going to have to use a tad of logic- if God is beyond causation, then it would be impossible to realise God because this would CAUSE us to act in a certain way and therefore God would be made an element of causation. We can believe but never know for absolute definate because this would mean god was within the realms of space time and causation.

God is not a personified deity but the multi-dimensional reality we are embedded in that is responsive to consciousness. The more Self awareness you gain by observing the learned patterns of the defensive ego, the less you will identify with your thoughts and feelings and gain the capacity to change your mind about what is true about yourself and the world.
We exist in a constant timeless state - but the defensive ego is programmed to only avoid a future that repeats past hurts or loss (to preserve the mind/body system) and IS NEVER AWAKE OR PRESENT. Because 'now' is the only aspect of time "eternally" with us, reality is synchronizing with the ego's thought system (mostly subconscious beliefs) or with YOU and your unconflicted choices. Clean up your mind and you join with god/reality in creating a better world for everyone.

Realisation is only after a firm belief. If one doesn't believe in God he may not realise & he may still. Sometimes miracles pose us a question is there a God? Then one answers, yes there is & then belief in God becomes stronger. Don't think of realisation just believe in God with pure love. Imagine that there is a God & meditate regularly. When u're in deep meditation u'll definitely see him. One can see God only with eyes closed. God is every where he is watching u from a distance rahter he is following u.

It is possible to realise god even within the limiting factors of time and space, if you have the deepest feeling of separation between you and god.

You are working from the premise of *empiricism,* which states that all valid knowledge comes from the senses, or from some sort of deductive science such as mathematics.
With that alone, God cannot be reached by our understanding.
However, the human mind is capable of abstracting from sense data to form *concepts* which are universal ideas - empiricism, on the other hand, reduces intellectual knowledge to sense knowledge and its associations.
Some universal concepts are "being," "causality," "sufficient reason," "truth," "goodness," "contingency," "necessity" - which belong to *metaphysics* with which the mind can address the question of God and other ultimate principles of reality.

Though GOD is beyond everything yet HE is in everything. Bcause we can not perceve GOD we generally try to bring him within our conception by imagining him as a human. GOD is like water u can give HIM any shape and HE will talk to u from that form.You will just have to believe and have faith.Even if you don't have faith you can ask for faith also,and GOD will provide you that too. Believe it.

Your actual self that may not something yet an component of God is likewise previous time and area, it is your actual self that realises God, your physique is barely a trifling automobile to force you in the direction of your terrific trip spot. to comprehend God you're able to first comprehend your guy or woman actual self, that's certainly not your actual physique.

They say faith has the power to take you beyond space, time and causation in order to realize God..... just hearsay, no experience! I find it difficult to even believe in God, how can I have 'faith'?

The teachings of Sankara can be summed up in verse:
'Aham Brahmasmi' is the basic concept of Advaita philosophy. Brahman (the Absolute) is alone real; this world is unreal; and the Jiva or the individual soul is non-different from Brahman.
Swamy Ram Tirtha and Saint Ramana Maharshi belonged this school.
Self Realisation is the first step and how to realize Cosmic Consciousness is the second step were preached by Swamy Ram Tirtha.
Swami Rama Tirtha (earlier known as Gossain Tirtha Rama) (Born Oct 22 1873, died Oct 17 1906), was a notable Indian follower of the Hindu philosophy of Vedanta.
In Woods of God-Realisation is a seven volume compilation of the complete works of Swami Rama Tirtha.
Volume 1:
Rama Tirtha simply asks you to do one favour, favour to yourself. Be man! All these bodies are like dewdrops and the real man is like the ray of Sun which passes through and threads all these beads of dew. All these bodies are like the beads on a rosary and the real man is like the string that passes through them all. If you once sit still for a second and feel, feel that you are the Universal Man, you are the Infinite Power, you will see that all this you are. Being man I am everything, being that indefinite man or species-man, I am everything. You are all one. Just rise above this misterness and mrs.-ness, rise above that and you become one with the All. What a grand idea! You become one with the All. Then you become one with the whole universe.
Here is a translation of one piece of an Upanishad verse, but it is not a perfect translation.
I am the Unseen Spirit which informs
All subtle essence! I flame in fire,
I shine in Sun and Moon, planets and stars!
I blow with the winds, roll with the waves!
I am the man and woman, youth and maid!
The babe newborn, the withered ancient, propped
Upon his staff! I am Whatever is—
The black bee and the tiger and the fish,
The green birds with red eyes, the tree, the grass,
The cloud that hath the lightning in its womb,
The seasons and the seas! In Me they are,
In Me begin and end."
(Upanishad, Sir Edwin Arnold’s translation)
Infinite you are, that Infinity you are, and as that Infinity, as it were, have created these imaginary, false illusory bodies; you have made this world like a mirror house for yourself. Take care of the One Infinite, Universal God and the same you are, that dwells and permeates this world.

Reference from Vedic literature:
One of the grandest conceptions of God in the whole of Vedic literature is found in the last chapter of the Shukla Yajur Veda Samhita, which is known as the Ishavasya Upanishad.
"Isavasyam idam sarvam yat kim ca jagatyam jagat, tena tyaktena bhunjithah ma gridhah kasyasvid dhanam"
It is said that whatever there is in this world is to be filled and covered with isha or Ishvara (ishavasyamidam sarvam). God creates this world, then enters into everything. The idea is put forward even more forcefully in the Taittiriya Upanishad:
‘It created all this that exists. Having created (that) It entered therein. Having entered, It became the formed and the formless.’
The Upanishad says that ‘It’ contemplated and projected (created) the universe, and then entered into the created objects and became one with both the manifest, gross and concrete creation as well as the unmanifest, subtle and abstract.
The universe is the abode of God. The Lord is the ruler of the universe as well as its indweller.
