General Forum: Religion | | God is shapeless, invisible, omnipotent, omnipresent, irrelegious.....U agree? | |
| Where is GOD ?
Once an inquisitive devotee asked a realized saint, “Bhagavan, what is the form of God? Where does he live and where can I find him?”
The saint said, “God is everywhere and is all pervading. He is blissful, omniscient and immortal and He is your own self”. The devotee asked, “If it is so, why do I not perceive and have an experience of Him?” The saint replied, “As the God is all pervading, He is within your own mind as well but your mind is not in Him. Your mind is engrossed in the world.”
The saint in many ways tried to make him understand the existence of God but the devotee could not comprehend and realize God. The saint then told him, “Go to Haridwar, there in Ganga, there is a fish of a strange colour and it can speak in the voice of human beings. The fish will give you an appropriate answer to your question”.
The inquisitive devotee bowed to the saint, touched his feet and started on his way to Haridwar. There he sat down in a corner and began to wait for the arrival of the strange fish. Whenever he saw any fish he repeated his question and asked where God lived and how could he see Him?
After sometime the strange fish came and asked the devotee “where from have you come?” The devotee replied, “A saint asked me to see you and I want to know where does God live and how can I see Him?” The fish said to him, “I am thirsty for the last seven days. So tell me where I can get water from.”
On listening to the words of the fish, the devotee laughed and said, “Oh foolish one, water is above you, below you, it is on your right, on your left and there is water on all you sides”.
When the devotee spoke like this, the fish became serious and said, “Oh, you innocent devotee. You are also foolish like me. God whom you are searching is above you, below you, on your right, on your left, and in brief he is on all your sides.
The devotee was a bit satisfied and said, “If so, why am I unable to see the blissful God and why am I so miserable?” The fish said, “The same is my question. If water is on all my sides why is my thirst not quenched?
The devotee knew the construction of the body of the fish and knew that so long as the fish swam straight with its face upward, no water can enter its mouth. To quench its thirst the fish has to swim upside down. If the construction of the body of the fish is not been like this, water can enter its body freely and it will die. So the devotee advised the fish to take a turn upside down to quench its thirst.
The fish then said to the devotee, “As we have to take a turn to quench our thirst, you should also take a turn to see God. Turn away from the desires to see God. In other words, when you turn the flow of the thoughts of your mind from the world to the blissful omniscient God, then all your sorrows will come to an end. The devotee did accordingly and realized his real Self.

See, you have grown only in age and body as your photo shows but your brain is still there...at a lunatic level!
Why do you believe those scans and imagery?
I am asking one simple question and they sound stupid to you! By the same token, your questions sound stupid and illogical to me.
I again as you the question...
Have you seen your medula oblongata, your cyber cortex with your own eyes?
If you so blindly believe in that technology that is showing your pea sized brain...why can't you believe in God when I say he is there because I felt him?
Let me ask you one more question...
Have you seen your damn face with your own eyes... I mean have your eyes come out of your body for a micro second and took a look at you?What is the proof that you look just the same way in real life too? Again not a reflection in the mirror. Remember the mirror is a man made invention just like you call God as man's invention or creation.
Stupid is one who(like you) thinks he is posing some intelligent questions but is dwarfed in answering questions as fundamentally simple as mine.
What do you mean by live on monitor screen?
Can you explain to me the time and space continuum?
Yes, I criticize people because they appear to me as either "Not thinking before they talk" or "they definitely do not know what they just said"! In your case, you definitely should be criticized as strongly and persistently as one can.
With your advancing age, you seem to be becoming more illogical and probably immature. Are you having a mid life crisis?
I will not say the questions that you put are wrong or bad! I am in IT and you are in IT. Knowledge does not end with compilers and programming languages. You are caught in that rut.
Let me know the answers to these questions that I posed? Don't tell me cock and bull stories which seems to be your only forte!
Once you can convince your self with these answers...then you can your self see God in every damn thing! Otherwise, you can see endless futile discussions like this.
If you still see stupidity in the questions..then take a Hike!
Finally, spell check ...you do not say Keep Quite...you should say Keep Quiet.And, I urge you to keep quiet on this topic

//
Did you rip open your skull & see that there is a brain.
I don't want to know about other human beings.
I want to know about you whose name is Kumar.
So, Did you verify that in a biological lab any time.
What makes you think that you also have a heart and brain just because some one else has?
//
Are these the questions u asked ..is there any logic in these questions..?
I already told that ..there r lot of technologies like MRI Scan,Ultra sound and lot more..through which I can each and every part inside my body live on monitor screen ..which is enough for me to believe me that I hv the same which I saw in biological lab..
CAN U SHOW ME WHICH PART OF THE BODY I HAVE TO SCAN TO FIND GOD??? NEVER..U CAN'T..
I was not evading ur questions Mr CC ..I found them very stupid ..And I saw u critizing others also in other discussion boards..I thought u have the habbit of unnecessarily criticizing others without any logic..
If u dont want to answer my questions..keep quite ..no need to answer..I can also start crticizing..

You evade answers to basic questions, and you want to know about other's souls and God.
