He is wordless

I was contemplating for a while to write this article following uproar over the use of a certain word denoting ‘God’ among different major religions in Malaysia. I am not mentioning the exact word here, as I am not going to dwell regarding the same issue, which has been subjected to ongoing debate for personal and political gains. For me, the matter of debating the use of the word ‘God’ is as futile as the word itself. The word ‘God’ which is created by the three letters has no meaning whatsoever except by own interpretation and understanding. Again and again, I would like to emphasis that words are just words. We give value to words. So words without understanding remained meaningless. But a deep understanding won’t help either in understanding the word God. You can understand the meaning of God from what you have read in scriptures or thought by so called ‘religious experts’. But understanding of god is not possible to an ordinary mind. Understanding of god is not possible to a dull mind. Understanding of god is only possible when there is a serious inquiry. Understanding of god is only possible when mind is transcended. Ordinary mind only can comprehend that much about God limited by the boundaries of the mind itself.  But again understanding God does not mean you have comprehended God. The moment God is understood; He has been brought to the limited boundary of mind. How can God be understood when He can be limited to an ordinary mind. He is limitless. He has no border. He is timeless. No words are able to describe Him. He is beyond words. Therefore any attempt to restrict His names by certain words would proof our idiocy. Restricting His names to certain words just exposing our ignorance about Him. Claiming certain words to describe Him is very shallow.

Understanding of God is as good as to understand the word itself, nothing more. Always question who understands and what is there to be understood. You can understand the many different words to describe God. You can understand the many different forms of Gods if you believe in idol worship. You can understand the God in your religion as according to your belief and faith. But you will never understand HIM as He is. The moment you understand Him, you are bringing Him to your level of understanding. It will be as good as your own mental projections of Him. You can go on projecting Him as what you like, as what you perceive but at the end of day, it is just your own projections.  He is beyond mind and beyond the projections of your mind. So, stop projecting. He can’t be projected. He can’t be understood.

I was talking to one of my friend regarding the similar topic. I asked him the question about god and he mentioned he read in his religious scriptures pertaining God and he was be able to regurgitate what ever he memorized. I ask him again what he knows about God and not what he has read about God. He was dumbfounded. He was unable to utter a single word. I would like to ask the same question again, what we know about God. Not as what we read about Him, not as what we think God is. Not as what we thought throughout our life but seriously from our heart. How many of us can tell from our inner heart not projected mind about God. Godliness is not something we can learn through our degrees in university. Godliness is not knowledge of the mind. Godliness is not equivalent to memorizing the scriptures to whatever religion we belonged. The idiocy of issuing a religious statement by religious scholars is the biggest hypocrisy. As long as you are confining Him with certain words you have not tasted Him. As long as you are confining Him with certain words you have not experienced Him. As long as you are confining Him with certain words, you have not ‘breathed’ Him. As long as you are confining Him with certain words, you have not ‘heard’ Him. As long as you are confining Him with certain words, you have not ‘seen’ Him. As long as you are confining Him with certain words, you know absolutely nothing about Him. The moment you know HIM, the ecstasy of Him will stop all the questioning. The moment you know HIM, the authority that questions will stop. The moment you know HIM, the ‘Ego’ that questions will stop. The moment you know HIM, the mind that questions Him will stop.

HE IS when ‘we’ are not. HE IS when the mind stops. HE Is the dance of the heart. HE Is the breath of our body. HE Is the ‘prana’. HE Is the answer when all the questioning stops. HE is when all the words no more. He is the Question and the Answer Itself. ONLY HE IS. Aum Sadguru.
