Knowing God – The Economic Times

Does God exist? Even to ask such a query shouldn’t be proper. As a result of what does God imply? The that means of God is totality. God means totality. The entire of existence is God, so there isn’t a factor, particular person or energy apart from God. All that’s, is God. God is existence. To say ‘God is’ shouldn’t be proper. Reasonably simply ‘is’, which additionally means God. As a result of in saying ‘God is’, there’s a repetition. Asking in regards to the existence of God is asking existence about its existence. And every thing has existence – however not God as a result of that’s existence itself. Every thing else has an existence. However God’s? No, he has no existence. He himself is existence.

And, is there every other method to know the world? Existence can not turn out to be the identified for me as a result of I’m in it and I’m it. However it’s doable to turn out to be one with it. It’s doable to drown in it. In truth, we’re in it and we’re drowned in it. This may be identified by dropping the ‘I’. And experiencing that is to know God.

Therefore, I say that to know him is love. He’s identified solely in love as a result of in love, the ‘I’ is dissolved. The place ‘I’ is, he’s not. The place ‘I’ shouldn’t be, there God is.

I’ve heard {that a} statue product of salt had gone to know the ocean. It found what the ocean was, nevertheless it didn’t return as a result of in figuring out the ocean, it had turn out to be the ocean. How else may it know the ocean apart from to turn out to be the ocean itself? To know God, there isn’t a different approach than to turn out to be godliness itself.
