Seriously unlearn, then learn to See God, the Unknown

Yesterday, I experienced a wonderful moment where I felt the presence guiding me and us. But soon after, it was judged, and cast aside as mere “excitement” or temperamental emotion. It helped me pause to seek forgiveness.

We have a narrow definition of God, partly due to our conforming upbringing that fails to permit one’s self to understand the unknown every day. By narrowing the existence of God, we narrow the existence of our mind.

I cannot help but assume that we must hold so highly of ourselves that we are selective in seeing the hand of god in our daily lives. You have relegated God to monumental things like parting the sea, moving mountains, raising the dead, defeating an army and so on, that you actually don’t have a clue what the phrase “God is everywhere” actually means anymore.

If you seek God, like if you really seek God, truly seek the wisdom of God in you. You cannot close the door, shut your eyes of him readily moving you, showing you, working in you.  Rather be open to his presence in your every breadth.  That is my hope that every other breadth I think of him. For I feel so ashamed of all the breadths without him yet he carried me through my ignorance.

You refuse to see God moving you in your daily life, yet you pray fervently and fast weekly, refrain from actions in fear of morality, sin and so on. This is sadly immature on our part. This is partly due to the learnings from religions and social norms.

The error many make is misunderstanding rituals and prayers and prisoning their thoughts about God to only those actions and moments, this is truly a shame as I have seen great minds fall to this limitation. Puja Room or sanctuary or wall of prayer is token of our senses to thank the unknown, it is not sacred, it is our sensory celebration and thanks to God the unknown. God does not enter you through your puja room. This is the failure of holy men from the past who in desperation painted these narratives. Your 1^st puja room is your mind, then your heart, then your deeds and earth. These are your places of worship. Not rooms, walls, sanctuaries, buildings or people.

Rituals and Prayers are nothing but similar to couches, respites or run-ways for your mind to re-orient to god. They are not the sole medium to receive God. Your life, living, the way you treat others, the way you live everyday that’s how you receive God. Rituals were created to help you settle, ease into god when the days distract you. But many religions even Hinduism thanks to selfish pundits they raised their rituals higher than God that, god left them long time ago.

We hear the words god is everywhere but we don’t have a clue as to how to actually process and experience it. We see darkness created by men, and assume god doesn’t exist. Man tries very hard to push god away from places and through his deeds. We are born into a world of labeling. We label every minuet angle of change that we give unique names to the same thing.  we relegate God to the big things and ignore his grace in the small things and in everything. God is on the other side of the door in your mind you actually refuse to open, in the name of labels and immature compartments of your mind.

In All of time and ancient texts, God spoke, he had conversations and interactions with the initiated. He also did miracles. Unlearn what was taught to you that he is seen only in miracles, and miracles alone. No. He is everywhere, the moment you shared with your daughter, the moment you smiled at your wife, the moment you wished your mom good health, the moment your sibling said thanks for your kindness, the moment you had a near miss, he was all there. The moment you forgot him, felt lost, felt abandoned he was still there. He is always there, he is everywhere. I seek forgiveness, I’m grateful to the unknown, the clarity removes the deepest fears. I hope I see him in you. Be well. APTTU.
