God - our Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul

God is called the Supreme Soul or more accurate is that the Supreme Soul is known to us as
the God, the creator Almighty. He is supreme among all souls. Yet, like souls, God is a subtle
point of light. But unlike human Souls, that Soul is beyond the cycle of birth and death and
the effects of Karma (actions) in the form of experience of pleasure or pain. God is the
Supreme Father, Mother, Teacher and Guide of all human souls. We all remember Him only
in our difficult time, it is such inbuilt within us. So let us explore the truth about God, as
revealed by himself through murlis.

Representations of incorporeal God


Being incorporeal, God is represented by an oval-shaped stone or light in many religions.
In Hinduism, God is worshipped as an oval-shaped stone called Shivlingam or Jyotirlingam,
meaning a symbol of Shiv or symbol of light. Muslims revere an oval-shaped black stone
called Sang-e-Aswad (holy stone), which is placed in the Kaaba in the Grand Mosque in
Mecca. Jesus Christ (Christianity) has said and described God as 'light '. Mahatma Buddha
started deep meditation and found a spiritual existence of God, beyond cycle of birth and
death. Hence he describes the Self as such free beings detached and as a part of God. All
religions point to the supreme soul in one or other way. The common is clear that 'God is a
being of Light' and so is worshipped as non-physical power.

Name of God
Everything that exists in nature has a name and a form. We get a name when we take a
birth. In our each birth, our name is different. But what about the name of one who never
takes a birth, is unborn. His name must be eternal. So as God has revealed Himself with His
eternal name 'Shiv' or 'Shiva' (when pronounced in English). The meaning of Shiv is 'One
who is Ever Benevolent'. Benevolent means the one who does good to all in all times.

Residence of God (Where God eternally live)

Till now, you have understood the reality of God the incorporeal supreme soul). Now let us
turn to what we all souls call - 'Our sweet home'. This is also the home of our spiritual
father (god). There is complete and eternal sweet silence. Why sweet? Because here we are
merged in the ocean of love. There is no body-consciousness (as there is no body). We and
God live there as divine points of light as an inverted tree-like structure (as shown in the
picture), where God is the seed of the human tree, roots are souls who have a direct
connection with the seed (Brahman souls) and branches represents the religions
established in the world. Rest leaves are souls of those religions. As clearly shown, God the
seed is the source of power for all the branches and leaves.
Names to represent Soul World : Home of eternal light, Home of Peace, Sweet silence
home, Paramdhaam (Supreme home), incorporeal world, Nirvaan (beyond sound) and Mul
Vatan (the original everlasting residence.

Our Relationship with God

As the Father
Father is the word used for the creator. In Christianity also, God is called - The Father.
Actually, he is our father because we get an inheritance of heaven (the golden age) from
him. God did not create the souls (us). But he comes and re-creates the heaven on earth.
Those who helped him shall also receive this great inheritance.

As a Teacher
Explained that the Godfather creates heaven and gives it to his children who helped and
followed his directions. But which direction? So the directions are his teachings. God is
called the ocean of knowledge. He comes and imparts the entire knowledge of the creator
and the creation to his children. He is also our Supreme Teacher. He gives us his advice
on what is the right thing to do so as to receive the highest fruit.

As a Friend
Now as we have every relation with God, we can share anything with him. Made a
mistake? Go and accept your mistake. Seek forgiveness. Such a friend who gives the
best advice and is there for us anywhere anytime.

As a Guide
This is the last relationship with God. We longed for liberation. After revealing the secrets
of Karma, God teaches us the RajaYog through which we the souls are freed from the
results of our past actions. God liberates us from all sorrow that we created for ourself.
Liberating us like this, he takes us back home.

When does God appear before Us?

It is now understood that our relationship with God, is of Father and Son, of Teacher and
Student, of best friends, of a Guru and his follower. But when does this all relationships
are enjoyed? Because there should be a time all this God is knowledgeful, the ocean of
love, etc, was experienced by all of us.

As discussed on World Drama Cycle page, the world drama repeats. Golden Age comes
after Iron age. This is depicted as the Transformation time. This small time is known as
Confluence Age (Sangam). Hence something major has to happen now. In this time
only God has to appear to perform the role of 'creator of new world'. God needs a medium,
a body to speak his knowledge. He comes and adopts us through the corporeal medium
of Brahma. Brahma is the first human soul. God plays his role as the Creator through
Brahma. So only in this time given of about 100 years does God appears to impart us the
knowledge of truth and give us the inheritance of New world (heaven). To give you good
news, it was around 1936 when this incognito part of God began. By now, the message
is widely spread. And by the end, everyone would get the message.

One may observe that all the major events happened in this last 100 years only (Science,
atomic power, new researches, rise of human talents and fame). This is because God the
source is himself here now. God fulfils wishes of his children before it is time to go.
