Where is GOD?

[Guest guest]

People usually say WHERE IS GOD? when they are going through a rough

patch and they doubt that He can help them. But, this is quite an

intriguing character, once you get to know more about God. For

centuries people have wanted to know and find God. You might have

noticed in your life that when we are in trouble or pain, we often

remember those people who have given us comfort and guidance -

parents, siblings, friends, teachers etc. The same occurs with God.

Since we have received some kind of peace, pure love from this

source, we want to go back to it. Many feel that God does not exist.

But all living form on earth require some source of energy. Nothing

runs on its own accord. Similarly when we humans drain ourselves of

our positivity, our zeal and enthusiasm for life, our peace of mind,

we need to go to a reservoir to re-charge our mental battery. Science

does not believe in anything that is not tangible or something that

cannot be physically tested. But the world is full of things that are

not LOGICAL - relationships, emotions, thoughts. We cannot experiment

on these, we can only experience them. Similarly, God's power is so

magnificent that our narrow, limited intellects need to effort in

order to feel it.

 

Human beings have looked and done millions of things in order to

reach God. But that is difficult when we do not have a good

description of God. Human beings have become so confused with all the

different opinions and given up - there probably isn't any God. But

to know who God really is, we have to understand what characteristics

such a divine, almighty authority will have.

 

God should be

 

* universally accepted (God should be such a form or entity that will

be worshipped by all souls. He is not just my spiritual Father, but

the Father of all souls - Parampita)

 

* uninfluenced by the effects of sorrow and happiness (always in a

state of bliss, balance between love and detachment)

 

* Knower of the 3 aspects of time (knows everything about the past,

present, future)

 

* Never enters the cycle of birth and death (anyone who takes on a

body becomes trapped in that specific era; our body becomes a

barrier; we cannot know about everything that is happening in the

world at a particular time - but God does)

 

* Lastly, God is a benefactor (He never takes anything, always and

ONLY gives; He does not need anything because He does not have a

body. With a body, there are numerous things we need to give it for

proper growth.But God is the only soul that does not have a body of

His own. He always works selflessly.)

 

God is a separate, conscient point of divine energy, who has a

particular home, somewhere beyond our universe, and that is where we

came from. That is our true home. As souls, we lived there and then

came on earth to play our roles as actors, as Shakespeare put it.

People today, shy away from spirituality and religion, but that is

the only thing which will protect us eternally.
