The path love and humanism is not the Atmic path because love and humanism based on the matter not on the Soul, the Spirit.+

The path of love and humanism is the religious path. The path of love and humanism is not the Atmic path. The path of love and humanism is very valuable in practical life in the dualistic world.

The path of love and humanism is not the Atmic path because love and humanism are based on matter, not on the invisible Soul or the Spirit. Whatever is based on the matter is an illusion, and whatever is based on the invisible Spirit is the ultimate reality.

The Atma is God in truth, one without the second. In reality, there is no second thing that exists other than Atma, which is God in truth.

First, Mundaka - Chapter 2 (10):~ Ignorant fools, regarding sacrifices and humanitarian works as the highest, do not know any higher good. Having enjoyed their reward on the heights of heaven, gained by good works, they enter again this world or a lower one.

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ In this state, a father is no father, a mother no mother, Gods no Gods, no Vedas. In this state, a thief is no thief, the killer of a noble Brahmana no killer, a monk no monk, a hermit no hermit. This form of his is untouched by good work and untouched by evil work, for he is then beyond all the woes of his intellect. ~(4.3.22)

Many Gurus, instead of encouraging seekers to seek the truth, inject their own theories, keep them in a state of talking love and compassion, which belongs to the dualistic illusion. It is the escape mechanism and makes the seeker hopeless, helpless, and lazy to seek the truth he is seeking.

A Gnani uses love and compassion for the practical purpose, but he is fully aware that they are not of any use to realize the truth hidden by the dualistic illusion (universe).

Love and compassion are needed in practical life within the practical world. However, from the ultimate standpoint, the practical life within the practical world is merely an illusion. In Atmic reality, there is only the invisible and unborn Soul, the Self, which is one without the Second. :~Santthosh Kumaar
