Who is your God?

 I have been asked many a times about God. Questions like: Who is your God? Whom do you consider your god? Which God do you worship?

The answer is very easy. God is god who says, "I am." Probably the shortest sentence answering all the above questions. But it is not so easy to understand if you have a multiple of Gods. We all want to identify with each other. When it comes to Christianity, it becomes even more difficult for them to accept the presence of  Trinity which a Christian sees as one. 

It is true that irrespective of our religions  our god is the same but we have given him names; Allah, Brahma or Lord the father, Lord the Son and Lord the Holy Spirit. Christians have not named God like others have. It is  God who has created our Earth and whatever is contained in it. It is difficult to understand by those who have a multiple of gods and goddesses. Such people must introspect asking themselves about their own creation, in fact the highest creation by God.

How to realise God's existence? 

The answer is easy. Though it requires meditation. A person must look at the creation, the awesome creation of life itself. He can easily arrive at the conclusion that there is a supreme power called God the Creator and if there is a creator ,he does have a purpose behind the creation. Our Vedas call Him 'Prajapati'. We are the subjects of our King. What should be the first duty of the Subjects? Of course to bow and worship the supreme creator! are we doing that? Or are we busy creating our own lesser Gods according to our lusts?? 

When follies are in practice from generation to generation, they are accepted as truth. Even the advice of Lord Krishna to Arjuna to go to that God who can redeem his sins, becomes difficult to grasp.

Where should one look for the god who can give us absolution? The answer is: meditation with introspection and communication with God directly. This also means that we do not have to run after any god-man to help us. We have to go directly. We have to approach god by ourselves. "Arjun, go to that God who can give you absolution." No mediator is required to approach the mighty god, our creator, Prajapati, The King of Kings.  

Let us return to the initial question. If you ask me I would say, " the one who has paid the price of  my sins on the cross." The alpha and the omega, the lamb who shed his blameless blood for my sins. Can you hear Lord Krishna telling you to go to that God who can give you complete redemption.
