Guest guest Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Dear friend Brad..........Please don't try to know God , one needs to feel his/her existence within ones ownself.......it is not a character that you are searching for........it is eternal truth and power that we often called SHAKTI.........given different form by different human imaginations till date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Through devotion he knows Me in reality, as to what and who I am. Then, having known Me in truth, he enters (into Me) immediately after that (Knowledge).

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Mr. Stephan, The question I am faced with is not " How do you know God exists " - it is " How do I know that I exist " . Call it an effrontery but how can God exist if I do not, God's existence is in and through my own existence, which I am not very sure about. After all no one can obviate the possibility that my life is but a dream. Also I have seen men some without hands, some without legs. Do they exist any less compared to those who have all their limbs? In a more obscure way - Vedantic definition God is Existence itself - " Existence - Knowledge - Bliss " . To the Vedantins the question " How do you know God exists " may sound a preposterous one. Yours in the Lord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
