There are one lakh Shalokas in the Vedas. Out of these 80,000 are related to rites & rituals alone. These tell us about sin, merit & other such like things. Only 4000 Shlokas are related to the attainment of God. That is to say, the religion, at first, teaches us about the way one should behave & lead one’s life. The attainment of God comes afterwards. Our ancestors didn’t indulge in sinful acts. They were afraid of sins. But today, man doesn’t feel afraid of these sinful acts. The people seem to be engrossed in worship but no practical change in the behavior of the people is to be seen. It means, we have moved away from the first aim as well.
Then the Vedas are talking about the Nirakar (formless). Bible as well is talking of the formless God. Islam also talks about the Bechoona-God (formless).Take Nirakar as Niranjan & the Nam related to Param Purush as a hidden one.Two kinds of worship—Sagun & Nirgun--are to be found everywhere. Both of these talk about the performance of noble deeds. Significance of the acts of charity is also to be found in them. The gurus are usually family holders. They ask the devotees to perform pilgrimage of the four Dhams, do acts of charity & merit & to attain the heaven & other kinds of Lokas. They don’t show any path to attain God. Unlike the Sagun worshippers, the Nirgun worshippers take God as formless. Some say Sahib Kabir as well was the worshipper of Nirakar. This is not true. The Nirgun worship centres around the five postures whereas the Satya Bhakti revolves arount the Satguru.
