The Vedas exclaim from time immemorial Existence is One.+
The, Vedas exclaim from time immemorial, Ekam Sat Vipra Bahudha Vadanti, Existence is One, Sages call it by different Names Rig Veda, 1-164-146.
God, Brahman, Allah, Ishvara, Jehovah, Ahuramazda, etc., are one. God is the invisible Soul, the Self. The Soul is the Supreme Being the One eternal homogeneous essence, indivisible consciousness and intelligence, which is beyond form, time, and space. The Sages describe in a variety of ways through diverse words.
The invisible Soul is the Self. Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman. In the beginning, consciousness, which is One without a second alone existed.
When darkness was rolling over darkness, there was Existence only. Nobody knows how this universe came into being.
You will find in Rig Veda: Who knows here, who can here state whence came this entire multifarious Universe? Even the Devas are posterior to its creation, who then knows whence this came out? Rig Veda VIII-17-6.
The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness alone, exists. Consciousness appears as the universe which we cognise just as a rope appears as a serpent. Consciousness puts on the appearance of this universe in which we exist.
Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman. Consciousness is the substance and witness of the universe, which appears as waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality).
consciousness is without cause and without effect, without anything inside or outside, without defect or impurity, without length or breadth, without colour, shape or form.
Consciousness is without limbs, parts, without name or caste, without hands and legs. Consciousness is an embodiment of wisdom, peace, and awareness. Consciousness shines by itself because it is Self-luminous.
The universes in which you exist really exist in the Soul, the innermost Self. The universe comes into existence because of the Self-effulgent Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The whole universe exists within the Soul. The universe appears as external because of ignorance.
How can one describe the glory and greatness of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness? Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman.
Even the Vedas have sung in praise of the Brahman according to their limited capacity. No one has been able to find out its beginning or end.
The invisible Soul walks without feet, grasps without hands, hears without ears, sees without eyes, tastes without a tongue, smells without a nose, feels without a skin, talks without a mouth, because the invisible Soul is a mass of pure consciousness. All hands, feet, eyes, heads, faces, and the whole world are made from consciousness.
Consciousness is all-pervading. Consciousness is beyond the reach of mind and speech because it exists before form, time, and space. One cannot see the invisible Soul with these physical eyes, but one can realize the invisible Soul by getting rid of ignorance through Advaitic wisdom.
The eye cannot perceive the Soul. The ego cannot reach the invisible Soul. The gross practical man within the practical world cannot grasp the invisible Soul without an intense urge.
The speech cannot describe the Soul because it is beyond form, time, and space.
The speech cannot describe the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, in adequate terms. People are baffled in their attempts to describe the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space, because it is indescribable.
To describe the Soul is to deny the Soul. How can a finite ego grasp the Infinite? But the Soul can be directly realised by that aspirant who has rectified his reasoning base from the ego to the Soul.
Gnanis emphatically declare that Brahman or the Eternal is that which is above the undifferentiated, that which is unborn, either as cause or effect.
The Soul is not this, not that, Neti, Neti, etc. The Soul is the real unconditioned consciousness. Consciousness is the reality of realities. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
