God in truth is not the religious God that people believe and worship.+

The ultimate truth or Brahman is God in truth. Advaitic truth is the ultimate truth. God in truth is not the religious God that people believe and worship.

Kena Upanishad (6) Chapter I: ~ “That which cannot be apprehended by the mind, but by which, they say, the mind is apprehended-That alone know as Brahman(God), 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 (God), and not that which people here worship

Kena Upanishad (8) Chapter I:~ That which cannot be heard by the ear, but by which the hearing is perceived- That alone is known as Brahman(God), 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 is known as Brahman(God), and not that which people here worship.

Remember:~

Katha Upanishad 1:3:6: ~ “Through the knowledge of the Soul, God, one is pure and clean constantly.” Neither by reading the books nor by taking a bath at the holy place has one become pure. Inner purity is possible when one remains in constant touch with the Soul. Constant Soul-Consciousness is real purity.

Kena Upanishad 2:4:~ When it is known through every state of cognition, it is rightly known, for (by such knowledge) one attains life eternal. Through one's own self, one gains power, and through wisdom, one gains immortality.

Kena Upanishad 2:5:~ If here one knows it, then there is the truth, and if here one knows it not, there is a great loss. Hence, seeing the Real in all beings, wise men become immortal on departing from this world.

Sage Sankara says: ~ Atman is Brahman. Thus, the invisible Soul, the Self, is God in truth. Therefore, all the Gods with form and attributes are merely imagination 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.

Realizing what God 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 attributes can exist within the domain of the illusory form, time, and space.

From, ultimate standpoint point, the form, time, and space are an illusion. From the ultimate standpoint, the invisible and unborn Soul alone exists. The invisible Soul is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

God in truth is the invisible 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 God in truth.

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

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

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, and 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.

That is why Lord Krishna says Ch ~V: ~ “Those who know me 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, blessing, 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 (God in truth) 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 that exists other than God, which is the Spirit. The Spirit 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 the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God in truth) is present in the form of the Atman, and it is indeed the Atman itself.

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

Vedas and Upanishad confirm the Soul, the Self, is present in the form of the Spirit or consciousness.

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.

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 should anyone 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 invisible Spirit, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Knowledge of God is Advaita because God is Advaita, the one without the second. Realize right now, right here, the Soul, the Spirit, is God in truth. Knowledge of God is Advaita because God is Advaita, the one without the second. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
