ll the religious Gods with form and attributes cease to exist without the universe, which is a dualistic illusion or Maya.+
Sage Sankara said: ~ Talk as much philosophy as you like, worship as many Gods as you please, observe ceremonies, and sing devotional hymns, but the liberation will never come, even after a hundred aeons, without realizing the Oneness.
No religious God can exist apart from the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
People are not aware that there is no individual God can exist, apart from the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
The invisible Soul is the Self. If there is no Soul, then there is no body, no ego, no world in which you exist, no religion, and no religious Gods.
People think that there must be a creator of this universe. If one thinks the Self is ‘I’, then there is a creator, but if one thinks the Self is the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, then there is nothing that exists other than consciousness.
If one objectifies and sees a universe, then he is bound to see many things besides himself and postulate a God, the creator.
You, your body, and the world in which you exist rise and set together from and into the invisible Soul or consciousness.
If God is apart from the invisible Soul, the Self, then God would be selfless, that is, outside existence, that is, non-existent.
No one has seen God creating the world. No one can claim that it was the first Knower of the first created things. How was that first ‘known’ substance generated?
There has to be at the very beginning of the creation someone or other who was the very first knower of the creation. There cannot be something ‘known’ in the absence of a ‘knower.’
If at all, we said that there was a ‘Seen’ or ‘known’ substance produced at the beginning of creation, you may legitimately question us about its origin. But that has never been our argument. We are consistent in our assertion that there has been no legitimate cause behind anything ‘seen’ at the beginning of creation or even later on at any time. Hence, there is no thing ‘seen.’ Because there has been no thing seen, consciousness is forever without bondage. Consciousness cannot be captured in words.
How did the “I” originate?
How did the world originate?
How does one know that he exists in this world?
There was no cause for the universe even at the very start. So nothing ever is really born. The entire universe is only an illusion. The universe in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.
What exists is the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness only. Consciousness cannot be expressed in words because it is the existence itself. It is eternal, self-effulgent, and unblemished.
The illusion has no value. The universe is the illusory nature of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Mentally reduce the universe into consciousness by realizing the universe is nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness.
There is no reason behind the illusion! From the ultimate standpoint, there is no illusion at all! Everything is nothing but consciousness.
You are still going to attempt to establish a sequence of cause-and-effect relationships. There has to be a touchstone that can establish the correctness or otherwise of the sequence of causes and effects. If we examine based on that yardstick, the causes will evaporate.
For example, a doubt is a cause for a question. The cause for the doubt is ignorance. If we can get rid of the ignorance, there is no scope for doubt and the later questions.
So go on, find answers to your doubts on your own. When all the questions are resolved, you will automatically land in and be at ease as the consciousness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
