The word ‘God’ does not denominate a ’super human being’. The word ‘God’ is the most highly misunderstood word. With the Hindu philosophy becoming the part and parcel of every Indian, who lives in this country, who is born in this country, we have grown up with Gods and their idols. And we have these stories coming from Puranas, narrated by all these religious speakers who go on portraying God as a human being but not the mortal one, rather an eternal, immortal one; where God is manifested to be someone who can be appeared by prayers, by offerings and by devotions; where God is portrayed as someone who can get angry also, and who protects the one who loves him and kill those who have any enemosity either to God or to the devotees of God.

Now, in this scenario it becomes but natural for a mind to perceive unconsciously or even very consciously that we are looking for those moments when we would be able to see God visibly.

When does God become visible to us? When we can see God with our eyes, when we can hear his voice, and when we can relate to God; when God can hug us, embrace us, give us those uplifting great moments and provide us all shakti and power to do whatever we want to do.

God is always seen as a protector, because we have images of Lord Vishnu, Lord Shiva with weapons in their hands. So, we think that God being with us means, God being with us with all his weapons and ammunitions to give us all the protection, and then we can fight with anyone. And as long as we know God is with us, no one can harm us. No harm can ever come near us.

Now, if this is the definition of God, then I would say, that person is still in the kindergarten class of spirituality. The kindergarten schools are meant for small children to play. They are not taught, they are not educated, they just play. They eat their lunch, they sing a song, they dance with the teacher, become familiar with few names of birds, fruits, and a little bit of colors. This is all that they learn in the play school. The real education begins when they are enrolled in a primary school and then in a secondary school and so on; and the level of their education keeps on grading upwards. In the school of spirituality, all those statements which I made about God, that the majority of people believe in, and the majority of religious speakers are endorsing it, is a term about God, which is so kiddish, so childish and one needs to upgrade.

I always say this, ‘every one has to evolve’. Everything evolves. One day, a seed evolves into a flower, similarly, the mind too has to evolve; it really needs to go into deep, to know, to understand, to experience who God is? Who that thing is or who that person is? This is very much true that we can have this opportunity; we can have this bridge with God where we get our guidance, where we get our clarity of mind, where we get our ability to make right decisions and put those decisions into actions also. But the source whom we are saying is God has to be understood very well. Now, this cannot be understood theoretically, because when theories are used to make point, there will always be other theories to counter those points, to oppose those points.

Theist and Atheist have always been fighting on the level of arguments. They have their own arguments and the truth is that non-believers always win. It is never the believers because the believers go on talking about words and theories. God is like a theory, God is like a belief. But when a non-believer speaks, he is speaking from all these adversities and unfortunate calamities happening in the world. So, they are the living witness to prove that there is no one called God. If there would had been, then what about all problems, injustice, catospheries, diseases and sick people, who find fun in killing billions of people. So, it is always the believers who finally get defeated.

So, I would say that we do not have to move into the words or theories, and neither do we need to prove the existence of God through argumentation. I am not going to do that.

To know ‘what God is’ you will have to move within, you will have to take out time for yourself. Before you start your office job or before you indulge in your worldly activities, schedule a time slot when you can be with yourself. Now, how can one be with oneself is again an another very important question. And the answer is that you need to meditate. Now, again how to meditate? What’s the right way to meditate? People around the globe are learning meditation with the help of my cds and tapes. You can do it at your home, or the best would to be participate in the meditation retreat that is conducted every year. Be participant to one of these meditation camps, where you learn to meditate, where you sit in meditation, and where you get answers to your questions pertinent to sessions or meditation techniques, which are taught and experienced.

Moreover, the most important answer for you now is that this meditativeness will give you the glimpse of God. Now, this glimpse will not be something, which I would be giving you or any projected idea created by your mind. You cannot view God. You cannot see God. You cannot make him an object of your appreciation. You can be one with God. The more meditative you become, the more you feel closer to God. And then this closeness one day will end into merging with God. Being one with God and not being a person who is just viewing God.
