The ultimate truth or Brahman is nothing to do with the religion, religious god, religious theories and yoga.+*****

An advanced seeker can mentally separate the illusion from reality. A seeker can figure out as he proceeds deeper, he will realize there is nothing to realize other than realizing the illusion is just a superimposition on the consciousness. The illusion is nothing but consciousness. The world in which you exist is the dualistic illusion created out single stuff. To realize this knowledge of single stuff, there is no need to for a Guru, there is no need to study scriptures, there is no need to go to the mountain, there is no need for gurus blessing or grace in order to get self-realization. If you have an intense urge and ready to drop all your accumulated knowledge and start afresh then you are fit and ready to take this mental journey. When one realizes mind (matter) and the Soul (Spirit), the Self, are one, in essence, there is no place for the duality. Without duality, the universe ceases to exist. Without the universe, your existence within the universe is merely an illusion because there is scope for two because everything is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is the consciousness or the Spirit. Till one thinks he is an individual separate from this world he remains in the realm of duality. Duality is the product of ignorance. When the Advaitic wisdom dawns, then the ignorance vanishes. When the ignorance vanishes, then the duality never remains as a reality. The path of wisdom is the Soulcentric path. Egocentric knowledge is not of any use in the path of wisdom. In the Soulcentric path, there is no scope for argument because all the arguments are based on egocentricity. The argument is useless so long as the ultimate truth is unknown, and the argument is equally useless when the ultimate truth or Brahman has already been known. The wisdom is not custom-made stuff to feed different mindset according to their like and fancy. You are the birth entity. The one, which is born, lives dies in this world is not the ‘Self’ because the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is birthless and deathless. If you are not the ‘Self’ then all the argument and understanding of the truth is based on intellectuality. .If you want to realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time and space then you have to learn to view and judge the truth on the base of the ‘Soul, which is the Self to realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space. Perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is needed. Only an intense urge to know the truth, humility sincerity and patience are the only qualifications to realize God in this very life and in this very world. Till you make sure intellectually the ‘Self’ is not within you but the ‘Self’ is hidden within the world, in which you exist and the world, in which you exist is nothing but an illusion created out of the consciousness, it is difficult to become Soulcentric. In the past, Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana was imparted only with few because Sages of truth had preserved it people were more interested in their religious beliefs. Now a day’s people are more advanced, capable of understanding assimilating and realizing the truth beyond the form, time, and space. Start your journey even you may find it difficult in the first as you go on reading the post your subconscious will start dropping the dualistic egocentric knowledge and start accepting the Soul-centric Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Remember:~

Belief makes the Soul permanently remain in ignorance.  Ignorance makes the soul experience the duality as reality. Belief implies duality. The duality is not reality.  Thus, the path of bhakti,  the path of karma and the path of yoga are based on the dualistic perspective therefore they are the path of ignorance. Therefore, the seekers who are searching for ultimate truth or Brahman have to discard all the egocentric paths to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.  

The belief of God is not God. Holding a belief as God is holding an illusion as reality because the belief is possible only within the realm of duality. Duality is merely an illusion from the ultimate standpoint.  Without the belief of God, the belief system holds no water.  Belief is not God. Belief needs a believer.  The believer needs to be born in this world. If the believer is born than he is part of the illusion.   Without the believer, there is no belief.  The believer and his world and his belief of GOD are part of the illusion because the self is birth-less because the self is formless. The one, which is born, lives and dies, is not the self.    The Soul, the Self is formless substance and witness of the falsehood (universe or waking or illusion), which is soul or consciousness, consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or Christ.  

Religion and Yoga are useful from utilitarian viewpoints, but they are inadequate and useless in the path of wisdom.  Because religion and yoga are based on the false self (ego or you) and the ultimate truth or Brahman is based on the formless Soul, the Self. The ultimate truth or Brahman is nothing to do with the religion, religious god, religious theories and yoga because the ultimate truth is beyond the experience of form, time and space.  

There is in religion the element of imagination. People think that religion which they like is the best, which gives them satisfaction, which pleases their taste is true! People who have such limited views are not fit for Nondualistic or Advaitic wisdom. A Gnani discards this limited view because he is aware of the limitlessness of the Soul, the Self.  

The question is, how one has to know that the scriptures are true? One has to look into the facts, for the proof of what has the worship of God done for the people! When calamities strike, terrorist attacks, epidemics brakes, the god is helpless in saving people. Even though, they say God saved him: Such an argument is of no value.

Swami Vivekananda:~  The masses in India cry to sixty million gods and still die like dogs. Where are these gods?

Knowing this, stand up and fight! Not one step back that is the idea. ... Fight it out, whatever comes. Let the stars move from the sphere! Let the whole world stand against us! Death means only a change of garment. What of it? Thus fight! You gain nothing by becoming cowards. ... Taking a step backward, you do not avoid any misfortune. You have cried to all the gods in the world. Has misery ceased? The masses in India cry to sixty million gods and still die like dogs. Where are these gods? ... The gods come to help you when you have succeeded. So what is the use? Die game. ... This bending the knee to superstitions, this selling yourself to your own mind does not befit you, my soul. You are infinite, deathless, birthless. Because you are infinite spirit, it does not befit you to be a slave. ... Arise! Awake! Stand up and fight! Die if you must. There is none to help you. You are the entire world. Who can help you? :~  Swami Vivekananda (Delivered In San Francisco, on May 28, 1900) -The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda/Volume 1/Lectures And Discourses/The Gita II

The ultimate truth will interest only .5% of people; the rest will follow the religion" Religion is that teaching which pleases minds which lack vigor.

The scriptures are for the ignorant masses, who wholly accept the material the world as it presents itself. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is for those who have begun to realize that things are not what they seem and the truth

The famous peace invocation of Isa Upanishad says: ~

Om Purna- madah, purna-midam purnat-purnam-udacyate Purnaysa purna-madaya purna-meva-vasisyate

This means ~ All this is full /from fullness, fullness comes when fullness is taken from fullness/ fullness still remains.

 This belief is all- comprehensive and all-absorbing. There is nothing that is not God.

This truth has been told by the seers. This is the only truth but is described by the people differently. 

 Truth is one, but the people describe it in different ways. Those on the journey to Eternity may differ,  but once reached there, all the differences sink into oneness.

The whole of humanity has to arrive at this eternal truth one day. :~Santthosh Kumaar
