“A Little and True Story: God and I”

One of my friends asked me, how do you believe in God without seeing Him?

I calmly replied, you do not see yourself and yet you believe that you are. I believe in God as He is not the matter to be seen, he can only be realized. Who are making their efforts to SEE the God, they are foolish and thoughtless. You need to see yourself, God is there only. After seeing and stabilizing in your inner zone, you’ll come to know either ‘He is me’ or ‘I am Him’. Both of these feelings are fundamentally similar as these are not showing any discrimination between God and I. there is an assimilation this is what I believe in i.e. Advaita (oneness or non-dualism). Until you see/feel that you are isolated from the God , you remain in duality (Dvaita). After interviewing with your soul (during meditation/ Dhyaan Saadhana), you become aware with your hidden unlimited energy and power; this power assimilates you with the God. This assimilation is followed by the realization of oneness i.e. Advaita (The ultimate reality of Vedanta). At this moment you will start saying ‘AhamBrahmasmi’ and get a clear vision which gives you the supreme sense of ‘Neti Neti’

I said my friend, now you might get, how do I believe in God without seeing Him?
