Each religion emphasises one Name and one Form of God and recommends them for acceptance. Some even insist that God has no other Name or Form. But, the Reality is beyond name and form, It has Akshara (the indestructible, eternal) as the characteristic and Om as the Form. You reach the Akshara stage, the stage of attributeless unity, in three steps of Sadhana: (i) I am Thine, (ii) Thou art mine, and (iii) Thou art myself. Through Sadhana, one must transcend the duality of I and You. I is only the reflection of You in this body. The consummation is reached when duality is superseded. That is why it has been declared, "It is good to be born in a church; but, it is not good to die in it." That is to say, before life ends one must go beyond the limits set by institutionalised religion and reach the vast limitless expanse of the Aathman, which pervades all.
