How can one define God😇?

Well we cannot limit God to any definitions, formula or any dogma. The mind tries to limit things by defining them. But God is the Origin of everything and dwells in everything as their essence. He is the Origin of Mind as well hence the mind cannot define or understand God.

However by realising God one can understand everything in its essence including the mind itself! Though God can be experienced either directly by identifying with Him or felt indirectly through His manifestations (Qualities, Avatars, Yogis, Vibhutis etc) yet no experience of God can be complete.

He is at once with infinite qualities as well as without qualities, formless yet assumes forms, nameless yet has countless names. He is All Good yet evil too is His mask, He is Light and Beauty and Peace and Truth and Force and Bliss yet He is hidden even in Your experience is your experience. You have used a method a way it came to you but you cannot convert it into a convenient formula for everybody, that is how religions are formed. Thus God remains the Unknowable Indefinable ultimate Reality and yet it is possible and even given to man to know something of His Mystery by a progressive identification with His Reality through esoteric Yoga.

Affectionately,

There are stories of Rishis who lost control over anger or sexual impulse.  What is important is to realise that the mind, even at its best is a limited instrument with …

Social drinking 🥂is common among young people who drink occasionally, very responsibly without harming health or life in general or getting addicted to alcohol. So is this kind of responsible drinking ok? What is your advice? What if the person is a non believer and is not seeking spiritual life? And just wants to live well on earth

Believing or not believing is not an issue. The question is why does a person drink? In the absence of faith one uses reason to navigate his life. That is after all the big difference between an animal driven by…

I don’t feel like do anything. It seems that aspiration and will are being exhausted. Earlier, there was so much devotion, there was aspiration and there was a desire for progress, but now only destruction is visible on all sides. Why are there so many difficulties😥? Mind, vital, physical all are creates obstacles. Neither to study nor to make efforts, no one can do it. Without any reason the mind doubts. As this is his habit. The automatic sees any thing and suddenly judge it. I am not experiencing anything and it feels like I am not progressing. One thing has happened during this, I have realized that the evil that is in everyone’s heart is also in my heart. Why does this happen and what should I do in this situation?

These are phases that come in every seekers life because there are many parts and aspects in us. That is why taking to spiritual life too early especially during adolescence is not very desirable as the challenges are many. It is only when we have gone through the experiences of life keeping the …
