It is foolish to venture to know the truth of Gods existence without verifying the facts about his own existence.

Form,time and space are mere an object to the formless subject. Form,time and space are present in the form of mind(I). Mind is present in the form of universe. Universe appears as waking or dream(duality)  and disappears as deep sleep(non-duality).  The  soul is the  formless subject. formless soul is the innermost self. The formless soul is present in the form of consciousness.  The object(mind or universe)  and subject(soul or consciousness)  are one in essence.  Without the subject there is no object.  The subject can  remain without the object as in deep sleep. The object(mind or 'I') cease to exist without the subject(soul).

The object (universe or waking) is both real and unreal. It is real because it is a manifestation of consciousness, but is unreal, in the sense, that it is not absolute and eternal like consciousness itself.

Intellectual approach is more practical, and intellectuals and dualist sages are stuck with the reality of the object( universe or waking) ,  they take it as real.

People are making unlimited sacrifices and enduring unlimited suffering in the name of protecting their religion and god. They are therefore ignorant about the truth and incapable of understanding the ultimate truth, which is universal god. All organized religions have unequivocally claimed man for the life in the truth; thus it is sheer folly to fight in the name of religion and god. 

It is time that humanity had a fresh vision of truth that the mind, which is in the form of universe, is myth and consciousness is the only thing that is real and that matters.  On the base of consciousness as self, the physical life is a vain and empty pursuit of illusory values.

Parental grooming is the main cause of religious influence upon the mass mind-set and it cannot be wiped out without knowing the truth of one’s own existence. Thus, teaching children to view and judge everything on religious point of view by their parents, which warps the minds and destroys the capacity to think beyond the belief system of their grooming.

People who are yearning for spiritual truth will not find it what they are seeking for. Religious truth is individual truth and it is not universal truth because the religion is based on individuality.  

As one goes in deeper investigation find nothing satisfying in any religion.  The more he learns of any religious doctrine they become aware of the fact that, the religion is not the means for self-realization because the true ‘Self” is not the form but the true self is formless.  The religion is based on the false self [ego] and false experience [universe]. Religion takes the false self as real self and false experience as reality. Thus whatever is based on the false self and false experience is bound to be falsehood.   

    

The obsession with "our sins" having been "washed away by water of river  would be regarded as evidence of a serious mental illness in an individual within any sane society, but when this is an obsession of millions of people it becomes "religious faith", held by many others to be something that should never be criticized.

It was desperately important for the believers of their belief system for some reason that others shared their beliefs because they assume that their religious doctrine is literally true, and then justify their beliefs because "God says so in their doctrine ".

It is no use of arguing with someone who has faith in his belief system because for him there can be no possible refutation of what he believes, so rational argument is entirely useless. He clings to his belief so strongly that he makes no distinction between the truth and his belief. One has to know the fact that god cannot exist without his existence. The truth does not depend on gods’ existence but it entirely depends on man’s existence.   Thus It is foolish to venture to  know the truth of Gods existence without verifying the facts about his own existence.  Religious God is reality within the duality. Existence of religious God depends on the form,time and space. Form,time and space are reality within the duality ,which is present in the form of universe. The universe is present in the form of waking experience.  waking experience is mere illusion from ultimate standpoint . 

Form, time and space are one in essence. That essence is consciousness. Consciousness (soul) is the innermost self.

Soul (Consciousness) is unconscious of its formless non-dual true nature in waking or dream (duality or illusion).   In Self-Awareness the Soul, the innermost self is aware of its own formless non-dual nature.  In self-awareness, the three states are one is essence.  Awareness is the nature of the soul.  The formless soul (consciousness) can remain with or without the physical awareness (mind or waking or dream).  In deep sleep it remains without the mind or waking or dream.  The one which is aware of the waking or dream and one which is unaware of the waking or dream is not the waking entity (ego) but the soul, which witnesses the coming and going of the three states.

 We have to mentally grasp the existence of the formless witness of the three states, than it becomes very easy to grasp the fact that our body and our experience of world are one is essence and that essence is consciousness, our innermost self.  

Meher Baba said: - To love God as he ought to be loved, we must love for God and die for god, knowing that the goal of life is to know God, and find him as our own self.

To realize God is to attain liberation from the bondage of illusion. 

Live only to find and realize your true identity with your beloved God.

The energy which is expended in mere thinking, taking or writing is like steam which escapes through the whistle of railway engine …

That is why the sages have always insisted on practice rather than theory. This applies particularly to those who want to know and realize God.
