Spirituality is not religion. Spirituality has nothing to do with religion and its belief-based God. It is no use in arguing with religious people who are based on their God based on blind belief, not God in truth.
Katha Upanishad says ~ Fools dwelling in darkness, but thinking themselves wise and erudite, go round and round, by various tortuous paths, like the blind led by the blind. (Ch II-5 P-14)
Jesus said: ~ “ Do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you. (Matthew -7:6)
~ Jesus meant knowledge of the Spirit of God or Self-knowledge should not be shared with unqualified people.
Bhagavad Gita: 7: 19:~ "Such a man who has attained true knowledge, the knowledge of Self, the knowledge of Atman, worships Me as~ Atman (God in truth) alone exists~ everything is Atman, there exists nothing except Atman. Such a man is extremely rare"
In Yajurveda – chapter- 32:~ God is Supreme Spirit.
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.
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 in truth is unity in diversity. God in truth is 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 God in truth is the cause of the world and is real and eternal. The God alone is real and all else is an illusion. There is the second thing that exists other than the Spirit, God thus, God is Advaita.
Religion belongs to you. The religious belief of God belongs 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 is divine, only held in the bondage of ignorance (matter); perfection will be reached when this bond bursts, and the word they use for it is, therefore, freedom, freedom from the bonds of imperfection, freedom from ignorance.
Know Consciousness is God in truth and realize God in truth.
Religious Gods are based on blind belief. God in truth is not based on blind belief. Religious God cannot be considered as the cause of the universe because the Soul the ‘Self’ is the cause of the universe.
Without the Soul the world in which you exist ceases to exist, it 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 the consciousness.
Even The 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, that 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 the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.
Religious Gods are based on blind belief. Religious God cannot be considered as the cause of the universe because the Soul the ‘Self’ is the cause of the universe. Without the Soul, the world in which you exist ceases to exist, which means the religious Gods are dependent on the Soul, the Self for their existence.
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)
The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad declares: "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 the 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 in truth).” 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 a 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. :
God in truth (Spirit) is not separate from the universe (matter) because God in truth (Spirit) and the universe (matter) are one, in essence. Without God in truth, the universes in which you exist cease to exist. God is the fullness of the Spirit.
Thus, any division in the Spirit, as the form, time, and space is merely an illusion. Thus, the universe in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the Spirit, which is God in truth.
The atheists and religious people both are believers. The atheists believe there is no such thing as God and religious people believe there is God. God based on blind belief is not the God in truth.
One must know God in truth. The truth will set the Spirit free from the illusory prison of form, time, and space.
The Spirit is not separate from and matter because Spirit and matter are one, in essence. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
