The unimaginable God

[Guest guest]

It is a good point that not only God is unimaginable

but also

The inseparable characteristics of God are also

unimaginable.

 

Swami: The unimaginable God is called as Brahman

Or Jehovah or Allah, beyond the space & time

If the characteristics of God are imaginable, then

Brahman becomes imaginable, if the sunlight is seen

The sun is seen, neither Brahman nor its

characteristics

Are unknown, then only Brahman is totally unknown.

The unimaginable nature or the inexplicability of

Brahman

Is called as Maya, Gita says “ Mayinamtu Maheswaram”

It means that the Lord or God possesses the power Maya

 

The sunlight is Maya and the Lord is the Sun.

Therefore no one can catch God or His total power,

Maya,

If you catch Maya it means you have caught Brahman.

The sun may hide behind a black cloud

You may see a little light coming through the cloud

You can not say that you have seen the original full

sun light

In which case you will see the sun also

simultaneously.

You saw only a little sunlight filtered through the

cloud,

By that you have known simply the existence of sun

In a particular cloud only, in the sky several black

clouds exist.

Similarly the Lord hides in a particular human form

only

And sends out a little Maya seeing which you can

decide

That the Lord is in that particular human being only,

Where as the other human beings are ordinary people

only.

You have not seen the full Maya of the Lord

In which case you will see the Lord simultaneously

You can not bear the vision of full Maya and

simultaneous Lord

You can not see the sun with His original shinning

light

 

When God enters the human body in the incarnation

God mixes a little of His inexplicability or Maya

With a characteristic of the human body so that

The imaginable characteristic of the human body

becomes

A little unimaginable, which can be called as

wonderful.

The word wonderful indicates a little higher state

than

Explicability and much lower state than full

inexplicability.

It is like the roof of a house, which is higher than

the floor

But much lower than the sky, you can grasp it

And at the same time can not understand it.

For example the human body has an explicable

characteristic

Called as “ Lifting power” by lifting a suitable

stone.

The boy Krishna can lift a small stone, which is

Explicable characteristic of the body boy, the nature,

Nature or Prakruti is explicable by your analysis.

A crane can lifts a small mountain, it is also

explicable

But the boy lifted the hill on his finger, this is

wonderful,

Because the lifting of mountain is grasped by you

Since you can imagine the crane lifting the hill.

But little inexplicability comes when the boy lifts

the hill

The boy, little lifting power of boy, crane lifting

the hill,

All these are explicable signs of the nature, fully

grasped

Among these explicable concepts only one concept lies

Which is inexplicable that is the boy lifting the hill

Assuming that the power of the crane is in the boy,

Can that tender body withstand that much power?

The material of work is metal in the crane, it can

withstand,

But the body is a tender flower, how it withstood?

One inexplicable point mixed with several explicable

points

Is called as wonder, it is a diluted inexplicability.

The full inexplicability is unbearable to human

beings.

Even this wonder causes so much anxiety and thrill,

Some times it leads to the failure of the heart by

shock.

Can anyone withstand the full inexplicability, if

shown?

If Krishna stands by uplifting the entire earth on his

finger,

The devotee will collapse with the shock of surprise.

He showed the entire world in His mouth to His mother

She could not withstand the vision and became

unconscious.

The most confusing point in that vision is that

She along with Krishna is also found in His mouth!

The scene of vision and the entire site is in His

mouth!!

He showed the entire cosmos within His body to Arjuna

The cosmic energy will burn the eye sight of Arjuna

Therefore He gave the inner divine sight by which only

Arjuna could see the entire Electro magnetic spectrum,

 

Which is in the form of the world, energy in the units

of matter.

Therefore the Lord shows tolerable miracles only,

Which you can see even with your physical eyes.

Miracles are wonderful, which are diluted

inexplicabilities.

When you see a vision, you become shocked with

excitement

As long as you believe the vision is true, the shock

continues.

To save the devotee, a doubt in the mind of the

devotee arises

By which he thinks that whether the vision is

illusion.

This doubt neutralizes the shock and arose by His will

only

In Gita the Lord says “ Mattah Smrutih Jnanam”, which

means

That the same Lord gives true knowledge and also the

doubt.

Jnanam or knowledge is the imaginable sign of the

human body.

When the Lord entered into the human body in

incarnation,

A little of His inexplicability or Maya enters jnanam.

Now His knowledge becomes wonderful, which is both

Understandable and little unimaginable, hence

wonderful.

Such divine knowledge is Prajnanam or special

knowledge.

The Upasarga or suffix “Pra” means wonderful

specialty.

This will help you to detect the existence of His

place.

Veda says “Asti Ityeva” which means, “only existence

is known”.

Thus devotee who believes Him knows him a little.

This little awareness of God is the experience of God

You can not experience the full nature of God, because

 

You can not withstand the quantitative aspect of His

Maya

You have tasted a little water from the sea and you

can tell

That the sea is saltish, that is sufficient since you

tasted the sea.

The entire sea cannot and need not be swallowed by you

to say

That the sea is saltish, the qualitative conclusion is

same

Whether you taste a drop or the entire ocean itself.

You can know through the miracle that God is

inexplicable.

You need not understand the entire quantity of His

power,

Which is impossible and you can not withstand it.

Veda says “ Satyam Jnanam Anantam Brahma”, it means

That the special knowledge of the Lord is infinite.

The devotee can never receive that entire special

knowledge

After receiving a little special knowledge, he can

conclude

That His special knowledge is infinite and

unimaginable.

A person who took a tumbler of water from the sea-

And a person who took a pot of water from the sea-

Both can say that the sea is infinite.

Let the tumbler not think that the pot has swallowed

the whole sea,

Let the pot not be proud that the tumbler has not

taken even a drop.

Let the scholar not think that he received entire

knowledge,

Let him not think that ignorant people have no

knowledge.
