Guest guest Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Is it proper to say that `I am in God'? Or should I say that `God is in me'? Which of the two is appropriate? Our scripture says, `sarvam vis n umayam jagat,' God is all pervasive. He encompasses the entire Universe. 'Vasudevas sarvamiti', `is'avasyamidagm sarvam' are our scriptural dicta. They make it very clear that the entire cosmos is in Him. It is correct to say that you are in God. It is not correct to say that God is in you. Of course, when the whole universe is in Him, naturally you are in Him. How? A small example. You are holding in your hand a rose flower. It means that the rose flower is small and you are big. Since God is infinite, the world is in Him. But, if you put it in the reverse order by saying that God is in you, you become bigger than God. This is not a proper feeling. You are a spark of that divine. mamaivaáms o ` jivaloke jivabhutah sanatanah', says the Gita. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
