God

 

To a man of a average intelligence , water and ice are two different entities , but he who knows little of truth knows that ice is only a crudification form of water. Similarly , where the average man sees a big difference between a pot and the potter, the knower of God sees only oneness among them. Are the world and God two different entities or are they indivisible ? Is the difference that appears between the two truth , or illusion ? 

Whether the world and God are two entities , or the one is not different from the other - such thoughts are wrong in themselves. The knower of God feels that the world is indeed His own manifestation. He knows that all is He. From a sadhaka standpoint the distinction does not exist.

God is like a person whose surname [ Smith]. The son calls him " Father" for he sees in him the father - like manifestation ; his father is call him " son" for he sees in him the son - like manifestation ; a schoolboy calls him " sir " for he sees in him the teacher -like manifestation ; and a rickshaw puller calls him " Hey" , top hat ! for he sees his top hat as the all important thing. But in reality are all these addresses like "father" , sir , or " Hey" , top hat " . so many different person ? Actually these are the results of looking at the same person from different angles of vision.

God is the Lord of the evolved objects, He is the controller of everyone them. This very Lord moves in the womb as the embryo and when it is born, the event, in fact, should be called the birth of God because all creations are but the manifestations of God Himself. No new moon is born. The same moon is being reflected, or is having births in many receptacles. 

The union of a sadhaka with God has been expressed with an excellent example. A river , giving up its name and identity, completely merges in the sea and thereafter cannnot maintain its own existence except as the sea. Similarly, a sadhaka , after merging himself in God, can no longer thing of himself except as God. Seeing the Ganges River we can tell that it is the water of the Ganges. We can tell the water of the Yamuna River, or the water of the Sarasvati River, but once they merge in the sea, we cannot separate them, nor can we distinguish the one from the other. Neverthless they are all there. 

 He who has know God becomes God Himself, for the unity takes on the very form of his object of ideation. He who has God as his object of ideation, becomes God Himself. Similarly , if the knower of God goes to fathom God , he merges in the sea of God and becomes God Himself.
