UNDERSTANDING “GOD” “Muz, I wondered if you could explain a bit about your beliefs to me regarding what you believe to be God. Im trying to get a better understanding as Im reading the Gita at the moment & so far its really hard to grasp what its saying. Your input would be appreciated.” Xx During Satsang, an Indian devotee asked me: Baba, how to see God? What do you expect to see? Do you think God has a form? What do you think God is? There is only Universal Awareness. Can Awareness be seen? Can even Consciousness be seen? You can see only what Consciousness projects. When you dream, you see what your consciousness projects in the night. On waking, you see what consciousness projects in the day. Without the Light of Consciousness you would see neither world nor dream world. As in a cinema, when watching a film show, without the light behind the projector, you would see nothing. So it is with what you call ‘God.’ God is the source of the Light. And God is also That which is witnessing the show (and the film which is projected)—whether in the cinema, in the world, or in dreams. What is the use to talk of seeing God, when it is actually ‘God’ that is seeing? God is THAT which is perceiving itself—AS Creation—through your eyes, when your mind is no longer interfering. That reflection in the ‘Mirror of God’—IS the ‘form of God.’ The realisation of what THAT is—is the purpose of your appearance in this dream of Existence. The secret of comprehending the Bhagavad Gita, is to understand that ‘Krishna’ is given the symbolic role of the mouthpiece of THAT—the Omnipresent Universal Awareness—or Unificatory Consciousness, whereas the dualistically divided mind of Arjuna represents the division between two aspects of the same feuding family (the left and right brain hemispheres) on the battlefield of ‘Mind.’ An extract from “You Are the Light” (an unpublished work in progress) © Muz Murray 2013
