Truth is not only that which is beyond
contradiction, but also that in which is no possibility of contradiction. Such
a state can only be realized as non-duality, where there is no second thing
other than consciousness. The illustration for that is deep sleep but sleep is
not the ultimate reality. It is merely an analogy.
Brihad Upanishad declares:-, "If you
think there is another entity whether man or God there is no truth." This
is the teaching since time immemorial of those who have inquired into truth.
Consciousness alone which is permanent
and eternal, unchanging in the changing world is reality. People hear of
Brahman or ultimate truth. People can only imagine it. One requires words only
to distinguish between is there and not there, but he can’t posit either of
Reality, because his saying so is only an idea, not reality. Ultimate truth is
beyond words. Words are of use, however, as a thorn to pull out the thorn of
other words that hinder knowledge.
Intellectually knowing the truth is only
an imagination, whereas realizing the truth is knowing it as such.
Thus orthodoxy
which misleads the seekers of truth, therefore seeker of truth has to verify the
truth on his own by reason based on the consciousness as self then only accept
the un-contradictable truth.
And also in Yajurved says:
Translation 1.
They enter darkness, those who worship natural things (for example air, water, sun, moon, animals, fire, stone, etc).
They sink deeper in darkness those who worship sambhuti. (Sambhuti means created things, for example table, chair, idol etc.)
[Yajurved 40:9]
Translation 2.
"Deep into
shade of blinding gloom fall asambhuti's worshippers. They sink to darkness
deeper yet who on sambhuti are intent."
[Yajurveda
Samhita by Ralph T. H. Giffith pg 538]
Translation 3.
"They are enveloped in darkness, in other words, are steeped in ignorance and sunk in the greatest depths of misery who worship the uncreated, eternal prakrti -- the material cause of the world -- in place of the All-pervading God, But those who worship visible things born of the prakrti, such as the earth, trees, bodies (human and the like) in place of God are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time."
[Yajur Veda
40:9.]
So, Yajur Veda
indicates that:-
They sink deeper
in darkness those who worship sambhuti. (Sambhuti means created things, for
example table, chair, idol etc [Yajurved 40:9]
Those who worship
visible things born of the prakrti, such as the earth, trees, bodies (human and
the like) in place of God are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other
words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow,
and suffer terribly for a long time." [Yajur Veda
40:9.]
When Yajur Veda declares that they are
extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer
terribly for a long time."
When the religion of the Veda knows no idols
then why so many gods and goddesses with different form and name are being
propagated as Vedic gods. Why these conceptual gods are introduced when Vedic
concept of god is free from form and attributes.
Who introduced
concept of god with attributes and attributeless gods, when Yajur Veda says:
- those who worship visible things,
born of the prakrti, such as the earth, trees, bodies (human and the like), in
place of God are enveloped in still greater darkness. Therefore, all these
add-ons proves that the form and attribute based concepts are introduced by
some sages of the past with new belief system and code of conducts in the name
of Vedas.
Sruti is made the final or exclusive authority
in apara Vidya and that for supporting the tenet of the CAUSAL relation or
creatorship of Brahman, Nirguna Brahman = the "Absolute beyond
qualities," which can be defined only in a negative way. For the
Shankarian school = the Ultimate Reality, higher than the Lord. i.e. of Saguna
or apara Brahman ... The support of Scriptural Revelation is, therefore,
absolutely necessary for this hypothesis of cosmology, this Saguna or apara (=
inferior) Brahman, but not for the absolute truth of Nirguna Brahman.
The Sruti itself says: "This Atma is NOT
to be attained by a study of the Vedas. [Katha Upanishad
I, 2, 23.]
Therefore, all
the non- Vedic add-ons and attribute based knowledge, which are inferior, have
to be bifurcated and excluded to know the ultimate truth. The seeker of truth has to drop all the
inferior knowledge based on the attributes and go beyond Vedas to understand
assimilate and realize the ultimate truth or Brahman.
