The rejection of religion, which is based on blind faith
or blind belief in favor of the truth is the message of Sage Sankara.
Prayers and rituals are not the answer to achieve world peace and universal brotherhood. Prayers and rituals based on blind faith and blind belief propagated by religion will not yield any fruit.
The time has come for us to consider seriously how to change our way of life not through prayer or religious rituals, but through realizing God in truth.
Religion is the cause
of of
wars, violence terrorism. The problem of wars, violence, terrorism in the name of
religion and religious Gods “cannot be
resolved through prayers and rituals.
Religion is a man-made problem. Until religion is discarded
from the human psyche, this problem cannot be resolved.
We need a systematic approach to replace religion, which is based on myth with Spirituality which is based on God in truth.
God in
truth to bring oneness and harmony in humanity.
Remember:~
Most of the orthodox people live in the prison of the inherited dogmas and superstitions. The orthodox people expect their clan to follow a certain outdated religious code of conduct (Shastras) and live dogmatically following the traditional lifestyle.
The path of orthodoxy is meant for the ignorant populace which has the sheepish mentality and blindly accepting the inherited dogmas and superstition. From the ultimate standpoint, the concept of God itself is a superstition. Thus, all religious ideas of heaven, hell, sin, karma, are merely imaginary ideas and theories meant for the ignorant people of ancient times.
Yajurveda says:~
Translation 1.
They enter darkness, those who worship natural
things (for example air, water, sun, moon, animals, fire, stone, etc.).
They sink deeper into darkness those who worship sambhuti. (Sambhuti means created things, for example, table, chair, idol, etc.) (Yajurveda 40:9)
Translation 2.
"Deep into the shade of blinding gloom fall asambhuti's worshippers. They sink to darkness deeper yet who on Sambhuti is 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 into darkness those who worship Sambhuti. (Sambhuti means created things, for example, table, chair, idol, etc. (Yajur Veda 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 the religion of the Veda knows no idols then why so many Gods and Goddesses with different forms and names are being propagated as Vedic Gods. Why these conceptual Gods are introduced when the Vedic concept of God is free from form and attributes.
The founders of the different castes of Hinduism introduced different Gods and Goddesses. All these Gods with attributes are barred by Vedas.
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 prove that the form and attribute basedGods are introduced by the founders of different castes of Hinduism in the past with new rituals and code of conducts in the name of Vedas are non-Vedic.
All the non-Vedic elements have to be rejected to realize the Atman the Real God, which is hidden by the illusory form, time, and space. :~Santthosh Kumaar
