Where Is God?

This question must have arisen in the hearts of many people many times. The answer to this has been given many times in the scriptures. First of all, in verse number 4 of Chapter 9 of the universal Bhagavad Gita, Krishna himself says: Maya Tatmidam Sarvam Jagadavyaktamurtina. I remain present in the entire world in latent form i.e. formless form. All beings are situated in Me, but I am not situated in them. Although I do not have any form, but when the time comes, when I am pleased with someone's devotion, I appear in a special form, this should not surprise anyone. I am present in every place, in every particle, atom and molecule of the whole world and this whole world is situated in me only. All living beings, this creation is in me only. Even though I am in this world, I am not in this world. My presence is everywhere, He resides in every being and substance.

Maya tatmidam sarvam jagadvyaktamurtina.

Matsthani sarvabhutani na chahna teshvavasthith: ॥

eSa means that while answering the questions of Lord Arjun, he is saying that I remain present in the entire world in my latent form i.e. formless form. All beings are situated in Me, but I am not situated in them. Although I do not have any form, but when the time comes, when I am pleased with someone's devotion, I appear in a special form, this should not surprise anyone. I am present in every place, in every particle, atom and molecule of the whole world and this whole world is situated in me only. All living beings, this creation is in me only. Even though I am in this world, I am not in this world. My presence is everywhere, residing in every being and substance.

yYes Lord Shri Krishna clearly says that His power and presence is present in the entire world. Although all living beings are connected to Him, He Himself is not physically present in those living beings. This means that God is omnipresent, yet He is independent in Himself.

God is omnipresent,This idea is expressed by various verses in the Bhagavad Gita and many Puranas. The omnipresence of God and the feeling of being present everywhere is described in detail in the Vedas, Upanishads, Geeta and Puranas. I live in everyone in soul form. How many people are able to see me through their meditation, through their purified intellect, in their heart. Some people see this form of mine through their actions and some people attain me through Gyan Yoga, that is, I become visible to them.

Upadrashtanumanta cha bharta bhokta maheshwarah.

MisterKrishna says that I am what humans call soul. I live in everyone in soul form. How many people are able to see me through their meditation, through their purified intellect, in their heart. Some people see this form of mine through their actions and some people attain me through Gyan Yoga, that is, I become visible to them.

Eko Dev: Sarvabhuteshu Gudh: The omnipresent omnipresent soul.

Karmadhyaksha: Sarvabhutadhivasa: Sakshi Cheta Kevalo Nirgunascha.

ShweThe meaning of this verse written in the 11th verse of the 6th chapter of Tashvataro Upanishad is that there is a God in all the living beings, who is omnipresent, omnipresent, pure and without any qualities, is the witness of everything done, you can say the inner soul of all, He is also the master of all the living beings, the one who takes care of all the deeds done by the human (I). That means the president is also the same. He is devoid of any kind of qualities. That is why He i.e. God knows everything, whatever we humans do. Nothing is hidden from Him, in a way, He can also be called the camera of the Creator of this universe installed in our body which keeps recording everything. Hyjh. You can say that He is the Lord who is the entire world. 64 ॥

thisThe same thing is written in the second verse of the first section of the second Mundak Upanishad.

Divyo Hyamaurtaah Purushaah Sabahyabhyaantaro Hyjah.

Aprano Hymanah Shubhro Hyaksharaat Parah Parah ॥

MisterIn the first part of Vishnu Purana, Shri Parashar is telling sage Maitreya ji that this world is full of Lord Vishnu, is situated in him and has also originated from him. You can say that that Lord is the entire universe.

Tatra sarvamidam protamotam chaivakhilam jagat.

Tato jagajjagattasmins jagacchakhilam mune ॥ 64 ॥

Canair be visible to us with our eyes? Can we see atoms with our eyes? An intelligent person will answer this only, 'No.' When we humans cannot see this air, we cannot see the molecules. This air is outside us, inside us, in our heart and brain. We call it life. So can't there be something smaller than a molecule which is true but we cannot see it, we can only feel it. He is in everything around us, in every particle, so if Lord Krishna is saying that He is in every particle then what is he saying wrong. We just have to accept it. Then you see that everything is going well with us. We will become afraid of doing bad to someone, that someone is watching us. We will not feel bad about anyone watching us. Committing any kind of sin will make us afraid that someone is watching us.

The wise do only this.
