Problem With Searching God In Books

The problem with searching god in books is that when one goes deep into such studies, contradictions seem to arise. When widely differing theories are offered on the same subject one is apt to get confused, hardly knowing which of them represents the correct position. Several doubts arise. For example, which among the theories of creation is correct? What is the merit of book learning and what is the limit to it? Why do doubts arise? Can one get the ultimate enlightenment from books alone? What is salvation? Which is the best path to salvation or realisation, and why? These are typical and by no means hypothetical questions. The list is not exhaustive either. Only the sages who have realised the ultimate truth themselves can provide satisfactory replies to such questions. Sri Ramana Maharshi's reply to a question on creation illustrates his unique way of reconciling controversies. The questioner was puzzled by Vedic statements giving apparently conflicting accounts of cosmogony.
