"Jesus said:-"Those who seek should not stop seeking until they find.

 

Many spiritual insights of the Holy bible lead to non-dual   Self-awareness. Since one is stuck with the physicalized meaning hidden in the insights it is becomes difficult to grasp the real essence of the Bible.  

Christ means Truth. To know the truth we have to hold  Christ as our innermost self. The soul has no religion, thus the religion is for those who think Christ  is outside of their soul.    The insights in the Bible, which is in the form of parables, leads to Self-awareness or Christ consciousness or Atmic -Awareness.

Brahman –means ultimate truth. Sri, Sankara said- Atman is Brahman-, which means soul, is ultimate reality. Thus, he said world is illusion Brahman alone is real and everything is Brahman. –spiritually it means the whole experience of diversity[waking] is created out of the soul, which is  present in the form of consciousness and  sustained by consciousness  and finally dissolves as consciousness . Therefore, there is no second thing exists  other than  consciousness. Therefore,  the consciousness is ultimate truth or Brahman.  

Emptiness means-- the formless  soul or consciousness or Buddha’s nature- that is empty of duality [waking]. The naked mind is the  formless soul or Buddha. 

Thus, every religion is indicating the ultimate  truth is the soul.  Sri, Sankara says : -Atman is Brahman.  The seeker has to follows Christ, not Christianity to become one with the Christ[ ultimate truth] . 

Seeker  has to  follow Brahman not Hinduism to become one with Brahman. Seeker has to  will follow Buddha not Buddhism to get Nirvana. 

The restless minds [swine’s] will follow religion, because they are not ready yet to understand and assimilate the Self-Knowledge or Truth  [pearls]. There is no use of throwing pearls at them, because they have become fanatics about their inherited beliefs and ideas.  However, the seeking mind, which is capable of grasping, will recognize the fellow seekers and shares with the fellow seeking minds, and moves ahead towards its destination and becomes one with Christ, which is in the form of pure consciousness.  .

Jesus said:-  "Know what is in front of your face, and what is hidden from you will be disclosed to you. (THE GOSPEL OF THOMAS- Saying 5)

It means one has to know the world which confronts him confronts to realize his body and world are made of the same essence and that essence is Spirit [father].  

Sri, Sankara says: one must first know what is before him. If he cannot know that, what else can he know or understand? If he gives up the external world in his inquiry, he cannot get the whole truth.

[63. Without causing the objective universe to vanish and without knowing the truth of the Self, how is one to achieve Liberation by the mere utterance of the word Brahman? — It would result merely in an effort of speech.[ Sri, Sankara says in Viveka Chudamani ]  

"Jesus said:-"Those who seek should not stop seeking until they find. When they find, they will be disturbed. When they are disturbed, they will marvel, and will reign over all." (Gospel of Thomas 2)

"The Kingdom of God is inside you and all around you, Not in a mansion of wood and stone.  Split a piece of wood and God is there, Lift a stone and you will find God." (Gospel of Thomas)

When the seeker indulges in deeper self-search than he realizes  the fact that, the experience of birth, life, death and the world are mere illusion created out of spirit [consciousness], which is the innermost self .     

 

Meher Baba said: - give no importance to creed, dogma, caste or the performance of religious ceremonies and rites.

The only Real Existence is that of the One and only God Who is the Self in every (finite) self.

The only Real Love is the Love for this Infinity (God), which arouses an intense longing to see, know and become one with its Truth (God).

The only Real Sacrifice is that in which, in pursuance of this Love, all things—body, mind, position, welfare and even life itself—are sacrificed.

The only Real Renunciation is that which abandons, even in the midst of worldly duties, all selfish thoughts and desires.

The only Real Knowledge is the Knowledge that God is the inner dweller in good people and in so-called bad, in saint and in so-called sinner. This Knowledge requires you to help all equally as circumstances demand without expectation of reward, and when compelled to take part in a dispute, to act without the slightest trace of enmity or hatred; to try to make.

Every religionists, yogis and theorist are saying their own accepted truth, over and over again. They are merely propagating their truth, but none of them are able to establish it with certainty, which can be verified here and now, not in the next life or next world. 

That is why Sri Sankara, indicated  in Bhaja Govindam says: - [Jnana Viheena Sarva Mathena Bajathi na Muktim janma Shatena] - one without knowledge does not obtain liberation even in a hundred births, no matter which religious faith he follows.
