The invisiblle Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate reality; the rest is all an illusion.+

First, realize the Self is not you, but the Self is the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Mentally hold on to the Soul and mentally reduce the world in which you exist as consciousness by realizing the world in which you exist is nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness. Consciousness is the ultimate truth of Brahman or God in truth.

The invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is God in truth; the rest is an illusion.

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 (Gita 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.

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

The real God is stolen by ignorance, and people worship ignorance as God because the religion propagates a false God as the real God.

Swami Vivekananda: ~ “The masses in India cry to sixty million Gods, and still die like dogs. Where are these Gods? (In San Francisco, on May 28, 1900, of swami Vivekananda/volume 1)

Religion breeds superstition because religion is based on blind belief. Whatever is based on blind belief is superstition.

God in truth is not belief. One must know God in truth. Without knowing what God is supposed to be in actuality, worshiping God based on blind belief is superstition.

Worshipping superstitious Gods barred by the Vedas. Know what God is supposed to be according to the Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, and the Bible.

The Bible says: ~ God is a Spirit, and they that worship him must worship him 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 invisible Soul, the Self.

The invisible Soul is present in the form of Spirit or 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.

Swami Vivekananda: ~ “If superstition enters, the brain is gone. Superstition is our great enemy, but bigotry is worse.

Yajurveda – chapter- 32:~ God Supreme or Supreme Spirit has no ‘Pratima’ (idol) or material shape. God cannot be seen directly by anyone. God pervades all beings and all directions.

Thus, Idolatry does not find any support from the Vedas.

Rig Veda: ~ The Atman (Soul or Spirit) 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)

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God in truth) is the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.

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 in truth), 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 he 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 in truth), and not that which people here worship.

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.

God in truth is hidden by the ‘I’. The ‘I’ is the dualistic illusion. You are part and parcel of the dualistic illusion. The invisible Soul is the cause of the dualistic illusion, but itself is uncaused. The dualistic illusion is present in the form of form, time, and space.

The form, time, and space are present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality).

Your existence is limited to the illusory form, time, and space. The form, time, and space are made of the same clay. That clay is the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Knowledge of the single clay is Self–knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Self–knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana helps the seeker to unfold the truth (God) hidden by the ‘I’, which is the dualistic illusion.

You must draw your attention back every time it turns to worldliness (I) and fix it in the invisible Soul, the Brahman, or God in truth. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
