See God- Where? How? Why?-(4)
The question of God or no God disappears.
My imagination is that, God is the pre-Big-Bang state of the tangible universe; modern scientists named that pre-Big-Bang state as - 'Singularity'. In Singularity Energies-Matters-Space-Time, four constituent ingredients of the physical universe did not exist; only PURE CONSCIOUSNESS existed. Infinite God or PURE CONSCIOUSNESS created this finite physical universe for some stipulated period of time through a process; and modern scientists love to call that process with a nick name - "Big-Bang".
According to Vedanta, creative desire of PURE CONSCIOUSNESS is the cause of creation of the physical universe; and PURE CONSCIOUSNESS is the only entity available in creating Energies-Matters-space-Time necessary to erect the grand stage, perceived by us as PHYSICAL UNIVERSE. Creator and the created are inseparable. Creative urge of PURE CONSCIOUSNESS is 'MAYA'. Infinite God or PURE CONSCIOUSNESS creates the finite physical universe to realize HIS infinitude. Created Physical Universe is the stage on which KRISHNA or PURE CONSCIOUSNESS dances eternally with all animate and inanimate objects of the tangible universe.
So, Consciousness, which is none other than God, is fully blossomed on every moment of now; and it does not require graded evolution over time. What we human beings require is to try to make our mind evolved enough so that, we get conscious awareness about the fact that - 'We all are parts of profound system, called by us as - God'; and like creator God we also have immense creative power and wisdom to solve serious problems faced by the modern man.
If you wish to see the secret treasure well-protected inside the iron-chest of the king, you have to establish close friendship with the king by hook or by crook; he will then gladly show you what you want to see. Likewise, to get the answers of the perennial questions of human mind - 'Who am I', 'What is the true nature of the physical universe around me', 'What is my relationship with the tangible universe, about which I know through my sense organs', I have to come in contact with the Creator of the universe through my intuitive eyes or divine eyes; and this intuitive eyes open only through extensive spiritual practices under a true Guru.
The concept of 'Monism' of Advaita Vedanta, that teaches us that, the tangible universe is created out of the Creator, as because the Creator and only the Creator has real existence; and created physical universe has no real existence, because created universe with all inanimate and animate objects is mere a dream of the Creator. According to Vedanta Creator and the Created universe comprising Matters-Energies-Space-Time are inseparable - like the spider and its created cobweb. So, you and I are parts of a vast system, known to us as Creator God. So, we should love ourselves, we should love all inanimate and animate objects of the tangible universe, about which we know through our sense organs. In the ocean of ancient Indian spiritual science there is another profound idea - concept of 'Dualism', that teaches us that the Creator of the physical universe with all inanimate and animate objects, and the Creation itself are two completely different entities - like the potter and his created objects. Both these well known concepts have many followers with unfathomable wisdom. Both these concepts are described lucidly by Sri Krishna in the
God is a concept, an ideal state for our behavior and action and reactions. Ascribing name and worshiping Him is only to follow the rules set by various societies, for managing normal behaviors. Element of fear in doing wrong to others is just the effect of 'to every action there is equal and opposite reaction', which is strengthened by the concept, that someone superior to all is seeing us. ----
GOD is one of the finest creations of mankind.
God is like a scapegoat...anything man is unable to explain or is scared about....that’s GOD.
When man was scared of thunder and lightning...he attributed to God, the Sun, the Moon were all gods...Romans/Greeks and also in the 'present' concept of our Hindusim. The moment science comes with a logical explanation....the concept changes. Now that man has probably defecated on the Moon.....the concept is Energy...Light. Wait till photons and Bosons become common lingo!
Is God all powerful.....no ...that’s what mankind wanted God to be....but God just isn’t capable of proving his gender, leave alone ridding the world (Earth) of suffering. The learned, tell me to accept and pray with humility....if God knows what I want. Why do I need to pray to him. (Forgive me for attributing a gender)...he can give it to me. One famous guru (he has a very large following on the Tree)....said on TV to a question.."Guruji are you God ?' His answer was "Yes. Do you have any doubt....there is as much of God in me as in you.” Sounded sensible to me 8 yrs back...
God isn’t supposed to take bribes (sweets and flowers and clothes and gold...)...for getting me that contract or getting my child into an English speaking public school (that will give me more status than it will give my child some English speaking skills).
Is God supposed to live in temples and mosques or Gurudwaras...that have mushroomed on illegally acquired or forcibly occupied land? How many religious institutions that any of my readers have visited are on land that has been bought by the trust/temple/religious board. Queue for some. Special darshans for others.
I think it is wrong to say that those who create problems for others, spread unhappiness all around by their conduct, live in peace but those who are spreading peace and happiness in the lives of others ,are troubled souls and misfortunes only visit them. It is only that the former kind are insensitive people, they are not normal human beings. Hitler was a tortured soul and ultimately committed suicide. The latter kind of people are sensitive people, full of empathy for others, they share others miseries and, therefore appear to be suffering themselves. Look at the aura of peace and self effulgent serenity on the face of Buddha and Mahavir or Jesus Christ.
There is no discrimination between good and bad people in so far as extent of suffering and misfortune is concerned. Hindu concept of Karma explains this. If bad people suffer, they pass on the misery to others but the good people suffer in silence. Suffering is a test of goodness. Some people retain their innate goodness despite misfortunes but those who are good only for effect, change their colours at the first sign of trouble. They blame others and God for their miseries. If they look deeper and introspect, probably they themselves are partly responsible for their suffering.
For your admiration and devotion to the God --- I would like to say ----- as LOVE GOD AND LOVE YOUR SELF.
