Know yourself, know God
What is God? What is not God? What is the definition of God,
if there is one?
The moment you define
by a word you already have a concept about it.
What do you think is God?
You describe it as that which is everywhere;
which is all-powerful;
which is responsible for this creation,
for its maintenance, and for its dissolution;
which is
Omnipresent,
Omnipotent,
and
Omniscient. You say
''I want to see God''
and when you want to see God as something,
as an object,
then it's not everywhere.
The moment you see God,
there is a distance between you and God;
then you are not God.
You want to see God,
and this wanting to see God as separate from you
is again an illusion;
and
if you are seeing God, then God is not omnipresent! Like love is felt in the heart,
so is God's presence.
You cannot see air, but you simply feel the air.
You cannot see heat or cold, but you just feel it.
So in the same way God cannot be seen.
If you see God, then He is outside there;
He is away from you and isolated.
God is never an object of isolation.
God is the sum total.
When you dissolve, God remains.
When you are there, there is no God.
Either you can be there, or God can be there, not both.
So when you meditate, you become one with God.
You are God.
That is why, it is said,
'Tatvamasi',
meaning,
''Thou art that''. So,
God is to be felt
in the depth of your heart.
In deep meditation
when your mind is
still, calm, hollow and empty,
you suddenly feel,
''I am not there.
There is only one big existence.''
So,
don't worry about God.
First know yourself then you also
know
what is God, almost simultaneously.
