GOD the Almighty & I the soul

MY UNDERSTANDING OF GOD

There are different concepts or hypothesis about existence of god. With the base line from Bramhakumaris, I have developed my understanding of GOD. This was after lot of self thought and the guidance provided by almighty during meditations. I am trying to put in my words due to inspiration from the GOD i.e. Almighty, the supreme power.

I am trying to put it down for further improvements as the understanding unfolds further. God or supreme power is a source of energy. This is an infinite source. This energy is freely available to all those who wish to avail of it. One can get this energy through meditation during which one tries to tune to the god. Seven different virtues of god can be visualized and these depleted qualities in us can be replenished. These virtues are: Power, purity, happiness, love, peace, knowledge and bliss.

God exists in the form energy /power/ potential viz. gravitational field, electric field and magnetic field. These concepts from science we understand very well but very difficult to show or prove. They simply exist. We can see the results but not see these fields. These are potentials. God needs some medium through which these fields can be applied to show their existence. Field by themselves cannot be felt. These fields are in vacuum. “The total vacuum without any material of any sort whatsoever but having the presence of these fields” can be visualized as God the almighty. We can see neither vacuum, nor these fields viz.gravity, electricity and magnetism. But we can see the results of all these even individually when proper media exist. Similarly, god needs some media to express, and thus this nature was created. Fields and vacuum or fields in vacuum always exist, always there. But the media may or may not be there.  Thus GOD is eternal. God was never created like energy can never be created nor destroyed.  God was, is, and shall be always there and everywhere.  We are the media created by god to explore the potentials.

WHO AM I: I am not the body or name or profession like Doctor, Engineer, or the role like father, mother etc. I am energy, the spirit or the programmer behind this human machine which is made up of parts but can function only when the energy is present in the body. This energy is Atman or Chaitanya or soul.

This energy leaves the body and enters new body or changes the costume. We call it rebirth. This energy is very much similar to god- the energy -except that it is not infinite but limited. But all the godly qualities or virtues are present in this Atman as well. But these qualities are submerged by the habit patterns or overshadowed by other vises. We need to re emerge them by taking energy from God. This is done automatically when we connect to god during meditation.

During meditation we think and feel about the virtues of god and thus re emerge the original qualities in us. We can use the powers to cleanse our mind of any evils or vises and come out as a pure soul.

The powers are : Power to withdraw, power to let go or pack up, power to tolerate, power to accept, power to discriminate, power to judge, power to face and power to co operate. The vises or evils to be cleansed out are: Lust, anger, greed, attachment, ego and jealousy, competition, hatred, fear & depression. This process can be termed as SWADARSHAN.

ACTION

ACTION 

    Om shanti!

    We are considering the word ‘action’ not in isolation but with reference to the TEAAM i.e. Thoughts – Emotions – Attitude – Action – Memory indicating all physical, verbal and mental actions.

No action can take place without the process of thinking, feeling and developing attitude and decision making for the action (all mental actions). Also, the actions are followed by memory of actions as well as the resultant feelings good or bad again a mental exercise. Repetitive process of actions will form the habit pattern and result in inculcating belief system again a mental action. After having particular habit pattern and belief system, the decision making process is compromised and thoughts are followed by actions directly. Here starts the trouble, because, now the action is not with proper decision making (mental action) by intellect but by habit. If we create good thoughts in our minds they create good pleasant feelings, develop the right attitude and our actions are also pleasing and for the benefit of the concerned. To have good thoughts, one must have a right belief system in the form of “Sanskar”. Quite often our actions are not based on what is, or what we feel right or wrong, but on what others feel about the actions; e.g. while writing on the topic ‘action’ I may write on ‘what it is’,  ‘what it should be’, ‘what will please the audience’ or  ‘what I want to portray for having social acceptance’. 

‘What it is’ is a statement of fact or my perception. ‘What it should be’ is a philosophy or my belief system. ‘What will please the audience’ is an adjustment or compromise. However, ‘What I want to portray’ is actually an effort to create an impression i.e. my ego or selfishness.

 

Sometimes, it is necessary to follow a particular path including selfish one with some purpose in mind depending on the situation. In such a case, there may be an apparent anomaly between our belief systems and the need of the hour. One should understand “this is life”. However, the broader concept should be kept at the back of our mind viz “O God, please grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference--------------AND THE WISDOM CAN ONLY BE OBTAINED BY DEVELOPING S.Q. THROUGH MEDITATION i.e. TUNING WITH ALMIGHTY, EXPRESSING GRATITUDE and allowing your soul to streamline with Universal energy.
