No religious ceremony will bring you Truth, says the Upanishads

 

 

Upanishad and one will see that it says Atman the innermost self is known by Reason alone, by sharpened and purified intellect. Yet still people worship Yoga and mysticism as the sole means of attaining Atman. 
 When the reality appears this ignorance  which one thinks as reality becomes unreal.
— MEHER BABA

 

"If one knows That here, then there is Truth"--this is the most important thing said in the  

 

KENO Upanishad. You must see immortality in this birth. 

 

CHANDOGYA Upanishad . Chap.7.1.2 points out:-  futility as mere words of all ordinary human learning in contrast with philosophy.

No religious ceremony will bring you Truth, says the Upanishads  

 

Sage Sri, Sankara says in (VC):-   

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.

65. As a treasure hidden underground requires (for its extraction) competent instruction, excavation, the removal of stones and other such things lying above it and (finally) grasping, but never comes out by being (merely) called out by name, so the transparent Truth of the self, which is hidden by Maya and its effects, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman, followed by reflection, meditation and so forth, but not through perverted arguments.
