In search of God

God is not outside the world. God is within us. Live a Holy, Healthy, Happy Life. God does not Micromanage our actions. I used to believe that prayer changes things, but Prayer changes us and we change things.

Questions Human have asked in the past and continue to ask!

·         What is God? Does He really Exixt> Why do we search for God as part of a religion?

·         Is there really a place such as heaven or hell ?

·         Also ask: Is there really a Soul? What happens to the soul after death?

·         What was our past Life? What will be our future Life? Is therereally such a thing as past life or future Life?

Words of wisdom about God.

·         God is opening a new door in your Life that no one can shut.

·         FAITH (in God) is seeing light with your heart when all your eyes see is darkness.

·         Prayer is when you speak and God listens and meditation is when God speaks and you listen.

·         People hurt you. God will heal you. People humiliate you. God will magnify you. People judge you. God will justify you. People hate you. God will LOVE you.

·         I am a citizen of the world (Under one God). The Earth is my country. And humanity is my Nation.

·         Do you want real peace! Peace has never come from dropping bombs. Real peace comes from enlightenment and educating people to behave more in a diving manner .

Power of PRAYER

·         PRAY hardest when it is hardest to pray.

·         I used to believe that prayer changes things, but prayer changes us and we change things. How does prayer change us? By providing hope or by accepting laws of nature.

WHY Religions Need God to Pray?

·         Religions of the world fall in two Categories: Prayer-Orientedreligions andmeditation-oriented religions.

·         Christianity, Mohammedans, Hindus, Sikhs, and other popular religions of the world are prayer-oriented. For prayer we need higher power to pray which is God.

·         Buddhism, Taoism, and Jainism are meditation-Oriented.

God is within Us.

God is not outside the world. God is within us. Live a Holy. Healthy, Happy Life. Your gateway to Happiness.

Conscious is the VOICE of God in the SOUL. Thus Soul is part of God within us.

SOUL/GOD and Man

Recognition of one’s soul is recognition of God within us.

Mun tu jot saroop hai, apna mool pashaan …(Guru Granth, p441; meaning: O’my soul you’re the image of Divine Light: so know your source.

What is that recognition! What is that state of mind with awakened spirit! That state of mind is without fear. Without enmity, immortal without the fear of death or Birth. Completewithin itself-timeless, ageless, and formless (Akaal Moorat). We know that only physical body, ages spirit is not affected by time or age or birth or death. A few blessed ones realize that state of mind (Nirbhau, Nirvair,Akaal Miirat, Ajooni Saebhang, Gur Prasad! Mul-Mantra or Basic Principle, Japuji, Guru Granth, p ho realize are not afraid of 1) (Those who realize are not afraid of getting old or dying young)

What is God for Scientist!

·         There is one Universal Energy (E=mc2) that we call God, Allah, Ram, Parmatma, Hari, God of Universe, or any other name we choose. Energy can convert into matter can convert into Energy, but total energy never changes and is constant, that is the ultimate truth. Everything is created out of this energy and goes back into this energy. Tat is why: The creation is in the Creator, and the creator is in the creation (Guru Granth p.1350; khalik khalak khalak meinkhalik….Kabir Ji).”

·         God (Energy of the Universe) is everyehere in all forms as well as formlessness (saragun as well as nirgun) All matter is a form created from formless Energy including humans and then souls. So Energy is creator and matter created from energy is creation.

·         Soul/Energy/Mother Nature’s Universal laws/God are different representations of the same concept in view of Scientific Logic.

·         God (Parmatma) and Soul (atma)  is explained by Guru Nanak as the ‘Jot’, which is scientifically “Energy”. The God is in us, the God is in sangat (congregation) “If we can’t see God in all, we can’t see God at all”. “Conscious is the VOICE of God in the SOUL. Thus Soul is the part of God within us.” God is not sitting somewhere in the sky watching our action.

WHY Can’t Religion Achieve Peace!

If all religions teach peace in the name of GOD, Why can’t all religions achieve PEACE?

How Religions created Concept of God! It’s not about achieving Peace.

Life on earth was created through the nonhuman laws of Nature. Strands of Chemicals (DNA) were created in the process of origin of Life, and further in the process some DNA strands became encased in protective shells which increased their survivability dramatically, creating the first unicellular organisms such as first bacteria. From simple unicellular organisms more complexity  was added until a myriad of multi-cell creatures were produced. Through this slow process of evolution over billions of years there was never any need for god, except perhaps idea of religion to unite humans of one religion against the other. That helped for survival with limited resources for food (Karen Armstrong A History of God)

The Creator!

·         God created Humanity, We created religions!

·         God created (Universe including) earth, we created boundaries!

·         In the name of our creations, we continue to destroy His creation!”

·         How can we claim to live in His “Will”!!

Recognizing Real Concept of God.

·  Our collective survival lies in recognizing new realities about God, and its positive relationship to science and spirituality. We must recognize the path of secular humanism, based upon the principles of logic and reasom.

·         Right understanding about the concept of God can provide us with new realities.

New Perspective on Concept of God.

VISION OF GOD;Meet God and Live with it 24 hours a day. The God is not in Church or Mosque or Temple or Gurdwara only that appears every Sunday. God is also not sitting somewhere in the sky watching our actions. The God is in us, the God is in congregation. “If we can’t see God in all, we can’t see God at all.

SUGGESTIONS: Instead of Searching for God that is tangled up with violence and survival, today we should search for God of Spirituality. We need to search for what lifts us out of depression and into being in good spirits. It is this search that will lead us into a new era.
