[QUOTE="Sikh80, post: 75874, member: 5290"] [B]Where is God and who is He [/B] God is or not, is not the question and the governing factor is, you have faith in Him or not! If you have faith, then He is a Reality. If no faith, then He does not exist for you. This is the field of spirituality and in this, every thing follows the faith. Every prophet said, “He is the Truth.” After all, they did not tell the whole world what was not the Truth. In every day science, many things cannot be heard, seen, smelt, tasted, or touched and we prove them by indirect methods. Scientists worked with obsession like mad to find those things. The same should be true of the search for God. Ask the Masters of the spiritual science about the truth. You do ask other scientists, believe them, read their experiences and do experiments to practically verify their work. The same way, labor here, too. You will have to be serious and sincere to experiment honestly. Work on this and find out the facts, or have faith in what the Gurus and the saints say. Yes, He is. Can you prove He is not? He is beyond our comprehension and understanding. What Guru Nanak Dev ji tells, from that we conclude that though nothing is without God, yet He is not a material entity. We cannot see, touch and prove Him in any direct way. Guru Nanak Dev ji says – [B][I]God is One, all pervading, all powerful, an Eternal Truth, the [/I][/B][B][I]Creator, keeps every thing under His own discipline, unbound by [/I][/B][B][I]time, out of incarnation and created by His Own Self (Will). One [/I][/B][B][I]realizes this by His grace. (Transliteration of the Mool-Mantar:[/I][/B] [B][I]Basic Formula). GGS, 1-1- 1[/I][/B] The Fifth Guru further clarifies - [B][I]The Lord is formless, not made of five elements[/I][/B] [B][I]and is Eternal. 5-816-10[/I][/B] God is formless, not made of elements, eternal and self-created. What can conform to this description? [I]Any such thing does not exist except God and so, there is none else equal to Him. [/I]This is the reason we cannot comprehend Him. He is "Every-Thing" and all that is “Nothing,” is Maya (Mundane). A God oriented person, with His Benevolence, beholds Him with his Third Eye (True Knowledge) – [B][I]Nanak, these eyes do not have that vision (To see God). It is[/I][/B] [B][I]through True Guru that the mystic-eye (Third eye,[/I][/B] [B][I]knowledge) gets opened (To behold the Lord). 3-922-7[/I][/B] Not this physical but the “Divine-Eye” (Brahm-Gian: Knowledge of the Lord) sees God – [B][I]Nanak, the eyes that see the Lord are different! 5-577-13/5-1100-1[/I][/B] God orientation and True Knowledge come by contemplating (Meditating) on God and through intense recitation of His Name (Naam-Jaap).

On realizing the Great Truth, you will get appeased and your questions will come to an end. Life is “God Factor,” God resides in us and we have to find (Realize) Him from within, with our Brahm-Gian (Awakening – True-Knowledge) which comes through the Grace of the Guru and Waheguru, Sat-Sangat (Company of the holy persons), recitation of Gurbani (Scriptures - treasure of the knowledge about God) and Naam-Jaap: the recitation of His Name - [B][I]Listen to the truth about saints,[/I][/B] [B][I]They say what they behold! 5-894-8.[/FONT][/I][/B] Have faith, search and get that you want!
