkindled in numerous ways; only One is the Sun, pervading this whole universe; only One is the Dawn, illuminating all things. In very truth, the One has become the whole world
The 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 is.
When the Upanishad says: the human goal is to acquire ‘Self’-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana and they indicate the personal Gods, scriptures, worship, and rituals are not the means to ‘Self’ –Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana, then why anyone should indulge in it.
Realize right now right here the Soul, the Spirit is God. There is nothing to realize other than realizing the Self is not you but the ‘Self is the God the Spirit, which is present in the form of consciousness. Knowledge of God IN TRUTH is Advaita because God is Advaita, the one without the second. :~Santthosh Kumaar
