Know Thy Lord Who Lives Not Far
For the beneficence of humans, the saints and sages have advised man innumerably to know this Almighty Formless God who is not far away. Know your Lord who is simply before you; He is not present in a particular direction nor is he confined to sky heights. This Lord is just in front of you. If someone is still unable to identify Him, it simply means he does not know this Lord yet. The welfare of man does not merely lie in gaining worldly knowledge or worldly possessions. Attaining various qualities, abilities, power or other competences also would not result in man’s salvation. The only way to attain salvation is to know this Truth, this Lord. Only with the knowledge of this multi talented, unsmeared supreme power, it is possible to refine this life and make this world a heaven. If this becomes possible, the pious feelings of love and humility will emerge in hearts and there will be peace, tranquillity and solance in the world.
Knowing Composition Alone Is Of No Use
By knowing the composition of water that it consists of two gases hydrogen and oxygen and that its formula is H2O, is not enough until and unless we see water and drink it. Knowing its composition alone is of no use. Knowing a thing merely by its name is meaningless. It is therefore obligatory to know the Formless God as to how it is omnipresent. We make guesses merely on knowing name. If water is a liquid, there are so many other things that are in liquid form, but water has its own properties. So without seeing we can only make guesses. Mostly people are worshipping God according to their perception and so confine it to limits of being up above in the sky, in a particular direction, in the caves or in jungles. So man has heard of God’s name and makes only guesses about His identity. Saints and sages have described the attributes of God in holy scriptures. When a child or adult, brother or sister devotee speaks from this stage and refers to realization of God, they point at the target because they not just discuss about the God with such attributes as described in the scriptures but have perceived and realized Him with divine vision. There are no misconceptions regarding the soul because they have known their real identity. Just like Lord Krishna explained to Arjuna that this is the right way in which soul can free itself from this cycle of birth and death.
