Acharya Shree, you know and have realized God, how is that God the same or different from the God most people believe in?
God is God. What people believe, that God is not different the God I realized.
Because, God is not a person, first of all. If it is a person it can be a different shape.
Like, if God is a person and it come in the western countries, it might be wearing something different, or
go to the eastern country, it might be wearing different, uh, shirts or different pants, or different thing.
Different dress. But if God is not a person, God is just a realization. God is not a thing, first of all.
Because, thing you can touch, you can smell, you can see it. But God you cannot see it.
God is just a, if I will compare it, it is like a light. And light is not that light, what people know.
When you realize God, and whoever realized God, it's the same God.
It is not, like, one person realized different way, or other person realized different God. God is same,
because it is like a light. Light will be same. And when light is same, whoever will realize God,
will realize the same light. And, first of all, God is perfect, is pure, is purest. That's what I don't see that God is a thing.
Or, God is a person. If we try to put, God is a person, we'll be very limited. And God is beyond everything.
And it is, like, infinite. It's like everywhere. It's like a knowing power, it knows all things, whatever, whole galaxies,
wherever galaxies are, millions of galaxies. It's knowing power is infinite.
So, the God, first of all is not a thing, because it is, cannot be touched. It can be realized only.
God is realization, and realization is like bliss. When you realize God, you are in the bliss, otherwise you cannot even realize God.
So, first of all you have to go beyond your sukha and dukha; sukha is happiness, dukha is suffering.
And God is beyond that. And when God is beyond that, it means it is in eternal bliss, and eternal bliss, you have to be
realizing that state. First of all, you have to, uh, you have to try yourself to lift yourself high, and high, and higher.
And in that higher state, you can realize God, because, it is like bliss, and when bliss is realized, then you know that God,
that no matter, the people are believing it, because they didn't see yet, they didn't realize yet,
I don't want to use word see, because you cannot see God. You can just realize it.
When you realize it, it is like just you are in the bliss. And everyone, all the people in the world, they believe in God.
That's what I say, God is one. They, if people in western countries they believe in God, their God is not different than eastern countries.
Because once realization happen it is same. It is, like, uh, the ocean. Ocean is no matter where you taste it, it will be like salty.
No matter milk, you taste, no matter where you are, it will taste the same. You drink the water, drinkable water, is same.
So, it finish your thirst. So, no matter who drinks it, it finishes his thirst, no matter animal, no matter people, no matter human,
the human from China, or from India, or from America, or from Canada. So, the water will finish your thirst.
You're thirsty, it will finish your thirst.
So, God, my God, what I realized, is not different from people's God. People just believing in. They have to lift themselves a little bit higher.
Then they will know what God is. God is beyond all these things. God is not, like, it will, God is not like a bias, like somebody will pray to God,
and it will finish his suffering, or shortcoming, or his problems it will solve. No.
And somebody doesn't pray, it doesn't solve their problem, or if somebody doesn't pray to God, God will punish them. No.
God is beyond all of that. First of all, you have to think, we are in this world, why we are in this world? There are two seeds.
Two seeds keeping us in this world. First is raga, second is dvesha.
Raga is kind of attachment, and dvesha is like hatred.
These two seeds, if we finish those two seeds there will not be a tree of suffering or pain.
Because these are the seeds which go the tree of suffering and pain. So, if we can go beyond that, if we can
finish, if we can dissolve our raga and dissolve our dvesha, so, we are not far from God.
So, God can be realized as long, as soon as those two seeds are dissolved. But they need to be dissolved fully.
It is not like, you dissolve them, you just work on your attachment a little bit and you can realize God? No.
You have to, in order to realize God, you have to fully dissolve it. You have to fully dissolve your hate. Then you
will realize God. When they are 100% dissolved, God is not far from you. God is just not even one inch away from you.
It is the closest phenomenon. Just needs to be realized, and once you realized, God is same, like water is same.
Milk is same. So, it is, the sky is same, no matter which country you go. It looks like the same, it's blue.
So, once it is realized, is no difference. So, I always suggest people, just to realize it. Do it special sadhana, do it special practices.
Go deep into it. Go deep into your consciousness. It is not the outer phenomenon, it is inner phenomenon. Once it is realized
by inner phenomenon, by your own sadhana, then it is same for everyone.
So I strongly tell people, that God is one, it is same, no matter who realized it, you will realize the same God.
