Holding belief as God is holding illusion as reality, because the belief is possible only within the realm of duality

 God is not belief. Holding belief as God is holding illusion as reality, because the belief is possible only within the realm of duality. Duality is mere illusion from the ultimate standpoint.  Without the belief of God the belief system holds no water.  Belief is not God. Belief needs the believer. Believer needs to be born in this world. If believer is born than he is part of the illusion.   Without the believer there is no belief.  The believer and his world and his belief of GOD are part of the illusion because the self is birth-less because the self is formless. The one, which is born, lives and dies, is not the self.    The innermost self is formless substance and witness of the falsehood [universe or waking or illusion], which is soul or consciousness, consciousness is ultimate truth or Brahman or Christ. 

Religion, belief in God, is an escape from realizing ultimate reality.  Belief in god and belief system blocks one's realization of ultimate truth or Brahman.

People of various walks of life believe in their inherited belief system and its idea of God. People indulge in God and guru glorification to symbolize that they are religious people. 

Religion makes one believe that, the practical life within the practical world as reality.  By believing the practical life within the practical world as reality one is bound to believe, the experience of the birth, life, death and the world as reality.  By believing in the experience of  birth, life, death and the world as reality one is accepting the false self (waking entity or ego) as true self and  the illusory  world(waking) as reality). By accepting the false self as real self and illusory world as reality, one is accepting the experience of the form, time and space as reality. By accepting the experience of the form, time and space as reality one is accepting   illusion or mind or universe or waking as reality. 

Religion and its idea of God make one, more and more egocentric.   Egocentricity makes one feel he is an individual separate from the world and world existed prior to him and he is born in this world afterwards.  Thus this conviction or condition or samskara is so deep rooted therefore it is impossible acquire Self-Knowledge or brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. 

Religion is tool for   giving   samskara or conditioning to be, to behave, to believe, to live according to its code of conduct, in family and society to live peacefully honestly loving the humanity with the fear of GOD.  Thus region is belief centric not truth centric.     

Religion makes one getting stuck with the reality of the practical life within the practical world. Religion is nothing to do with the Self-knowledge or brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana because it is based on the formless soul, which is the innermost self, whereas religion is based on the form or waking entity (ego).   Therefore mixing religion with spirituality or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana and trying to realize the truth is like trying to find snow in the desert.     

The one who thinks religion and yogic path is for moksha or nirvana escapes from realizing the fact that, the self is neither waking entity nor the self is dream entity but the self is formless witness of the three states.   Therefore, one has to realize the existence of the three states, which is apart from the three states.    The waking entity (ego) or waking world (mind or universe) is nothing to do with soul or consciousness, which is the innermost self and it is ever free from experience of form, time and space. 

Every religionists, yogis and theorist (ignorant) 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. 

In dualistic philosophies the imaginary god is made as creator basing on cause and effect theory. Then the doubt natural arises, who is the cause of the creator. The creator is dependent on creation for his existence.  Without the creation the creator ceases to exist. Thus the dualistic theory holds no water, because it is based on mere imagination and speculation, which they try to prove it on citing the mythological stories and doctrine of code of conducts. When the self is not the body then all these dualistic ideologies hold no water.   Therefore the devotional paths, which are based on the human conducts, are not the means for : TRUTH–REALIZATION OR SELF-REALIZATION.

SELF-REALIZATION IS TRUTH REALIZATION . TRUTH REALIZATION  IS GOD REALIZATION.
