Can one know God and get a glimpse of who he is by the forms, beings and creatures that we see around, or is God an experience that is known in a state beyond mind? Anandmurti Gurumaa reveals the answers to this important question in this video.
There is confusion in our mind between the love for fellow creatures and the love for God. The love for creatures comes from the mind and God is beyond the mind. So we cannot equate our love for beings and our love for God.
For loving God, we have to go beyond the mind. Love, feeling and attachment for worldly objects comes into the realm of maya but transcendental love for God cannot be equated with maya.
Gurumaa discusses the answer to the question asked by a seeker. Maya is but an illusion created by the mind and which the mind blindly gets attached to. But God cannot be termed an illusion, in fact he is the only supreme truth in this world and everything else is temporary and has no support or truth to it.
Listen to this video and understand the answer to a question which is uppermost in our minds, we equate our worldly love with the love that we think we have for God.
But as the seeker evolves and moves closer to God, he realizes everyday that the world and its objects are only an illusion and he has to move away from these if he wants to come closer to the self-effulgent, ever-present and everlasting truth and bliss that is God.
