Conceptualizing, visualizing God Almighty Brahman in Hinduism in all its glory was beyond commoners, masses at large. Even though most Hindus realized God was one and only one, Brahman in Hinduism… most preferred travelling path of religion (path of rituals) than travelling path of spirituality.
As per Hinduism religion (always termed a way of life) there existed a total of 330 million gods and goddesses, a simply unbelievable figure yet, none wanted to point out this fallacy rather humbly accepted whatever was stated by Hindu mythology, Hindu priests.
Only a true seeker of God travelled path of spirituality to reach God in present life. For this seeker God was one and only one Brahman in Hinduism. A traveler of spiritual path never went to temples, churches or mosques. One indulged in path of contemplation, self enquiry and logical reasoning to reach God.
The single entity known as God can only be realized via path of spirituality detailed in Bhagavad Gita. Through path of religion (rituals) in present times none could reach God. As journey of spirituality always was unknown, uncharted territory most preferred travelling religious path than path of spirituality.
Believers of religion (rituals) always worshipped Sakaar form of God (having a form). A traveler of spiritual path always worshipped Nirakaar form of God (having no form). Why indulge in religion, rituals when it led nowhere. By travelling path of spirituality we can negate karma to zero, become a pure soul atman.
In yesteryears, many centuries back travelers of religious path reached God, realized God via path of religion, path of karma yoga and bhakti yoga alone. But in present times path of jnana yoga (absolute wisdom) was necessitated to unveil hidden underlying precepts of spirituality contained in sacred texts.
Whether we travelled path of religion or spirituality was a matter of personal choice. God Almighty ordained a long journey of 1.1 million manifestations in human form to reach stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana). There was never hurry on spiritual path or a shortcut.
