Poetry: God is the nothing of nothing

@innertalks Ah...you agree.. when we get something we want ..suddenly we get that much closer to god or more of believers. LOL. I feel I am mean with god. LOL. I believe in Sai Baba, because he makes a lot of sense to me. He is not god per se, more like a saint, and he openly refers to himself as not being god but only a believer of god, which is why he is so believable. To me, he is the channel for fulfilling my wishes and my link to god. If he believes in god, there must be a grain of truth in that. Good thing is, he believes in all gods saying all are one. I like that because it matches with my thinking.

@vandana7 I guess you mean the first Sai Baba of Shirdi. I do not know if he would agree with my poem, or not. "There is a wall of separation between oneself and others, and between you and me. Destroy this wall!" Shirdi Sai Baba, said this. I would change it too: There is nothing between oneself and others, and between you and me. See this nothing! And yet, perhaps, we are both saying the same thing, just coming at it from different directions.

@innertalks Yes, Shirdi Sai Baba. He possibly referred to us being selfish and not trusting others. I also think we interpret the words as per our experiences. Every bad experience our opinion gets tilted towards what we feel would be right for us. Others may differ naturally either because they did not face the same situations or differ in experience. Therefore, abstract quotes are difficult to decipher until we know the context in which they were uttered. It can happen that in different context the words uttered would seem contradictory to the words uttered in the first instance.

We can let go of separateness if we see that nothing divides us, or really ever causes us to be so separated. Yes, embracing all, destroys separateness, and none of it is left. Nothing becomes nothing for us again too then, without our adding any extras to it, from our creating a separateness for ourselves, from it.

@Shiva49 The problem is though, problems do affect us individually, and separately. If I was blind, this would be a big blow to my life, and would affect me individually, so our body itself, is a separate body, not a part of the whole as such, functioning autonomously, so it can be burnt once the real us leaves it. It is our soul, that is a part of God, and which connects us to every other living embodied soul too. For all intents and purposes here though, we can't really prove that our soul exists, so life can feel pretty separated for us at times.

@innertalks Yes, soul is more of inner knowing, prompt, that is tough to prove to the skeptics. The believers are like "don't confront us with facts, science". Some are physically challenged and it is tough to see that they also enjoy what the normally endowed people take it as their right. We are not born equal in many ways. However it is up to us to find our own destiny here with the right attitude bringing into play our hidden talents too.

@innertalks What a wonderful entity God is! Here is something to think about. Galatians 6:3 (KJV) 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

@kanuck1 Thanks, Ken. I like that verse; it sort of agrees with the sentiment of what I said too. We are nothing without God, who makes our nothing something for him, from his love working its wonders in us, for him.

Ha, ha, me too. I always want to obtain something from nothing, or something for nothing, and perhaps most of us are like that, bargain-hunters too. God gives all for nothing, his only price is a ticket into Heaven, if we love him sufficiently so, which really costs us nothing to do either.

What about to love? With love, the cycle is not needed at all. The cycle is of the mind, love is of the heart, which never needs to know, to understand, to believe, nor to accept to love. God is just God. All the rest he leaves to us. God does not believe, nor understand, nor accept, nor know. He just is love too. So nothing is needed to be added to nothing to have everything.

@DocAndersen Yes, it sure is. Love is the mother of all of the other emotions too.

@innertalks to put above you is to love! love is so different than the other human emotions.
