Some thoughts about the Divine

Some thoughts about the Divine, God, eternal truth, or the many names by which it is called. Why think about God? Thinking about something gives us an opportunity to use our own intelligence, to arrive at more clarity about any given topic, isn’t it. Intelligence is the greatest gift of God. To use it instead of believing something blindly is not a sin. Do not let others mislead ourselves into believing that.Thinking about something need not necessarily mean coming up with the right answer. It could also mean bringing more clarity to understanding something and to even bring more clarity to the fact that “we don’t know” Truly knowing that we don’t know something rather than believing something somebody tells us brings in immense scope for learning.After God, it is the human intelligence which is the most powerful tool in creation as we know it. Unfortunately many religions classify free thinking as blasphemy. The majority of society does not encourage free thinking and free communication in individuals because it could upset social conditionings and power hierarchies.One of the greatest blessings of the intellect is the “I don’t know” factor. It is the single reason for all the development of mankind. If one stays long enough with the “I don’t know”, the bliss of the void will dawn on him. On the other hand the “I know” factor, closes all doors immediately. The “I know” is loaded with data all second hand stuff, which is burdening in its very nature and shutting out all possibilities at the same time.What I is the nature of God?God is restfulness, an abode of rest no striving for anything.God is peacefulness, no troubles or agitations only peace.God is wakefulness, no drowsiness, nor fatigue in God only wakeful energy.God is timeless, time is a narrow concept within himGod is spaceless meaning space is a concept within him.God is all encompassing, meaning he encompasses both good and badGod is impartial meaning he does not differentiates between good and bad. No favourites.God is bountiful meaning that everything is available in him.God is intelligence because his intelligence is continuously creating the myriad universes.God is beingness, because his beingness fills the whole existenceGod is purity, because nothing can touch his purity he is neither good nor evilGod is presence, because he is present here and now always, there is no time and space where he is not.Because he is present everywhere always, God is the self, he is the self of all beings the I in you and the I in me and in every other being. Other than God there is no I.God is the energy, the action the doer, the fruit of the work and the enjoyment of the fruit.God is lightweight, he does not carry burdens because for him there is no past or future only presentGod is freedom because he is not matter and not burdened nor restricted by it. Matter is a narrow concept in him.God is available because he is everywhere at all time and one does not have to do anything to access him.God is hidden, because he is understood to be other than what he is, and projected with all the limitations of human beings.Most of all God is hidden because he is made into a conceptual object, whereas he is always the eternal subject the knower.To be continued because God is unlimited
