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.
You should know the GOD
It
has proved hazardous for the entire humanity. Since birth, every child is
taught to be god-fearing and by the time, he/she grows up, the sense of fearing
goes deep down in his/her understanding. Every child is being intimidated in the
name of god so that he/she may believe in god. Believing means slavery of mind.
But every child is being taught to be afraid of god and this is how we destroy
the originality of a man. That’s why entire humanity has been turned into a
humanoid.
What
is needed is that one should not be god fearing but God loving. Jesus says “God
is love” and Buddha says, “Love is God.”
When one reaches the principle of love, he gets transformed from within. Yes,
it’s love that can only pave the way to doorstep of god and this is nowhere but
inside every one and for this one should go deep down in meditation. Every
child should be taught to love God because the world of god is full of
fragrance with love.
God
fearing have marred every possibility of men being in communion with the God.
And on the account of these follies, men have been robbed of the golden
opportunity of knowing and experience God. Men have miserably failed to create
synthesis within them. Men are hopelessly divided, disintegrated, split in the
name of religion / sect. The language of God is not of division. But the entire
world lives in utter division, in conflict.
God
is only one but we are divided, disintegrated in the name of Hindus,
Mohammedans, and Christians etc. this has split our consciousness and that’s
why synthesis could not be created. Synthesis can be understood only when
synthesis inside starts happening. When a man is divided from within or his
consciousness is divided, how he can experience the god who is indivisible,
complete, integrated. Synthesis simply means a complete harmony, living in
communion.
For
your admiration and devotion to the God --- I would like to say ----- as LOVE
GOD AND LOVE YOUR SELF.
