God and Me

So how do I relate to the God?

As human beings, we are capable of having positive and negative thoughts. I am not very sure about the other living beings, but I think they too have similar abilities considering many of them are living on this earth since much before that we do. I believe that the positive thoughts translate into positive energy (God) and negative thoughts into negative energy (Satan).  

And here goes the boldest statement I have ever made - Whatever we do or think, contributes to these two polarities in the world, so effectively we - all the living beings - constitute God or Satan.

If we can rise up to a certain level, we can gain control (or maybe I should say 'share control') over other things in this world. And that's not for exhibition, its for a purpose.

ॐ भद्रं कर्णेभिः शृणुयाम देवाः |

भद्रं पश्येमाक्षभिर्यजत्राः |

स्थिरैरन्गैस्तुष्टुवासस्तनुभिः   |

व्यशेम देवहितं यदायुः | 

Meaning: O Lord, let me hear good things. Let me see good things.While praising your glories, let my strong body be used for divine deeds in your name.

If you notice, most of the Sanskrit prayers have a फलश्रुती (a section that tells what you will get if you recite the prayer). When we recite this section, we strengthen the consciousness that something good will happen to anyone else who will recite the prayer. We also draw from the consciousness which has been strengthened because of so many other people.

At this point I also quote the famous line from the book The Alchemist: "when you want something, the universe conspires for it". I believe this to be true - all the living beings share a common consciousness, which actually decides what will happen to an individual and the universe as a whole. 

Not that one always needs this support - one can also sail through solely just on his own energy. But similar to the birds in sky, who fly in a formation to reduce the cumulative effort by the flock, we can reach farther if we go together.

So to conclude, God worship for me is to keep thinking and doing good. That is how I will do my part for this world. 

God

Who is God? Or what is God? I am sure one of these questions has come to everyone's mind at least once in a lifetime...

All the beings in this universe (and other universes, if proven) share a common thing - they are all made up of energy. That includes all human beings, animals, earth, the Sun, stars... pretty much everything that we can think of and then more. All the matter is manifestation of this energy. There is also some free energy like light, magnetic fields, dark energy etc.

But we use the word 'God' mostly together with words like good and bad, heaven and hell etc. I relate that with the two types of the active energy - positive and negative. All the good energies comprise of positive energy and all the bad energies comprise of negative energy. And then there is dead matter, which is neutral. It can go either ways, if influenced by either types of energies.

This positive energy can be thought of the God - or something that we are familiar with as 'God'. Consequently, the negative energy can be thought of as 'Satan'. And not surprisingly, we have heard many stories of either of them influencing dead material like stones/water/air.

Given the probability of occurring one event out of two equally probable events is half, I believe both of these energies are comparable to each other. Maybe not in this universe, where we still believe in good 'God', but when we sum them up in all the universes, they should be equal. If this is not true, it will be a partial world, and that is hardly possible. Hence at a given point of time in the fabric of time and space, God is what is prevalent at that particular point of time.

But to me, God comprises of both good and bad. It is what drives the balance between these two polarities. One such personality from Hindu mythology is Lord Shiva - he is worshiped by Asuras (demons) as well as Suras(angles). To me, God is in everything. And for me, there is a special way to worship him... which I will elaborate in my next post.
