HAVE YOU SEEN GOD?
QUESTION BY A SAINT
![]()
YES, I HAVE SEEN THAT GOD IS UNSEEN AND THAT
IS WHAT CAN BE SEEN REGARDING UNSEEN GOD,
ALWAYS & FOREVER ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF GOD.
1- GOD is unseen and GOD can never be seen with the eyes or by the other means and GOD is omnipresent, therefore seen by the viewer as a thing or a person or visible for a while or for a moment or whom one can see for a moment or even for a fraction or who appears & disappears or appears as a light or as a dark; In short, whose visual is momentary or whose visual can be seen in some ordinary or a particular situation or a condition can never be held as GOD.
2- Who is distant or whose distance can be measured, seen or felt, or who is seen by someone somewhere can never be GOD.
3- Senses can touch things only therefore whom senses can touch to understand one way or the other can never be GOD.
GOD reveals whatsoever GOD wants to reveal onto the heart and is free from the creaturely handicaps and needs not physical voice to speak. Physical voice of the creatures can communicate GOD but can not produce the voice of GOD. And if the voice of the creatures can be the voice of GOD or that creatures can produce the voice of GOD, then there is no reason to reject creatures as GOD while creatures can never be held as an unseen GOD. Since voices of all the creatures are GOD-made and nothing resembles GOD, so the voice of the creatures can never be held as the voice of their Creator because voice of a creature is creaturely indeed and is a mean of its identification. On record, it is said that GOD talked to Moses and the voice produced from the fire & from the tree is told to be as the voice of GOD but it was the human voice which was not of the fire and which was not of the tree but of a human and GOD is not a human at all, so on the mountain GOD communicated what GOD wanted to reveal through fire and Moses heard what GOD communicated and GOD only revealed what GOD wanted to reveal through GOD-created system which appeared as a voice coming out from the fire or from the tree and GOD declared this as a dialogue of GOD with Moses.
Further, what Moses saw on the mountain was not GOD but a kind of miracle & a kind of light full of energy & power which caused Moses to believe GOD as an unseen GOD, again an act of revelation.
4- GOD is Absolute & Unseen & is the creator of infinity; therefore, even the most magnificent or infinite view which appears according to the light-conscious eyes in the form of images to let the brain see & understand something can never be considered as a view of Absolute & Unseen GOD.
‘Nothing resembles GOD’ simply means that GOD is not a thing and it also does not mean everything or nothingness. Since everything came from nothingness through its birth and returns to nothingness after its ultimate end or its death, therefore, nothingness is also a thing and a thing can never be held as GOD and any factor or attribute of GOD or power or existent might which exists as a thing between things & nothingness; generates things or organizes the creatures or destroys everything can never be held as GOD because might or power or all other attributes of GOD are not gods & are other than GOD and one cannot say that the power which generates things is GOD to make a god other than GOD or a power or might which organizes things is GOD to establish GOD as a might-dependant GOD or the power which destroys things such as time (KAAL) or KALI (The goddess of time) is GOD to worship time as god because nothing is like GOD or resembles GOD and such powers can only be considered as the attributes of The Almighty GOD because everything being a creation of GOD belongs to GOD and is not GOD and GOD is the GOD of all things and only about GOD we can say that GOD is Almighty and GOD is All-able, without any creaturely definition because nothing resembles GOD. Attributes of GOD are to introduce GOD such as we can say that the word “GOD” is used as a name of GOD to call GOD because according to the word “GOD” All-able & Almighty is the Generator, the Organizer & the Destroyer of all things and that is what the alphabets G, O & D reveal, so there is nothing wrong in saying that GOD is the Generator of all things, GOD is the Organizer of all things and GOD is the Destroyer of all things and GOD is All-able & Almighty, One & Alone without gods beside GOD.
Seen without a visual & distance and heartedly realized without the senses may be a kind of experience of some value but even such an experience stands not for a divine vision because Unseen GOD is unseen and nothing resembles GOD. Even the realization of GOD seems unexplainable like the sound of perfect silence which is heard without hearing anything & cannot be explained. Anyhow GOD is realized only and what the finders find or losers lose is their faith only.
As a divine experience, to let the seeker realize, the seeker’s mind is changed by GOD in the state of faith and the change is constant for the seeker as a finding of belief and behind the appearance of all things only questions concerning GOD appear because GOD lets the apparent appear and the viewer to view things only and remains unseen.
Question of the vision of the Unseen is in fact a question of the realization of the Unseen; it is not the Unseen who appears but it is the vision of the viewer within the eyes & mind which changes because the view is not the vision but the nature of the view of the viewer becomes a vision when the divine vision takes place. It is not the world which changes but it is the viewer who realizes the change and one’s vision appears in one’s eyes only.
There are two kinds of blinds; a blind without the eyes and a blind with the eyes and blinds cannot see anything. Strong realization with the experience of faith can witness the existence of GOD and realization exists in the state of consciousness, stronger than the power of vision behind eyes. Realization is existent as a source to witness greater things such as happenings which happen behind the eyes in the soul and are realized by the heart & mind.
Normally, everyone sees the view and no one sees the vision and a vision is all that matters to view and everyone knows that vision exists; same as one can see the creatures & creations with the eyes but no one sees the Creator, so all things can be seen and no one can see the Unseen who makes the eyes see and is the cause of vision.
The light shows all things through its nature of illumination & sensation but cannot be seen with the eyes and no one can see light but believes that light exists through the experiences of vision. Eyes always see the source of light which is a thing and the illumination shows the things and eyes can not see the light in-between the source of light & the illuminated things. Eyes see all that and see not the vision which shows all that.
Nothing resembles GOD and GOD is unseen since inception. Vision of GOD is in fact the realization of the Real who is the cause of all realities and GOD is normally realized only through the happenings which happen in the state of faith through senses as the acts of GOD and that is what Moses experienced on the mountain.
Since GOD exists everywhere; behind, before & within the eyes, GOD can be realized easily because GOD makes the eyes see and GOD lets the seen appear, so GOD is present everywhere, but not for the eyes; that is why GOD is known as “Unseen GOD.”
In the chapter of realization, seen & unseen both are realized. With eyes or without eyes, there is a lot to realize in this universe. Minor part of the universe can be seen and the major part of the universe is just realized. In fact, eyes are used to realize but the realization depends not upon the vision & eyes and since everyone realizes by seeing or without seeing, the vision stands not between the realizer and the realized as an essential factor. Therefore, whatsoever appears or disappears can not be believed as a divine vision. Only through the experience of faith, one can realize the existence of GOD, One & Alone, Almighty & All-able & Creator of all things.
Scriptures tell us that when Moses & his people saw the GOD-made way in the river, crossed the river, reached on the other side of the river safe & sound & saw with their eyes Pharaoh following them on the same track and the waters caused the destruction of Pharaoh in the same river and all those who saw the destruction of Pharaoh & his armies unanimously declared that they have seen GOD taking revenge & destroying the enemy, then every one sufficiently realized GOD and celebrated the victory of GOD over Pharaoh. So the truth is told here. GOD can be realized through the practice of faith only and ‘GOD appears’ means the realization of the supremacy of GOD which causes divine acts and which plays the most important role in the world of believers as a help & as an ultimate fate.
