Why is God a Him, and not a Her? - Page 7

Actually God is my neighbour, Mr. and Mrs. Bhagwan Singh. 😆

The Dashavatars (10) are simply the major avatars of Lord Vishnu, each of which had a specific purpose, most of the time which was to establisht right over wrong.😊 The other 15 were either partial avatars, short avatars, or avatars which did not have as big of a purpose as the Dashavataras, but were incarnated to lead humanity towards the right path one way or another.

Thanks. I knew you would know. Could you elaborate on why the purpose of Dashavataras was more important or why the other 15 are not as significant. I'm curious to know more.

But seriously it is often said that when a name exists so does the form. Our mind has the ability to create whatever is thnks of very deeply.

If we keep thinking of God , then God appears and if we keep thinking of the Devil, then the Devil appears too.

In some ways how God looks and how he should appear etc are dictated by us.

But keep thinking of God then we too become God, a fine example was given by Parahamsa ji who mentioned about a salt doll trying to measure the ocean and ended up being part of the ocean.

I disagree. The Supreme being is beyond you, me or any other human being. We have only a part of him in us. No way we could become all of him. We may end up uniting with him but we will always remain an ansh of him - nothing less nothing more.

I disagree further. There is that of God in all of us. God is very much an ansh of us as much as we are an ansh of God. Besides what is an ocean without every drop of water. Our relationship to God is like a Mobius strip. There is no beginning, no end, no inside, no outside.

God is us and we are God.

No, we are not. Even if our thoughts - god like thoughts - are followed by our actions - the best we could be would be god-like or saints. We can't become God - the Force. Not even with the collective parts of God in all of us because being humans, someone some where would defo screw up and ruin the whole addition😆

yes there are a few schools of thought and as long as we have body consciousness and ego it is better to say that there is a difference.

Without body consciousnes and ego it is impossible to be in this material world.

Even the mahavakya "ayam brahma asmi" is not perfect as the word "ayam" signifies a differentiation. Even Hanuman ji saw himself as a servant or Rama. And Rama sees himself as a servant of his devotees.

Aamir Khan also says he is his fan's ghulaam - not badshah😆

Jokes apart, it's just that the Force is so pure and devine for me that no human can take it's place. That's why I jumped in. I am with you on rest of your post though.

Aap key motw mein someone is waiting to hear about consciousness and supreme being😆 I am giving you practice here as they say there will be follow up questions😆

I think when we become one with the force we have lost 'self' to be one with the force. At that moment we are the force and not ourselves.

That would be moksha - I don't see every tom, dick and harry achieving that. And the way I see it, we eill then be a minuscule part of the force but not the force itself.

All the organs put together in my body make me but they are not me. They still remain a part of me.

Similarly, I doubt we can be evolved enough to even understand the consciousness which the Force has - leave alone dreaming to be that consciousness.
