Universal Concepts About The Supreme Being or God - Part 3
Continuing from yesterday’s message:
The Zoroastrians worship God as fire (Indian Zoroastrians are called Parsis).
The ancient Egyptians worshiped the sun as God.
A Buddhist sect in Japan focuses the mind on a small oval shape. They call it Karni, the Peace-giver.
The Jews have the Menorah (a candlestick or holder for many candles together) which when lit is a memory of the form of God as light.
It seems therefore that human beings, without realizing, have all been worshipping and trying to discover the same God. There is only one God and His form is light. If union between the soul and the Supreme Soul is to take place, it can only be possible if there is knowledge and experience of that form.
On the basis of our (soul and the Supreme Soul) similarities of form and place of residence, I learn from God of my own original sanskars of peace, purity, love, knowledge, power and bliss. As I tune my thoughts to Him, His influence fills these original qualities in me. He is the perfect and infinite fountain, indeed the ocean, of these qualities. His superiority lies in the depth, clarity and continuity of His divine sanskars. Whilst human souls fluctuate between peace and peacelessness; love and hatred; knowledge and ignorance; sorrow and joy, God is ever constant and above and beyond these fluctuations.
