How can we understand the Existence by using the idea of God?


Q. - It is not possible for me to remove the idea of God from my mind. How can we understand the Existence by using the idea of God?


Can you see that there is essentially gap between what you want, what you like and what happens? You want to close the gap by using the idea of God. Once you see that this gap can not be undone, you begin to see the happenings as work of God. God is now a fact for you. It is endless exploration. You are attuned to wonder, to the limitless field.

But when you think as if what God is doing is in your favour or not in favour or you ascribe characteristics to Him, you are trapped in your imaginations. You are simply seeking relief from the discomfort; the gap creates in your mind.

Q.- Can you explain it further?

Can you see- what you want?

You want all your desires should be met and no problems should tinker your mind.

But you continually face resistance (pain and uncertainty).

Can you absorb this resistance without any explanation?

Q. - What is resistance?

All resistance is psychological discomfort, if not immediate physical danger.

Any happening which you do not like or uncertainty, confusion, unpleasant thoughts, apprehensions arising in your mind is resistance.

You deal with resistance:

By complaining, blaming, feeling guilty;

By introducing the idea of God or other religious-spiritual ideas;

By consolations, solaces that things will be alright in future;

By thinking that science or economics will solve this.

Can one see that all dealing with the resistance simply postpones the issue?

Can one face, absorb the resistance without any explanation, without any postponement?

When the nervous system experiences this resistance, this pain – what you do, you try to throw the resistance out of you mind. There is no place to throw it.

Once you see this, the whole energy is here.
