The path of religion, the path of yoga, and the path of wisdom were intended for different classes of people. The wisdom is for the advanced seekers of truth. It deals with the nature of the ultimate Truth and Reality. It is meant for superior aspirants who have an inner urge to know the truth and it is not for those who are immersed in earthly desires.
The religious orthodox want to wage against modernity: secularism, science, reproductive rights, and the Enlightenment generally. The Orthodox mass, argues that any and all problems with the world can be attributed to the groups and ideas which they most dislike. One of the worst aspects of this attitude is how some religions latch on to any tragedy to promote their theocratic vision. Every religion argues that only their religion and their God can cure whatever ails this world.

History speaks that man has made it challenging and difficult to understand why he has experienced and witnessed such an array of human behavior. With constant introspection and the continued judgments of right and wrong, good and bad, just and unjust it has been a constant challenge to find and understand the truth behind his physical existence. This subject is super sensitive, yet if one is to continue in his pursuit of truth, then there is a need for perfect understanding and assimilation.
There is a need to stop these wars and violence, which are going on in the name of religion and God, by knowing and understanding and realizing the universal truth, which is holding the whole universe in which humanity exists. The universal truth alone is God all else is an illusion.

Religion is nothing to do with the ultimate truth of Brahman. If one is seeking the truth, then he has to be free from all the religious beliefs and dogmas. Religion is based on the ego (you), whereas, the ultimate truth is based on the Soul, the Self.
Whatever is based on the ego is an illusion and whatever is based on the Soul is the ultimate reality or Brahman. Thus, religion has to be bifurcated from spirituality to realize the truth beyond form, time, and space.
Religion can never make you know God because it propagates blind belief as God. Only an intense urge to know what God is supposed to be in truth can make you realize God.
The Soul, the ‘Self is the Infinite God.
The Soul is the Self. God is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. God is the fullness of the consciousness without the illusory division of form, time, and space. Therefore, there is nothing apart from it.
God is Self-evident. God is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny God because God is the very essence of the one who denies it. God is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs. God is within the universe in which you exist, the God is without the universe in which you exist.
The orthodox dualists and nondualist sects are nothing to do with the ultimate truth or Brahman. The Orthodox Advaita considers, birth, life, death, rebirth, heaven, hell, sin, karma, and the world of reality, whereas Sage Sankara says the world in which we exist is merely an illusion. If the world is an illusion, then birth, life, death, rebirth, heaven, hell, sin, karma, and the world, is bound to be an illusion.
Remember:~
Without Sage Sankara, there is no Advaita (non-duality). Since it was mixed up with orthodoxy there is a lot of confusion. Sage Sankara’s quotes (selected verified) are quoted in my blogs and postings to show what Sage Sankara meant and ‘what is blocking the seekers from realizing the ultimate truth or Brahman. There are so many non-dualistic masters of the east and also from the west who expound Advaitic or non-dualistic knowledge, but none of them are helpful to reach the ultimate end.
Religion is based on the false self (ego or waking entity or form) within the false experience (waking), whereas spirituality is based on the Soul, the Self. The Soul, the innermost 'Self' has no religion because it is ever formless.
It is impossible to get Self-realization via religion because the religious truth is individual truth and the individual truth is dualistic. Spiritual truth is nondualistic and universal.
A person who realized the ultimate truth or Brahman will throw off his religious robe and his religious identity and becomes Avadhuta and live as he wishes.
There is a clear-cut idea in the scriptures, of what is supposed to be God. And what not to worship in place of God then why worship the belief of God, which is not God in truth.
That is why Lord Krishna says Ch ~V: ~ “Those who know the Self 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.
Bhagavad Gita: ~ 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. (14.27)
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 Self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)
Yajurveda – chapter- 32:~ God is 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.
Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God in truth) is in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.
People, who worship the belief of God, are hallucinating that they become one with such God.
Vedas itself declares: May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman? Thus, to know the real God Self-realization is necessary. Self-realization is God-realization. Self-realization itself is real worship.
So, it clearly indicates that God is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. Thus, there is no scope for God based on form, time, and space. The religion and its conceptual Gods, and its theories of karma, heaven, hell, papa, Punya, rebirth, and reincarnation are based on the false self, within the false experience. Therefore, they are meant for lower mindsets, they are of no use for those who are seeking higher truth as indicated in the scriptures.
There are many schools of thought in Hinduism based on the Vedas. These schools of thought are add-ons. Therefore, these add-ons have to be bifurcated from the original Vedic Religion, to get the pure Vedic essence.
Religion is based on the false self (ego or waking entity or form) within the false experience (waking), whereas spirituality is based on the Soul, the Self. The Soul, the 'Self' has no religion because it is ever formless.
It is impossible to get Self-realization via religion because the religious truth is individual truth and the individual truth is dualistic. Spiritual truth is nondualistic and universal.
A person who realized the ultimate truth or Brahman will throw off his religious robe and his religious identity and becomes Avadhuta and live as he wishes.
Remember:~
The world in which you exist is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is consciousness. Knowledge of the single stuff is Advaitic wisdom.
Remember:~
Religion is nothing to do with Advaita. Advaitic sect belongs to religion. Advaita is pure spirituality. Advaitic sect is dualistic is nothing to do with the Advaitic truth which is hidden by the illusion.
Mixing religion and spirituality is like mixing oil and water.
Religion is regarded as sacred and real by the common people, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.
The religion and its sects are based on form, time, and space whereas the Spirituality is based on the Atman the formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
Religions hold birth, life, death, and the world as a reality. From the ultimate standpoint, the world in which we exist is an illusion created out he the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
The seeker must know the difference between religion and spirituality. Many people think the religion itself as spirituality.
Spirituality leads to discovering the truth which is hidden by form, time, and space.
Advaita is universal. Advaita is not for sale. Do not buy Advaita from the spiritual supermarket. Advaita is the nature of the Soul, the Self.

Advaitic truth is very simple, but it is very difficult to realize because you have accumulated mental garbage from different sources in the name of Advaita. Until you discard all the accumulated knowledge you will never be able to realize the Advaitic truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.
The Advaita is the nature of the Soul, the Self shines in its own awareness when wisdom dawns.
The Advaita is the Soul is the cause and the support of all that exists in the world in which we exist.
The Advaita is present in the form of consciousness. Advaita is the root element of the universe. From the Advaita, the universe comes into existence. In the Advaita, the universe resides. And into the Advaita, the universe is dissolved. The Advaita is the parent of all that is there. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
