What does God look like

For humanity... for masses... for commoners... for believers of religion... if we ask, "What does god look like"... the simple reply would be... God is an embodiment of love, forgiveness, sacrifice and what not! True... God is impartial and loves all but in the system of God there never are free lunches. The love of God is not available to all! Why?

God loves those who do his bidding! God loves those who follow the path ordained by God Almighty! Ever since creation of mankind... ever since first human being roamed planet Earth people experience presence of God in every event of life! Still, none can know... what god looks like... the structure of God Almighty! Why?

It is for the prime reason that God Almighty is not form of human beings! God Almighty is source of all things cosmic... the combined power of all souls’ atmans in the cosmos at a given moment of time! This magnificent enormous cosmic power... the size of half a thumb is what we know as God Almighty!

The system of God Almighty is controlled by inscrutable laws of karma! As we sow so shall we reap... nothing less or more! God Almighty always acted as Dhrishta (onlooker) never interfering with creation of his! The whole cosmic system is governed by the doctrine of karma! The law of karma acting as accountant general of cosmic system!

If we truly desire to know... what is god... we have to travel path of spirituality... path of absolute truthfulness! We can communicate with God... we can talk to God only by traveling spiritual path... never otherwise! For an enlightened one like Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammed... communicating with God was a daily affair!

God is never to be found in temples, churches or mosques... God Almighty can only be reached via uncharted path of spirituality... path of unknown! God can only be known by having absolute faith in God Almighty. Similar as we believe in presence of a flower by its smell... we also need believing God... relying on God for the mere reason that God created everything!

Believe in God... absolute faith in God is of utmost importance... something people world over failed to realize! Most human beings pursued God without full faith in God Almighty! Similar as steam does not generate until water boils to hundred degrees centigrade... God Almighty can not be reached until we have full faith in God Almighty!

We have to fully rely on God... no matter what! The human form is but a sojourn for a soul atman that has manifested human form to work out its karma... cleanse itself of dross impurities within. Truly every human being is but an instrument in hands of God Almighty! Agreed... that God exists within us in miniscule form as our soul atman but for reaching God we needed negating karma in entirety!

For an ardent seeker of spirituality, God is available everywhere! Those who do not believe in existence of God in totality often ask, "Where is god when I need him"! Believing in the existence of God is a necessity of spiritual path! Unless we believe in God... until we had absolute faith in God Almighty... the stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) can never be reached!

For those who seek God sincerely and diligently... what does god look like does not matter! What matters is whether God Almighty can be reached within this lifetime! Gaining enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha) is the ultimate goal of life! The moment one gained enlightenment... everything related to God... what does god look like becomes absolutely clear!

Doubting God... doubting the existence of God is the biggest problem of mankind! As a human being it is our duty to travel spiritual path diligently and reach cosmic end of life at the earliest! As a liberated soul atman... one finally reached kingdom of God (termed Pralaya in Hinduism)! Kingdom of God is a point of no return... every soul atman remains in abode of God until eternity!

For an enlightened one like Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and prophet Mohammed... queries like where is god, does god exist, do you believe in god, is there a god carried no meaning! Nonbelievers never understood the concept of God clearly! For a believer, God Almighty (termed Brahman in Hinduism) is one and only one!

Attributes of God can be many but God Almighty... also termed Karta, Sanatana Purusha, Bhagwan, Ishwar, Prabhu etc. in Hinduism is one and only one! For commoners... masses God Almighty was Sakaar in form (having a form). For a serious seeker of spirituality God always was Nirakaar in form (having no form)!

Understanding structure of God is not that difficult as most human beings think! God Almighty is the absolute truth of life. In absence of God Almighty there would be no cosmos... no human beings... no life on mother earth! Why? It is for the simple reason that cosmos gets created when God Almighty explodes self with a big bang... never otherwise!

All souls atmans exist... life exists in cosmic system because of existence of biggest supernatural consciousness... God Almighty himself! God Almighty... all souls atmans are beyond purview of normal human beings... masses... the commoners! To imagine a formless God is beyond capability of most human beings!

Not only God Almighty is formless... Nirakaar in form... the size of God Almighty is also limited by half the size of a thumb! As per sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism... the cluster of all purified souls atmans in the cosmos is what we know as God Almighty! This mass of pure cosmic energy occupies the volume of half a thumb!

God Almighty (termed Brahman in Hinduism) comes to its original shape the moment complete dissolution of cosmos occurs (termed Pralaya in Hinduism)! At this moment of time... in whatever manifest stage of life souls atmans be... all reached 8.4 millionth manifestation... the last in cosmic life cycle!

This super consciousness we term God Almighty works as a massive supercomputer... preprogrammed for everything! As our prayers... accordingly they get answered! The whole process is automatic! If our prayers are correct... they get answered! If we pray the wrong way... they do not get answered! Similar is the case with worship.

If we desire invoking a supernatural power... we need to know mantra for the same! All mantras are hidden as ordained by God Almighty! Only when human beings traveled spiritual path... these mantras unveiled slowly... step-by-step! While remaining engrossed in material pursuits of life... none can truly know the mantras... God Almighty!

For knowing God Almighty... for realizing true essence of life... for understanding the complete cosmic structure created by God Almighty... traveling spiritual path is a necessity... a compulsion! Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism is one such sacred scripture knowing which human beings finally emancipated forever from cycle of birth and death... reached cosmic end of life!

For knowing God... for realizing what does god look like, assimilating pearls of wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita is necessitated! One needs traveling path of jnana yoga (absolute wisdom) to reach stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana)! God Almighty can never be known via path of religion... path of rituals!

For developing a conversation with God... for understanding who is god... we need to fully rely on God by developing absolute faith in him! In absence of absolute faith in God Almighty nothing much on spiritual path can be achieved! Walking path of absolute truthfulness is another necessity... an essentiality of spiritual path!

When 13 years of age... I seriously started in search of God! I wanted to know who God was... I wanted to see and meet God... no matter what! 25 years of yoga meditation... following path of absolute truthfulness... practicing absolute celibacy for a period of 14 years in continuation my kundalini awakened fully!

In 1993 at 37 years of age I finally realized God! For me contents of sacred Bhagavad Gita have become like ABCD. Not only do I understand what God is all about... everything contained in various sacred scriptures of all religions of the world have also become like ABCD to me. I have practically reached end of cosmic life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation!

Now I am in permanent communion with God every second of life! I can see God... I can talk to God every second of life! The mystery of whole cosmos... the mystery of God Almighty having unveiled before me forever... I have nothing more left to know in the whole cosmos!

I was able to reach cosmic end of life assisted by teachings of Bhagavad Gita... the doctrine given to mankind by Lord Krishna! Anything related to Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana was of great help as in the last about 150 years world over only two persons reached stage of enlightenment... Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana!

If we truly desire traveling spiritual path... if we truly desire understanding God... if we truly desire knowing God in present life time... we have to reach inner portals of Bhagavad Gita! The contents of sacred Bhagavad Gita can never be understood literally... we have to read in between the lines! Only then meaning of 700 shlokas verses contained in Bhagavad Gita unveiled before us!
