If God is within us, then why cant we see Him?

Answer 1

God is Spirit and to behold Him we need to do so in spirit. With our spirit we can behold and even reflect this one like a mirror in His glory. The more we behold the more we reflect out to others this wonderful one we see each day. We can see Him through the enjoyment in the Word. Through fellowship in spirit with Him every day. WHen we take the time to be with Him in such a way He is able to really impress our being more and more with Who He is. Its a real inner knowing and relalization that He is more than able to give us.
May our hearts never stop seeing deeper depths and higher heights in the precious Lord indwelling us.

Answer 2

Make no mistake about it. You can never see God. Perhaps you can experience his presence. God is a logical derivation and a hypothesis. Logically it can be proved that there is a superpower which supports this universe. For some reason we have not been given the power to visualise this. Like you know the present day science cannot define the end of space or what will happen to the expanding universe. It is simply we are not yet evolved enough to define these things.

Firstly: A soul is not visible to these fizical eyes.
Secondly: Are you in everyone? If God is in everyone it means you are in every one? Are you in Bin Laden? Or are you him? Because if you are him - why don't they arrest you?


Some of the souls who are now worshiping the deityes were those deityes at some point, but are not that now. They are going to be that once again later on. God is the One who makes those who were worsip-worthy and became worshipers into worship-worthy again. Why? Because He Himeself never becomes becomes a worshiper, but remains always ParamPujyia - Supremely Worship Worthy.

Only those who don't know God and just say His name from their dreams or from whatever their narrow mind can think of - say that God is within every one. God Himself, the Supreme Soul - Paramaatma never said this. Have you got the right to say this on behalf of Him? Did He give you that right? A soul is a soul and just one. Being just one a soul cannot be everywhere and in everyone. If God is in you would God be sitting here to worship Himself? Would He become so silly and unconscious as to do wrong actions and sins? Would He be swearing, drinking, beating, raping, killing .... giving other types of sorrow? Would you say that about God? Then if God does that why would He be worthy of worship? Would you worship such a God? Are you aware of what you say when you say taht God is within us? Can you understand how much of a defamation that is for God? Would God be so degraded to deserve a degraded body whose mouth smells like ... every morning? Would God have to be pempered by a human mother? Really dear brother, are you applying your judgement to the words you are saying?

There is a soul in each body - that is true. And only souls become degraded from elevated that is worshipers from worship-worthy - but that does not apply to GOD otherwise He would no more be GOD and i would not give even a heart-bit for such a GOD who becomes degraded. What is the use of a degraded soul? Or do you think that everyone in the world now is Supremely-holly?

Also there is a very deep connection between every soul that lives or will live or has ever lived in this world, but that connection is called Karma. It means that whatever i think, feel, say ,do and make others do - it will deeply affect everyone on this planet - but it deffinitely does not mean i am everyone or in everyone. WAKE UP BROTHER!


Mahatma is one thing ------- Paramaatma is another thing
Pavitra is one thing ------- Parampavitra is another thing
Remover of sorrow and bestower of happiness is one thing ------- Remover of sorrow and bestower of happiness FOR ALL is another thing.

Every word has a meaning. Like one thing is NO SUGAR and another thing is NO SUGAR ADDED.

If you search for God as something that is in everyone you are going to search until the end of time without finding Him.

However when the words that were said above will make sense to you - you will begin having chances to find God.

You are a dear brother and it is up to you to make sense of this or not.

Best Regards.

Answer 4

Foot prints on the sand indicate that a person has been here. Dung indicates that an animal has been here. Similarly This whole universe and us creatures indicate that God exists.
But God is not within but we are the signs that god exists. If god could have been within us we could not have sinned.

Answer 5

It explains in the Vedic literatures, especially the Bhagavada Gita that the Supreme Spirit or Parabrahman, Krishna the Supreme Lord is situated in everyones heart. This is a fact. The body is a temple of God. Unfortunately because of material conditioning we cannot see God face to face. But the scriptures explain, satatam kirtayantoh mam, by always chanting the glories of Krishna (God), Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare, which are very intimate names of the Lord that are recommended for chanting in this current age of Kali Yuga (the age of quarrel and hypocracy), we can purify our consciousness and be elevated to the spiritual platform, where we will not experience hankering or lamentation and we will be awarded the eyes to see God. Sastra caksus.

Answer 6

Look at your body.It is not yours. It came from where you were born you can have no control over your body.You don't know what's going to happen to your body next minute: just like you know another person's body- know that your body is god and is given by god.Everybody has conscience in their minds that tell you what is right no matter what you do : hear the god through this.When you pray hard for something and achieves it, FEEL the love of god.

Answer 8

Friend,

Scriptures describe that the human sense organs cant see, smell, touch,taste and hear HIM though He is inside.The motor organs too are similarly have limited power.They, these organs work because of Him.The mind though we think it is superior, the intellect we have is insufficient and infinitely small to Grasp Him in TOTALITY.

We have to transcend the intellect through the intellect and then alone you will be slowly blessed to have a glimpse of Him.

With layers after layers of ignorance that are covering this PURE LIGHT , we cant see the light unless we struggle to remove the thick blankets of ignorance in us.

If we succeed then you are blessed.

You see we cant even see the daily rising sun at noon with naked eye .So limited are our instruments.

Let us hope we by HIS GRACE will be able to remove some layers of ignorance at least.

God bless all.

Answer 9

God within us is seeing its creation. Light sees its illusion.

When this vision is turned inside God sees itself. Light sees itself.

Answer 10

Because of the Veils of material energy are blocking ones eyes from seeing. When God becomes pleased with our service to Him, He then reveals Himself to us. The quickest way to get His attention is to chant His holy Names that is the greatest service and sacrifice says He. Bhagavad Gita as it is BY Bhaktivedanta Prahbupada Then one can see even beyond His light energy to His Beautiful Smiling Face. Krishna is so amazingly,Supremely Beautiful. You can see too. Arjuna could see because he became Krishna's dear friend. We have to make God our Friend and then he reveals His names ,forms, qualities and Pastimes.
