People say God is light, or God is light within

 

People say God is light, or God is light within.  Some people think God is energy and they are separate from that energy. Some contend that God is sound and say, they hear the divine sound, sound inside in their meditation. Some say God is fragrant smell and that beautiful scent comes in their meditation as the presence of God. All these differences of opinion, they can be endless, show mutual contradiction and general error, that is lack of certain truth. Seeker has to realize the fact that if one sees a Light he is seeing it as a person, person is the cause of duality, and therefore there is no reality in his claim. 

 Yajur Veda:- 

"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.]

"Na tasya pratima asti"
"There is no image of Him."[Yajurveda 32:3]

"Ekam evadvitiyam"
"He is One only without a second." [Chandogya Upanishad 6:2]

"Na casya kascij janita na cadhipah."
"Of Him there are neither parents nor lord." [Svetasvatara Upanishad 6:9]

"Na tasya pratima asti"
"There is no likeness of Him." [Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:19]

"shudhama poapvidham"
"He is bodiless and pure." [Yajurveda 40:8]

"Na samdrse tisthati rupam asya, na caksusa pasyati kas canainam."
"His form is not to be seen; no one sees Him with the eye." [Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:20]

all this is refereed  to Atman   the innermost self . Atman is ultimate truth or brahman. ultimate truth or Brahman itself is god. thus the Atman which is in the form of consciousness is God. Thus Self-Realization is Truth -Realization. Truth- Realization is God -Realization.   

 

Only through deeper inquiry, analysis and reasoning on the base of the soul as self, one becomes aware of the fact that, the individual gods propagated by religions does not exist in reality.  God is impotent, incompetent or lacking in intelligence--if he exists! However, all Religions are nothing but imaginations, because religion and its idea of god are reality only on the base of ‘I’, which is the false self.

It is not possible anyone to know God other then his inherited belief.  If anyone performs worship and meditation on god, it is only he is worshiping/meditating his inherited belief. The belief is not god. When the believer and his experience of the world are part of the illusion, then whatever he believed within the illusion is bound to be illusion. Thus, it is necessary for the seeking mind to make sure of the fact that, ‘I’ is not the self, in order to assimilate and acquire  the Self-Knowledge or  Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
