God is a myth. However, if you choose to believe the myth, then he is male. (go figure).

To achieve a state of consciousness in which everywhere we look, we see God, requires effort. You can experience this if you get away from singing about Him, which is always in the third person, and start thinking more in terms of singing to Him.

Talk to God. Share every thought. Here's a very interesting experiment. Try it. See if it changes your consciousness. Talk to God in the second person. Say, "God, where do you want me to go today? What do you want me to eat today?"

These may seem trivial, but to Him nothing's trivial. What you eat, or who you see is just as important to Him as asking, "What great mission shall I accomplish?" The really important thing is that you include the Divine Mother in your thoughts and in your heart. Share every thought, every impression, every feeling.

In a very short time, there comes into your life a divine symphony, and you'll be floating on clouds of joy. This was perhaps the main thing Yogananda came to bring the world. It isn't that other saints haven't talked of the need to love God. But he did it in a unique way.

When you feel the power of that love>>
When you feel the power of that love, it will shatter all preconceptions of what life's all about. Many of the things you thought unimportant turn out to be the most important of all. The love you express for other people is more important than anything else you do.

The kindness you express, the humility in embracing their needs along with your own, and above all, doing it in God's name, these are the things that give life value. Yogananda's main message was love for your own divine potential, first and love for others.

In your service, step beyond that which makes you work with tension, thinking, "I've got to do this", and "I must do that, then maybe I'll have a little time for God". Then you get all uptight. That's not service to God. The greatest service you can give God is the simple expression of divine love.

Once on a building project at the Encinitas Retreat, an opening date was announced. But the project was delayed until it looked as if it couldn't possibly get done on time. At the last moment, the person in charge didn't show up. Later he said, "Sir, I was meditating".

Yogananda replied, "Oh, never mind, that's all right". To him, even at time of great crisis, putting God first was the only thing that really mattered. I don't mean he approved of being irresponsible, but if it was for God, he saw that as the highest responsibility.

This is directly opposite to what we usually think, when we say, "I'll get this done, then maybe I'll have a little time for God". You don't get that time. Put God first.

Then you'll find everything somehow flows in an amazing way. Without any real effort, you know the answers. You don't have to work nearly so hard for them because, in that attunement, Infinite Consciousness finds expression through you.

All these different currents that make you what you are will be effortlessly transformed into higher currents.

The difficulty is just having enough faith to try it. It takes courage, faith and devotion, yet finally it's nothing, because that's who you are. You'll know your own nature is that divine love.

In the name of Allah the most Gracious the most Merciful.

We know of our creator only that what HE the Almighty Reveals about himself to us.God does not have a gender , because the holy Quran tells us that God almighty is Unique ! The last Line Of Sura Ikhlas [ chapter 112 ] in the Holy Quran says "' Walam ya Kuluhu Kuffuhan Ahad'' which translates as '' And there is nothing coequal or comparable unto Him ''
The Arabic language has only Two genders Masculine and
Feminine Gender ad compared to English which posesses
the third gender which is neutral.So Allah the almighty is
referred to as a He in the holy Quran

Male and Female are GOD's Creation.

GOD is Way Above Male and Female.
Ditto...GOD is the CREATOR (Fire, Light, Love etc.)
HE became a Human Being (The Father AND The SON--Thanky Jesus!)

God isn't a man or a woman. He is genderless. We refer to him as "Father' becuase we think in gender terms and it helps with our understanding. The Old Testament refers to him as Father, and also Jesus was a man.
