People discuss spirituality with me. They try to get an inkling of what
God is. There are millions of spiritual and religious books which at the end
are non conclusive about God.
How have I tried to understand the concept? Let me share it .
God to me is the most subtle element. Let us take two men. Both are
made up of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen. These in turn are made up of
protons neutrons and electrons. If you further split them then we get sub
atomic particles. If we continue the process we will land up with the most basic element. But even this needs space to exist. So space is the basic
support of all existence. Ever thought of spaceless-ness? The concept is not
conceivable, for we exist in it. But it is also an element. The fishes cannot
think of existing without water, for they are born in it, and occupy it. But we
can, because we are outside of it. Suppose we do not occupy space, then maybe
we can have an idea. Just like space supports all matter, God supports space
and many elements not yet comprehended by us. So if are able to remove all
things what would be the last left over would be God.
There has been the discovery of the God particle, which describes the
concept in a similar fashion.
Then how to realize God? It is in and as everything. But it eludes us. For
we are used to noticing the obvious and not the subtle. We will notice tall
buildings, the deep sea, but not notice the space they occupy. So here is the
challenge. How to go about it?
Suppose I asked you, how much money I had with me, you would not know,until
I showed or revealed to you. So also we cannot realize God till it reveals itself
to us.
So what is the practice, to realize. It is simple: just sit and wait
till it happens. Sit everyday, and give it quality time. Carry the feel with you
through out your waking hours. Let it also be last thought in your mind before
you drift off to sleep,so that it works at your subconscious level With regular practice, there is a possibility. I do not
think you need to do anything more. Just practice and abide your time. And of course first accept God as you Guide and your Master.
