— Who or What is God? —
BG 6:30
“For those who see me everywhere and see all things in me, I am never lost, nor are they ever lost to me.”
BG 7:4
“Earth, water, fire, air, space, mind, intellect, and ego—these are eight components of my material energy.”
BG 7:5
“Such is my inferior energy. But beyond it, O mighty-armed Arjun, I have a superior energy. This is the jīva śhakti (the soul energy), which comprises the embodied souls who are the basis of life in this world.”
BG 8:4
“O best of the embodied souls, the physical manifestation that is constantly changing is called adhibhūta; the universal form of God, which presides over the celestial gods in this creation, is called adhidaiva; I, who dwell in the heart of every living being, am called Adhiyajña, or the Lord of all sacrifices.”
BG 9:4
“This entire cosmic manifestation is pervaded by Me in My unmanifest form. All living beings dwell in Me, but I do not dwell in them.”
BG 9:11
“When I descend in My personal form deluded persons are unable to recognize Me.“BG 9:15
“Some see Me as undifferentiated oneness that is non-different from them, while others see Me as separate from them"BG 9:16
“I see your infinite form in every direction, with countless arms, stomachs, faces, and eyes. O Lord of the universe, whose form is the universe itself, I do not see in you any beginning, middle, or end.“BG 9:17
“I see your form, adorned with a crown, and armed with the club and disc, shining everywhere as the abode of splendor. It is hard to look upon you in the blazing fire of your effulgence, which is radiating like the sun in all directions.“BG 9:18
“I recognize you as the supreme imperishable being, the ultimate truth to be known by the scriptures. You are the support of all creation; you are the eternal protector of sanātan dharma (the eternal religion); and you are the everlasting Supreme Divine Personality.“BG 9:19
" I radiate heat as the sun, and I withhold, as well as send forth rain. I am immortality as well as death personified, O Arjun. I am the spirit as well as matter.“BG 11:19
“You are without beginning, middle, or end; your power has no limits. Your arms are infinite; the sun and the moon are like your eyes, and fire is like your mouth. I see you warming the entire creation by your radiance.”
BG 11:20"The space between heaven and earth and all the directions are pervaded by you alone. Seeing your wondrous and terrible form, I see the three worlds trembling in fear, O Greatest of all beings.”
BG 11:37
“O Great one, who are even greater than Brahma, the original creator, why should they not bow to you? O limitless One, O Lord of the devatās, O Refuge of the universe, you are the imperishable reality beyond both the manifest and the non-manifest.”
BG 13:29
“Those, who see God as the Supreme Soul equally present everywhere and in all living beings, do not degrade themselves by their mind. Thereby, they reach the supreme destination.”
God is you.
God is me.
God is your dog.
God is your house, the water you drink, the air you breath..
God is life, death, immortality, being and non-being.
But most importantly,
God is.
