Guest guest Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 To feel wanted and be loved is one of the natural feelings in humans. When we are close to our friends and relative we feel happy and wanted, especially if we are meeting them after a gap of time. The warmth of human affection comforts like a fireplace in winter. Closeness to our loved ones- ( spouse...gives) children, grandchildren and other dear ones gives us much happiness and joy and makes us expand with joy... Closeness is an ex-pression of concern and longing for the beloved. When one is near a fan in summer or a heater in winter, the closeness brings coolness and warmth, making us comfortable. A cosy seat on a flight similarly makes us happy, at least physically. Being near to physical objects like a fan or heater gives us convenience and soothes us. Being close to a friend or contemporary is friendship or association. Thus closeness means many things- friendship,affection and association with friends,relatives,classmates and peers. But with God, it is vastly different. If a person claims that he / she is close to God or to Baba, he / she is a delusion. It reflects pride and ego. The simple explanation is that God is not an object or a person; God is a phenomenon. Hence to claim " I am close to God " is sheer ignorance. We will continue this topics soon.
