Note
How to know God :
.
Our
life on earth is chiefly dependent on the sun. It gives us
light and life . If for a second the blessing
of the sun were withdrawn from us, everything
would die on the face of the earth. However , it
is impossible for us to get very close to the sun, impossible to
go directly to it. If we do so , the sun, the same source of light
and life, will burn us away. We are too weak to bear the direct heat and
light of the powerful sun. But the sun gives its energy
, heat, light
and
life to us through the medium of its rays. The rays of the sun connect
us to the sun.
.
God
, the Almighty , the Creator , the Omnipotent , is immeasurably
greater than what we
can
imagine. He is the " Unknowable Essence " . How can we
reach Him through our own efforts? We will get burnt
by trying to get too near to the sun. How can we then ever
hope to be able to reach God, the Creator of all things - the All Glorious,
the Most High? We cannot
go
to Him but He can reach out to us . the sun sends its
energies to us through its rays. God's guidance and glory comes to
us through His Manifestations like Krishna
, Christ
, Mohammed
and Baha'u'llah.
the Manifestation of God are the only means which
can
take us to Him . Had it not been for Them, our world
would have
remained
dark and our lives would have been dead indeed.
,
If
we recognize the Manifestation
of God, we have recognized
God . If we deny Them, we have denied God.
