On the Advaitic perspective, Jesus is
not God, because, the Bible itself says God is a Spirit, and they that worship
God must worship God in Spirit and in truth.
God in truth is not in an illusory universe but God
in truth is hidden by the illusory universe. When you overcome the duality, then you
will realize God in truth. Lift the veil of ignorance you will find God
in truth.
Bible says: ~ “God is a Spirit, and they that worship God must worship God in spirit and in truth. (John 4:24)
The Spirit is the root element of the universe. The Spirit is present in the form of the Soul, the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. From the Spirit, the universe comes into existence. In the Spirit, the universe resides. And into the Spirit, the universe is dissolved. The Spirit is the parent of all that is there is. There is no God but God. There is no God because the world in which we exist is merely an illusion created out of God, the Spirit. Call it with any name God is universal. God belongs to the whole of humanity.
Religion creates separation God is unity in diversity. God is one which the cause of the whole world in which humanity exists. there is no God but God means the world in which we exist is an illusion. GOD is the cause of the world that is real and eternal. God alone is real and all else is an illusion. There is no second thing that exists other than the Spirit, God thus, God is Advaita.
The Spirit is present in the form of consciousness. Everything is consciousness. All the moments are within the dualistic illusion. Whatever happens within the dualistic illusion is bound to be an illusion created out of consciousness. Thus, consciousness alone is real and all else is merely an illusion.
“Spirit is my father and I and my father are one.”
If the Spirit is the father the son is bound to be the Spirit. The Spirit, the beloved alone is real and all else is merely an illusion.
There is no God in the dualistic
illusion because the dualistic illusion is created out of God, which is present in
the form of the Spirit or the consciousness. Thus, God alone is
real.
Spirit is prior to Love. Love implies duality. The love hides God. When love disappears, God appears. Find the Self and Love the Self and rest in God, which is the Spirit
If the father (God)
is Spirit the son is bound to be the Spirit.
If God is Spirit, then how does a man know God
created the world? There is no proof. If man had seen God creating the world,
he could admit it, but how could he have seen God before he came into
existence? (i.e. were created).
The Spirit is the root element of the universe. The Spirit is present in the form of the Soul, the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. From the Spirit, the universe comes into existence. In the Spirit, the universe resides. And into the Spirit, the universe is dissolved. The Spirit is the parent of all that is there is.
Remember: ~
When Jesus came to his village, he was very
surprised -- the people of the village didn't bother about him at all. Jesus
has said a prophet is never respected in his own country. What is the reason?
Why won't the village respect its prophet? The village people have seen him as
the son of the carpenter Joseph, saw him carrying wood, saw him planning wood,
saw him sawing wood, saw him bathed in sweat, saw him playing and fighting in
the streets. The people of the village have known him since childhood, have
seen him there as a seed. How is it possible that he suddenly becomes the son
of God! No, those who saw the seed cannot accept the flower. They say there
must be some fraud, some cheating; this man is a hypocrite. ~OSHO
All biblical insights lead to nondual Self-awareness. Self-Awareness is Christ consciousness. Self –Knowledge or Brahma Gnana in the biblical sense is Truth or God. The truth was not written down but was imparted orally to the chosen few.
John 8:32: ~ You will know the truth and the truth will set the Self free.”
Jesus said: ~ "Know what is in front of your face, and what is hidden from you will be disclosed to you. (THE GOSPEL OF THOMAS- Saying 5)
It means one has to know the world which confronts him confronts to realize his body and world are made of the same essence and that essence is Spirit [father].
Even Sage Sankara says: one must first know what is before him. If he cannot know that, what else can he know or understand? If he gives up the external world in his inquiry, he cannot get the whole truth.
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.
Sage Sankara says: ~ VC~ 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.
Jesus said: ~ "Those who seek should not stop seeking until they find. When they find, they will be disturbed. When they are disturbed, they will marvel, and will reign over all." (Gospel of Thomas 2)
The Kingdom of God is inside you and all around you, Not in a mansion of wood and stone. Split a piece of wood and God is there, Lift a stone and you will find God." (Gospel of Thomas)
1. According to the New Testament, Jesus said to his disciples: ‘To you, it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God; but for others, they are in parables so that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand (Luke, 8:10).
While speaking to the multitude in a veiled manner, ‘privately to his own disciples he explained everything (Mark, 4:34), and advised them not to throw your pearls before swine’ (Matthew, 7:6).
Advaitic wisdom or Self – knowledge (truth) or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is for the class not for the mass. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
