Who is God ?

I am the Ocean of Love I show you the path of love My love remains unbroken and constant I cannot forget even one of you I have so much love for you My love is unconditional and unlimited I am the Beloved You have been calling out to Me for a long time

God The Supreme Soul Father of all Human souls Eternally Incorporeal and Constant in all Virtues and Powers

Only The Supreme Himself can reveal His form, His role and His abode Like us, God is also a soul. Unlike us, He is referred to as the Supreme Soul – the only soul who never takes a body (gross or subtle, human or angelic) of His own. He is beyond the effects of actions and is never subject to the dualities of birth and death, pleasure and pain, success and failure. Being beyond the limits of time of this physical world, He retains absolute knowledge of the universe and all its dimensions. He is truth itself and can be recognized with the eye of truth. One can reach out to God with pure thoughts and be connected to Him. The soul experiences the response of pure feelings and spiritual strength.

God The Spiritual Sun Like the physical sun, which gives light and life indiscriminately to all beings, God is the Spiritual Sun, giving light to all, whomever and wherever they may be. He serves altruistically, without any selfish motives, reminding each one of their innate qualities of love, peace and happiness. This is why He has been remembered in some countries and cultures by the name Shiva, The Benevolent One. Whether referred to as He or She, depending on the nature of the relationship, God is the only Soul with whom one can have the fulfillment of all relationships. God’s power is to help the soul recognize its highest potential and to aim for perfection by practicing the art of living.

God’s Wisdom, Love and Power People may wonder why, if God exists, He doesn’t wave a magic wand and fix things, making or at least influencing everyone so that they do exactly what they ‘should’ do. But God never takes away anyone’s freedom of choice. God’s wisdom is to recognize and respect each soul’s individual identity, freedom and inherent goodness. God shares knowledge – a profound understanding of the dualities and dilemmas of love and hatred, happiness and sorrow, victory and defeat, etc. – but He does not make our choices for us. The soul is free to choose ‘to be or not to be’, ‘to love or not to love’.

God’s Wisdom, Love and Power (Cont’d) God’s love strengthens the soul’s will to free itself from the distresses caused by vices such as selfish desire, anger, fear, ego and attachment. God’s power helps the soul to recognize its highest potential and to aim for perfection by practicing the art of simple living and high thinking. Such practice by a significant number of souls eventually brings about positive change in the whole of humanity.

The oval shape form of the light of God is worshipped by all religions in one way or another. This confirms the true form of one God who is the Father and Mother of all Human Souls

God is omnipotent and omniscient but not omnipresent God is omnipotent and omniscient but not omnipresent. He has a fixed place of abode from where His vibrations can reach the entire world. Like the sun He does not need to be on earth to shine His rays of energy on us. He is the ultimate source of energy constantly radiating but it is our responsibility to consciously and constantly connect with Him through thoughts and feelings. Like a radio station constantly airing programs but if I do not switch on and tune in, I am unable to receive anything. No matter what the situation, I can connect with the Supreme Soul through a thought and draw the help and strength that I need from this infinite reservoir of power and virtues.

Consciousness to Experience Union with God I picture myself…..a pinpoint of light…..in the center of the forehead…..in the consciousness of the soul …..I allow my thoughts to go above and beyond and connect with the light of God, the Supreme Soul….. the ocean of Peace and Love…..I draw the energy of Peace and Love from Him into my mind…..I keep absorbing these qualities as much as I can until I feel full…..in this state of fullness….. I now experiment with experiencing all relationships with this One…..I think of Him as my Father…..my Mother…..my Friend …..my Beloved.….I feel the belongingness to the One for whom I have been searching and searching…..I know that I am now able to make this connection as often as I wish and for as long as I want.
