Religion is not Spirituality. Spirituality is based on the Soul, which is present in the form of the Spirit.
One must go beyond form, time, and space. The theistic tradition has been kept alive by the orthodoxy. The orthodoxy is the path of ignorance because it is based on ignorance.
The orthodoxy has nothing to do with the ultimate truth or Brahman. Thus, it is not the path of ultimate truth or Brahman.
People who stick to orthodoxy will never be able to cross the prison of duality. Without crossing the prison of duality, Self-awareness is an impossibility. Thus, Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana is necessary to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman.
Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is the highest wisdom. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is the Advaitic Gnana. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana, leads to self-awareness.
In Self-awareness, there is no second other than the soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Orthodoxy is the path of ignorance. And ignorant worship mechanically performs the prescribed sacrifices without any thought as to why they are doing them.
That is why the Ish Upanishads says: - such people, no wonder they grope in the dark. They are doomed unless someday the truth dawns on them that to save themselves, they must seek Self-knowledge.
And also, it says:~ Worse, however, is the situation of those who worship vidya. The word Vidya ¸ usually means "knowledge, but here it is used to mean "gods and goddesses. Some people worship gods and goddesses so that they may someday attain the same status. They may get their desire fulfilled, but this will only delay their liberation. That is why the Upanishad says that they will be in deeper darkness.
Religious believers are sentimentally attached to their religion, religious ideas of God, scriptures, and religious code of conduct; they will not accept anything else as truth other than their accepted truth. There is no use in discussing with such a mindset because nothing can be gained from such a discussion.
Religious believers are unfit for the Atmic path unless they drop all their accumulated knowledge.
All sect-based beliefs are dualistic and unphilosophical, nothing to do with the ultimate truth or Brahman. In spirituality, the ultimate truth is God. Sage Sri, Sankara’s wisdom has nothing to do with orthodox belief systems.
Sage Sankara: ~ VC- Let erudite scholars quote all the scripture, let Gods be invoked through sacrifices, let elaborate rituals be performed, let personal Gods be propitiated---yet, without the realization of one‘s identity with the Self, there shall be no liberation for the individual, not even in the lifetimes of a hundred Brahmas put together (verses-6)
In Spirituality, the ultimate truth is God in truth. The Atman is the ultimate truth or Brahman, or God in truth.
Sage Sankara’s wisdom has nothing to do with orthodox belief systems. Sage Sankara is the only sage who has final authority on the Advaitic truth. The Advaitic truth is rational truth and scientific truth without dogma.
The Advaitic orthodoxy is not the means to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Advaitic orthodoxy is meant for the ignorant populace that is unfit to grasp the highest truth. The Advaitic orthodoxy has nothing to do with the ultimate truth or Brahman.
All sect-based beliefs are dualistic and unphilosophical, nothing to do with the ultimate truth or Brahman. In spirituality, the ultimate truth is God.
Thus, the Advaitic orthodoxy is a sect that has nothing to do with the Advaitic wisdom of the Sage Sankara. Advaitic orthodox sect is meant for the ignorant populace.::~ Santthosh Kumaar
