The Form of GOD - Comparative Religion Study - 5

Wednesday, May 11, 2011

What is the actual form of GOD. Bible says god created human in his own form.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him;male and female created he them. – Genesis 1 : 27

Even though there are many places in the bible where God never appeared to man in his own form but as a form of whirlwind, sound and echoes etc., Even in the New testament when disciples asked Jesus Christ “Can you show us the God, Your Father?” he replied

“He who sees me, Sees my father” John 12:45

It is not only because he believed his father existed in him, it is also because everyone cannot see the almighty with a naked eye. This is evident from the following verses where Jesus hesitated to say himself the GOD. 

God is Light - Comparative Religion Study – 4

Sunday, May 8, 2011
ஆதியானது ஒன்றுமே அனேகனேக ரூபமாய்
சாதி பேதமாய் எழுந்து சர்வ ஜீவன் ஆனது
ஆதியோடு இருந்து மீண்டு எழுந்து ஜென்மம் ஆனபின்
சோதியான ஞானியாகி சுத்தமாய் இருப்பனே

The above verse is from siddha Siva Vakkiyar. The explanation of who is god is very simple. The supreme being is one and it is responsible for all forms of life. That supreme being is in the form of light and if living beings understand and mingle then they shall have wisdom.

There are many similarities among the world religions in the sayings about God. This one saying that God is light is the familiar one among them.
“The Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.”
(Isaiah 60:19)

Siddhas about One GOD - Comparative Religion Study - 3

Thursday, May 5, 2011

When comparing most sayings from all religions, according to Siddhas of India even the GOD is one and is not having any specific form. It is a form of comparative religion studies. The following verses taken from Sivavakkiyar Hymns talking about god as one and nothing but what is called sivam. In this sivam doesn’t mean Lord Shiva who is a deity. Here Shiva means the one self itself. The word siva derived from the word “Swayam” which means one’s self.
Lets see what siva vakkiyar have to say:
ஒன்றும் ஒன்றும் ஒன்றுமே உலகனைத்தும் ஒன்றுமே
அன்றும் இன்றும் ஒன்றுமே அனாதியானது ஒன்றுமே - 183
Onrum onrum onrume ulaganaithum onrume
Anrum inrum onrume anathiyaanathu onrume
All over the world lies the divine one from the very beginning of this world which is not having end or beginning.

One God in Brahma sutra & Bhagavad Gita - Comparative Religion Study - 2

Tuesday, May 3, 2011
Ekam eva Advitheeyam Brahma.
Neeka Nanasti kinchana.

The only one that exists is the non-dual Brahman and there is nothing else.

Ekameva adviteeyam - HE(The supreme Lord and BrahmaM) is only ONE, not dual, meaning all Chit(living - incl of all gods) and non-living) are also part of HIM. There is nothing that exists independent of HIM. In the unmanifested form, (before creation) "All beings are in Me, but I am not in them". Gita 9:4. [which proves that HEis an independent , magnificient Person including every creation, so He cannot be formless!!!!!].

Eko Devaha sarva Bhootatmama - HE, the one only, is the heart, innerself/supersoul of every soul(jiva incl of all gods). [ so I am not God, the inner I is that Supreme GOD]. By Me, in My manifested form (after creation), this entire universe is pervaded, as supersoul/BrahmaN. Gita 9:4 [This disproves that 'I am God', else would contradict the above aphorism, that 'all beings are in HIM'].

A true yogi observes Me in all beings, and also sees every being in Me. Indeed, the self-realized man sees Me everywhere. Gita : 6-29.

The prevalence of the God Particle (The Supreme Power):

Monday, May 2, 2011
Everybody may remember the experiment conducted by CERN laboratories at Switzerland seeking to know the secret of creation – THE BIG BANG THEORY. How the universe would have been created. What is the secret behind it. It was a long time drama by the scientists and theists about the secret of creation. If something like this amazing univers has to be created then there must have been some particle existed. But scientists were not able to prove the existence of so called particle. Because beyond the whole universe lies only a vacuum. Then what is this particle so called.

Seeking the Truth - If Ye shall not hear the Truth then No one shall Tell you

Finding what God is the mere meaning what Jesus Christ meant as "Seek the Truth". You cannot know what God is through a series of conventional meetings, series of lectures or through any other means except with the inner search of the mind. That's what he exactly meant as "Truth"

I have many reasons to tell this thing. First and foremost thing is there is no more hidden thing in this world except the Godliness. Many times most of us feel that To know divine is very tedious task. But with certain level of teachings and guidance it is an easy way to initialize the inner quest of What God is and Christ exactly initialized that thing only. The present christian preachings also follows that same strategy and initializes the quest of Truth.

Second Jesus wanted to say that seeking divine is the only way to exit from the problems of life. If we know what is God in fact which is true then we will understand the nature and form of all living beings and further we will live in inner harmony otherwise called PEACE as termed by Christ. So nothing but Seeking God is Seeking Truth.

Way back Human mind is rolling with heavy problems. Amidst his cries and worries he is in need of some one who can solve the problems, who can relieve him from the worries, who can act like a friend and advice. He find an invisible support "The God" When Christ found the human are not exactly relying on the True GOD for this, he said "Seek the Truth".

Jesus being a person who really enjoyed finding the Truth and who understood it cannot be preached like what is the form of Divinity, Where is he etc., etc., and it can be known only through everyones inner search itself termed this "Seek unto the Truth and Ye Shall Realize it"

Understanding God - The Supreme Oneness

It is my long time dream to know who is the Eternal God. The superior power we worship for our day to day needs, to satisfy ourselves, to solve our purposes. Is the god in a form like human being. Is the God called Bhagawan Krishna as per the Bhagavad Gita or Jehovah as called in the Bible. What did the religious preachers talk about God. What did actually Jesus Talk about his heavenly father? What is the concept of God in buddhism? My this quest doesn’t started recently but so long ago when I started asking people How GOD WILL LOOK LIKE. I was mythical, but my quest on to see GOD raised like anything. It went depp into reading books, studying meditation and yoga, studying Zen Principle, marrying a Christian girl and by the way knowing about the Christianity and what it teaches and much more about Gnostics and etc.,

Who is GOD? The argument continues in the world. Where is he? Does he have any form? These are common questions which arises for a man who is in search of GOD. I have learn’t something and I want to share that thoughts with everybody in this blog. My studies is something different, comparing the whole mysticism of the world. Hope that would be interesting for you all.
