🌷परित्राणाय साधूनाम् विनाशाय च दुष्कृताम्।
धर्मसंस्थापनार्थाय सम्भवामि युगे युगे ।।
To protect the virtuous and to destroy the wicked, God is present at all times, in every era, that is, always present.
In this series till now you were reading that first open your eyes, then close your eyes then start searching..
Moving further...
The whole formation of the world is telling the existence of God.
🌷उदु त्यं जातवेदसं देवं वहन्ति केतव:। दृशे विश्वाय सूर्यम्।। (Yajurved 33/31)
This whole universe is showing that omniscient, omnipresent , the giver of happiness, the form of knowledge God only.
This great creation is indicating the creator. This systematic work, world itself is indicating towards the administrator.
Just look at this creation with open eyes and study deeply.
Don't close your eyes before you understand. And the meaning of meditation is not to close the eyes, but to open the eyes, which are already closed. First open your eyes of knowledge, then if you know the way to go into the depth of meditation, then the inner journey can begin. Without knowing the path, you cannot reach the goal by walking. Those who are trying to know God by meditating without knowledge, their time and energy are going to be wasted. As long as the form of Dhyey/goal(God), Dhyata (meditator) and Dhyan (action) is not known even literally, one can imagine, dream, but cannot receive the grace of God. There is no such simple solution that without knowledge one can meditate on God or teach others to do it.
Common people of the world, spiritual scholars and physicists of the modern age, everyone is of the same opinion that there is no action without a doer and without action there is no work or construction done.
🌷यतो वा इमानि भूतानि जायन्ते,येन जातानि जीवन्ति.. (Taittiriya Upanishad 3/1)
By whose strength and power the living beings are born, after taking birth they live for some time and at the end in which they merge into the all-pervasive, that great God who is the creator, sustainer and destroyer of all. O humans! You should desire to know Him and worship Him for welfare.
🌷जन्माद्यस्य यत:। (Vedant 1/1/2)
Through which birth and death, creation and annihilation take place. He is Brahm(God).
🌷न तत्र सूर्यो भाति न चन्द्र तारकम् नेमा विद्युतो भान्ति कुत अयं अग्नि:। (Kathopanishad 2/5/15)
Sun, Moon, stars, lightning and fire, no one can show to that God. But all these suns etc. are also being illuminated i.e. shining with the light given by Him only.
What should the eyes show to the one who sees from behind the eyes. Who gives eyes to the whole world. The eyes cannot show Him. To see one's own eyes also one has to take the help of a mirror.
Now the question arises that despite not having a physical body like a human being, how does God protect without senses, without a body?
To be continue...
