sambya Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 GOD IS INFINITE oops !! sorry for typing in 'goa' instesd of god.every time i talk with some people they seems to suggest that god can only be a person, or that he is always sagun etc.its similar to the claims of muslims and christians that only allah is god or god can never be with form. we all know that god is infinite.now what do we understand by this term.for a vast majority of us that would mean someone who extends all over the universe.or it might mean infinite in the same way as used in mathematics.but surely god is not that kind of infinite.the word 'infinite' is impossible for humans to comprehend because we are limited by our senses.he has ananta rup, ananta bhav,ananta guna.when someone draws a line and say that god can be only this and not that isnt it trying to limit god within finite terms?it is a paradoxical statement.how can someone limit god.we can never comprehend what he actually is(even sukadeva and narada failed).

That is a beautiful understanding that is inspirational to a person of any particular religion or faith in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
