To Know God

Hi, How do we know GOD.Because our Dad and Mom introduced to us.Our teachers explained a little.People in happiness shared it and people in sorrow threatened us with it.God, where is he.How is he.Will he hear us.Can we hear him.So many questions are put forward.Be it any faith,all make things as complex as possible.To be very frank in this materialistic world God is also being subjected to make money by millions.Please do not add me to them because Im writing here. For me all children upto 3 years are god. Later on they are poisoned to their respective faiths.History has shown us how faiths were forced upon.Iam not here to comment.To know God know yourself .First assess yourself.If you are good person continue.If you are a bad person try to rectify,after all we know this is going to be our final chance to live this world.I donot beleive in rebirths etc..Only greed and dishonesty has taken mankind far away from god.We can and have to correct this social habit for we have only one life to live with. We see in today world people of various faiths follow one spiritual person or other. The reason behind it can be termed to herd mentality.When my neighbor got so much by following,can't I be too benefited.When blind following happens anywhere, it will lead to scams,hope you agree.We always feel a change if we go to a discourse ,a prayer meeting or that sort of meetings.We feel relieved from tension etc. If we had done in our home we could have got the same benefit.In this lazy world we never do things of our own.We know many things but we donot practice.God has also become one such thing.Only if there is a compulsion we suddenly think about god. Most of us think of him in Deep depression,sudden sorrows,Ill health. Who cares to bother god when he or she of any age when they are happy. If you are happy or sad God is always within you.you only by oversight miss to identify him.Try to sit in a comfortable position,if you feel like lying down do so.There are no rules.Close you eyes.Think of nothing.Not even you children.Be there for 15 minutes in a state of emptiness .Prefer dark rooms with no sound to start with..Practice this for 15 days, you will see your god.Im 100% sure.I have done it before.Now I do not need 15 minutes.1 minute is enough for me to see my god, your god or his god. for me god is a almighty .When you see him within you the joy,really knows no bounds.You feel like a just born baby.Feeling of childhood,where you ran like a hare,flew like a bird, swam like a fish will be felt.How bad you are, how worst you are God will always love you.When you feel god try to other poor souls to make to reach it.Again one thing is certain, we are somehow born in this world,let us make our stay comfortable.A smiling face gets one.When you have inner peace nothing can shake you. Nothing can make you sad.When you are clear in mind you see a different world.Im just a good friend wishing you all success.

All religions say the same thing.NO man can look upon God. Philosophers have noted that our perception of God is ourselves as we would like to be. Our highest ideals. Our perception of the devil is how we would not like to be, our lowest concepts of ourselves. I believe the best way to know God is to first, talk to him. Whether he answers in manner we can understand is moot. The second, try to live like God,as best we can see him/her. Be the highest we can envision.

the relationship of a person with God is a very personal one and each person may have a different way of communicating with God, a different way of worshipping, a different way of expressing his faith, etc different from another person. One maymbe very demonstrative about it and may want to be with others to express his faith and worship God while another may wish to do it all by his lonesome in a quiet and dark room praying silently to God. Whatever its, loud or silent prayer or worship, what is important is that each person has faith in God, bel;ieves in God and His teachings and applies them to his life and dealings with others. You have your own way and i may have my own way and still another may have his own way of expressing his fAITH AND BELIEF IN gOD BUT IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU OR I OR HIM CAN CLAIM THAT HIS WAY IS THE PROPER WAY. Let us respect each other's style of worship and prayer. this is just one way of applying the teachings of the Lord. God Bless.
