Worshipping God without knowing what God is supposed to be in actuality is not of any use. Remember, the religious God worshiped by you is not the real God according to your own scriptures.
First, realize what God is supposed to be in truth. Being ignorant of the truth is being ignorant of God in truth.
Bhagavad Gita Chapter:~ All those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires, they worship many Gods. (7- Verse -20)
Even the 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 in truth) is present in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.
Religious Gods are based on blihd faith or blind belief. Religious God cannot be considered as the cgause of the universe because the Soul and the ‘Self’ is the cause of the universe. 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.
Yajur Veda – chapter- 32:~ God is Supreme Spirit, has no ‘Pratima’ (idol) or material shape. God cannot be seen directly by anyone. God pervades all beings and all directions.
Yajurveda: ~ There is no image of God in truth. God in truth is unborn and eternal. (Chapter 32, Verse 3)
Yajurveda: ~ God in truth is nondual and pure."
Yajurveda: ~ "They are entering darkness, those who worship the natural things (like air, water, fire, etc.), they are sinking more in darkness who worship created things." (Chapter 40, Verse 9)
Thus, Idolatry does not find any support in the Vedas.
Rig Veda: ~ 'Prajnanam Brahma'- Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.
The 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)
Kena Upanishad (6) Chapter I: ~ “That which cannot be apprehended by the mind, but by which, they say, the mind is apprehended -That alone known as Brahman, and not that which people here worship.
Kena Upanishad (7) Chapter I:~ That which cannot be perceived by the eye, but by which the eye is perceived-That alone is known as Brahman and not that which people here worship.
Kena Upanishad (8) Chapter I:~ That which cannot he heard by the ear, but by which the hearing is perceived-That alone known as Brahman and not that which people here worship.
Kena Upanishad (9)- Chapter I:~ That which cannot be smelt by the breath, but by which the breath smells an object- That alone know as Brahman, and not that which people here worship.
Chandogya Upanishad:~ “sarvam khalvidam brahma - All this (universe) is verily Brahman. By following back all of the relative appearances in the world, we eventually return to that from which it is all manifest – the non-dual reality.
It is no use going a roundabout way, tracing the Brahman (God) which is the formless substance and witness of the universe, which is in the form of mind.
By tracing the source of the mind or universe one will be able to realize the Brahman (God). : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
