God's Nature is made
up of octaves of Land, Water, Fire, Air, Space, Mind, Intellect, and Pride, and this
is called as Physical or Material nature. The one different Energy but which supports or maintains this
physical nature is the Life ( souls ) forms provided by Him, also known as Liquid or Spiritual nature.
All forms evolve from these two natures or energies only. God is
the source (creator) and end ( destroyer) of all the worlds and their contents. He is the constant
seed of all forms. So, nothing is superior to Him.
God pervades all things: as taste of water, light of Sun and
Moon, “Aum” the basis of all Vedas and scriptures of the world, Semen of Men,
etc.. He is the intelligence and power of humans. He is the three gunas or traits Satva, Raja and Tamas that determine and form the human’s behaviour and fate.
However, God never possesses these in Him nor they form part
of Him. Imagine how a fish keeps distinct from the outside surrounding water though it
remains inside the same water.
Four categories of sincere devotees exist to worship God. They are
1) those
wishing to get worldly things
2) those who suffer and seek succour
3) those searching their inner
soul and
4) those who already realised the Truth of Him.
Though all the four are good
devotees, the last one making selfless and total devotion is considered as Dearest and Nearest to God.
After passing
through several births, human being realizes God in the last birth, and seeks
no further birth but the abode of God.
Those who pray to the lesser or Demi God or Angel are bound to get
their blessings: this is also made possible by the Supreme being of Godhead. But those who pray,
by whatever methods, to the Almighty are destined to reach Him only.
Ignorant people fail to realize God’s omnipresence as they believe Him only when he appears in human form.
(Extract from the Chapter 7, GnanaviganaYoga)
