Wisdom Material | Q & A on Meditation
|
| Question: What is God? Does He exist? |
Sirshree:God is pure consciousness, awareness. God is Self. God in Rest is pure awareness. To express itself, to know itself, consciousness manifested itself as creation. God is Consciousness in action. Consciousness is when awareness is aware of itself.
All this may sound confusing. Understand that God is consciousness. For now, knowing that is enough. To begin with - some words are necessary, some concepts are necessary. As you listen more to your Guru with faith, all this becomes clear. |
| Question:Who created God? |
Sirshree:To know the answer, ask yourself, "Whether God can die". He cannot. So if something cannot die, it can never be created. God was always. God is. He will be. There is only God and nothing else. |
| Question:Then, when did the God who is unborn create this world? |
Sirshree:"When the world was created?" - this question is to do with time. But the concept of time came after the world was created. Then, how is it possible to give an answer using a concept that came later? Or understand it this way - that the world was created when time started. What "was" before time is actually what is important. Because that which was before time always existed, exists and will always exist. |
| Question:The one who is faceless, timeless, spaceless - is he God? |
Sirshree:Yes. He is God. Allah, God, Eeshwar, Sakshi, Witnessor, Peace, Silence, Super Consciousness, Sat Chit Anand - many names have been given. |
| Question:How to attain God? |
Sirshree:When all false notions, beliefs, (manyata) about yourself are dissolved - you attain Him. Your Guru destroys your beliefs. So identify a true Guru, go to him, have faith on him, listen to him. Go to one who has attained God and you too will.
But this sounds as if you have to take a lot of efforts to attain God. No efforts. Just Grace… |
