Lovely poem of God. And interesting book of salts.THE NEW NAME
"And I will write upon him the name of my God." "And I will write upon him my new name."-Revelation.
Man struggling up to the sunlight,
Up from the mire and clay,
Fighting through wars and jungles,
And sometimes learning to pray-
And sometimes a king with a scepter,
And sometimes a slave with a hod;
Some people call it Karma,
And others call it God.
A beggar ragged and hungry,
A prince in purple and gold,
A palace gilded and garnished,
A cottage humble and old-
One's hopes are blighted in blooming,
One gathers the ripened pod-
Some call it Fate or Destiny,
And others call it God.
Glimmering waters and breakers,
Far on the horizon's rim,
White sails and sea-gulls glinting
Away till the sight grows dim,
And shells, spirit-painted with glory,
Where seaweeds beckon and nod-
Some people call it Ocean,
And others call it God.
Cathedrals and domes uplifting,
Spires pointing up to the sun,
Images, altars and arches,
Where kneeling and penance are done-
From organs grand anthems are swelling,
Where the true and faithful plod-
Some call it Superstition,
While others call it God.
Visions of beauty and splendor,
Forms of a long-lost race,
Sounds of faces and voices,
From the fourth dimension of space-
And on through the universe boundless,
Our thoughts go lightning shod-
Some call it Imagination,
And others call it God.
Acids and alkalies acting,
Proceeding and acting again,
Operating, transmuting, fomenting,
In throes and spasms of pain-
Uniting, reacting, creating,
like souls "passing under the rod"-
Some people call it Chemistry,
And others call it God.
Vibration of Etheric Substance,
Causing light through regions of space,
A girdle of Something, enfolding,
And binding together the race-
And words without wires transmitted,
"Ariel"-,winged, spirit-sandaled and shod-
Some call it Electricity,
And others call it God.
Earth redeemed and made glorious,
Lighted by Heaven within,
Men and angels face to face,
With never a thought of sin-
Lion and lamb together,
In flowers that sweeten the sod-
Some of us call it Brotherhood,
And others call it God.
And now the sixth sense is opened,
And we have rent the veil,
And we no longer wander,
We have ransomed the "Holy Grail.''
Through all of life's phases and changes,
Along all new paths to be trod,
We 'Will recognize only one power-
One present, Omnipotent God.

Simply put, "I Am that I Am". I'm quoting here, not saying this personally.A lot of people talk about God, but actually, they don' t know how to define "God".
For me god is just positive energy that surround the universe.
What is god for you?
GOD - there is no deity save Him, the Ever-Living, the Self-Subsistent Fount of All Being.A lot of people talk about God, but actually, they don' t know how to define "God".
For me god is just positive energy that surround the universe.
What is god for you?
A lot of people talk about God, but actually, they don' t know how to define "God".
As brother Daze highlighted we know and worship (The One God) through His names and attributes.God is as he has described himself. We define him by the names he has given himself.
If God is real, and has particular personality and attributes, the question “what is god to me” is akin to asking “what is Everest to me”.What is god for you?
Instead of parroting scripture, why don't you people think for yourself? It's like your "brains" flew out the window when your "god" entered your "heart".
God is Jesus Christ.
If God is real, and has particular personality and attributes, the question “what is god to me” is akin to asking “what is Everest to me”.
Everest is what it is, whatever I wish it to be or feel it to be.
Likewise with God, who famously said “I AM”.
You did the same thing here -Instead of parroting scripture, why don't you people think for yourself? It's like your "brains" flew out the window when your "god" entered your "heart".
Here's a great definition of God; Hindu, I think.
"3. God is endless above and below the universe. There is no place, or even the smallest particle that it does not permeate.
4. God permeates all of the water, land, wood, and stone. Not a single being is without it.
5. Just as water is in and around water animals, in the same way, this pure God is in and around all living beings.
6. However, this simile with water is not entirely appropriate, because there are dry places which exist apart from water, while it is not possible that anyone can ever go outside of God.
7. If one tries to run outside of the sky, it is not possible because the sky is always found in front of us. Similarly, there is no end to the endless God.
8. But even though it is only God that we meet continuously, it is inseparable from the body, and though it is what is closest to everyone, it is also hidden.
9. One exists within it but does not know it. One imagines to have understood it, but really the Absolute Reality cannot be understood." -- Dasbodh Chapter: 7,Sub-Chapter: 4
The difference is, I'm not a parrot.You did the same thing here -
The Father.A lot of people talk about God, but actually, they don' t know how to define "God".
For me god is just positive energy that surround the universe.
What is god for you?
