Rig Veda :~May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman.+



Kabir says: ~   instead of finding fault and maligning others dive deep in your own self. Amazingly an honest introspection will reveal that all fault lies with  " Me " and " My "own perceptions and attitudes. If there is any evil or crookedness it is in  " Me".Correcting this and changing to a loving and compassionate attitude will change one's perception and then the world will appear wonderful all over again.

Rig-Veda 1-164-46 and Y.V 32-1 clearly mention that God is “One”.

The famous peace invocation of Isa Upanishad says: ~  Om Purna- madah, purna-midam purnat-purnam-udacyate  Purnaysa purna-madaya purna-meva-vasisyate

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.

Rig Veda:~ The Atman is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman the innermost self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman  nor worship other than the Atman ?" ( 10:48, 5)

Yajur Veda also says:~  God has no image and His name is Holy.  (32.3)”

Mythreyi Upanishad 2:26 says:~  All those who desire to have salvation without taking several births, should worship God in spirit and truth.  

Bhagavad Gita says: ~ “Don't unsettle the minds of the ignorant by revealing the esoteric truth."

Bhagavad Gita:~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham Brahman (God)  is considered the all-pervading consciousness which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material(Gita 14.27)

The Upanishads say in effect that: ~ 'If you believe that you are one and God  (Brahman) is another you cannot understand Truth.

Brihad Upanishad: ~ “If you think there is another entity, whether man or God there is no truth."

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.

The Bhagavad Gita says:~  Among thousands of men, scarcely one strives for perfection, and of those who strive and succeed, scarcely one knows the 'Self'  in truth.

Meher Baba said:~  God is your innermost self. Do not search for God outside of you.  Let these words be inscribed in your heart. Nothing is real but God. Nothing Matters but love for God. God is everywhere and does everything. God is beyond us and is everything. God alone is and all else is an illusion.

Santthosh Kumaar: ~ To know what is God we must know what the  Self is. In deeper self-search, we become aware of the fact that our body, ego, and our experience of the universe are created out of single stuff, which is consciousness or the Soul.  Due to ignorance, we identify the Soul with the body and we become egocentric.  When we become aware of the fact that, the Self is not the form but the Self is formless then we become Soul-centric and realize the fact that all the three states are merely an illusion created out of consciousness.  Thus, consciousness is the ultimate truth. The consciousness is our innermost self.    The ultimate truth is God or Brahman in truth.    

Thus, we have to share and interact with fellow seekers and move ahead and reach the nondual destination through this mental (inner) journey.

Lord Krishna himself says that he can do nothing to make a man intelligent straight away. The adepts give Prasad, blessing, initiations, mantras, etc. only to confer temporary peace of mind, to help one to get rid of worries, but not to confer Gnana. The capacity to receive it must first be inborn in man by evolutionary degree.

God is not a Christian; God is not a Jew, a Muslim, a Hindu, or a Buddhist. All of the belief systems are mere beliefs based on the false self (ego) within the false experience. 

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is required to unfold the mystery of God no belief system defines God, Spirituality only points one to God.”

Swami Vivekananda: ~ Creeds and sects have their parts to play, but they are for children, they last but temporarily. Books never make religions, but religions make books. We must never forget that. No book ever created God, but God inspired all the great books. And no book ever created a Soul. We must never forget that. The talk was given at Unity Hall, Hartford (Connecticut), USA, on March 8, 1895, as reported in "Hartford Times" (March 11, 1895). Complete Works, 1.324.

Swami Vivekananda:~ If religion and life depend upon books or upon the existence of any prophet whatsoever, then perish all religion and books! Religion is in us. No books or teachers can do more than help us to find it, and even without them, we can get all truth within. You have the gratitude for books and teachers without bondage to them, and worship your Guru as God, but do not obey him blindly; love him all you will, but think for yourself. No blind belief can save you, work out your own salvation. Have only one idea of God - that He is an eternal help.:~Santthosh Kumaar
