VAGDEVI SPIRITUAL PROCESS [#17183] THE SEARCH OF THE GOD

Leave a Comment

Just as we search for the God, the God also searches for the entities in the universe that may enable Him to express Himself. In fact, we also have a constant desire to feel that ‘we are’ or ‘we exist’. For some of us it may be a very casual desire to stand before a mirror, and for a few others, it may be a strong need to know ‘who am I’. The scriptures say that the God does not need anything, and hence has no desires, but those, especially the ancient Indian philosophy, does not rule out the presence of some kind of desire that the God has. It argues that there must have been some kind of desire of the God that made Him create the universe. If the God, the most powerful entity in the world, does have desires to fulfill, He, like us, may be interested in expressing Himself. A strong argument in favor of this assumption is that the God, being the creator of this universe, may love to look after His creation ever remaining close to His creation.


We human beings, the superior most living beings on the planet earth, have all the qualifications to become the entities through whom the God may like to act and express Himself. The ancient Indian scriptures are the source of knowledge about repeated rebirths in various life forms, the ultimate being that of being born as human beings when the man gets the freedom and opportunity to prepare himself for salvation, the blissful state of permanent union with the God.

The God, the creator of the universe, is also believed to be the one who maintains it and has the wisdom of when to destroy it when it becomes necessary. Perhaps, He, himself, is the universe. When we elevate our consciousness from the level of self-consciousness to the level of universal consciousness, we become most eligible candidates through whom the God will love to express Himself. When this happens, we develop within ourselves a part of those kinds of powers that help us in all such thoughts and actions that are for the benefit of the universe.

Is it not better to understand the God as a very superior form of energy pervading in this universe to support the maintenance and destruction of this world? And, is it not better to understand the human beings as entities having many affinities with the God and having needed physical abilities to accomplish the tasks the God proposes? Just as we search for the God, the God also searches for us. The God proposes and searches for the right ones from among us to accomplish the tasks He has proposed. The sun does not revolve from the east to west; it is the earth that revolves from west to east. The objective view is that the God, not the man, who proposes. If we accomplish what the God proposes, we swim downstream with much ease.

Our search for the God is of far less consequence than the search of the God for resources that can maintain His creation in a happy and healthy state, because that is where our welfare rests. If we work upon us to qualify for the God’s selection process, we come closer to our ultimate union with the God.
