God is the innermost Self or Atman

Pursuit of truth is all about accepting uncertainty and open questions and seeking for the things that are certainty. Believers and nonbelievers   will not accept anything other than their inherited belief system or accepted truth.  Atheists feel there is no proof for god’s existence. So atheist chooses to just believe there is no such thing called God. And religionists just believe in the existence of their conceptual god.  A Gnani is one who is fully aware of the fact that, the existence or non-existence of God cannot be proven on the base of physical self.  Therefore deeper understanding is necessary to understand and assimilate the truth about Gods existence to know what is supposed to be the God. 

In Vedas the God has been described as:-

  Sakshi (Witness)

  Chetan (conscious)

  Nirguna (Without form and properties).

  Nitya (eternal)

  Shuddha (pure)

  Buddha (omniscient)

   Mukta (unattached).

All this indicate the nature of Atman (soul) the innermost self.  

The innermost Self or Atman is God and God is the innermost Self or Atman.  It means the ultimate truth is god.  That is Atman is Brahman.  That is the true self is ultimate truth.
