Guest guest Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 "If you pose a question as to "Where is God?" some people will say, "He is in me", pointing to their body. Body is not permanent. Hence, this is not a proper answer. When I say the flower is in My hand, the flower is smaller than Me. In the same manner, when you say God is in you, you are bigger than God! In fact, the whole world is in the hands of God. Hence, it is not proper to say that God is in you. You are in God. All are in God. The world itself is a manifestation of God. This is the Transcendental Truth. This is the changeless truth. - From Swami's 2003 Shivarathri Discourse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Sairam,Reading this discourse.............. and the last few lines: it is not proper to say that God is in you. You are in God. All are in God. The world itself is a manifestation of God. This is the Transcendental Truth. This is the changeless truth.So my questing is then why is the title You are not in God, God is in you........... should it not be saying You are in God. God is not in you...........(??) MY second question is this too. I have always understood that God resides in our body...........so our body is a temple so there for we should try to please God by being good humanbeings and try to do good deeds and live our life as to please God. then reading the discourse .............. why is it not that God is in us too .........and we are in God.Can some one please share this with me ? make me understand this discourse? Thank you.Sairam kumar mahadevan <mahadevan12 wrote: "If you pose a question as to "Where is God?" some people will say, "He is in me", pointing to their body. Body is not permanent.
