What is God and What is our Relationship with Him? By Hazur Baba Sawan Singh (Philosophy of the Masters)

What is God and What is our Relationship with Him? By Hazur Baba Sawan Singh (Philosophy of the Masters)

"The Lord is the great storehouse of consciousness. He is the embodiment of reason and the treasure-house of intelligence. He is the repository of love and compassion. We are parts of Him; He is the whole. The essence of which our souls is made, its fountain source, is called the Lord. If we are a drop of consciousness, He is the Ocean of Consciousness. We are a ray of the essence of consciousness, and He is the sun of the essence of consciousness. Every particle is a part of the whole. Our real substance is a part of that whole, which is called the Lord.

"The scriptures also proclaim that son is the soul of father. Just as a tree produces seeds, and a seed grows into a tree, similarly all beings spring from God. All living beings are of the same essence as the Lord. They are His children. Just as a child is a part of the flesh of the mother, it lives in her womb and is brought up there, similarly we are born in God, are brought up in Him, and are connected with Him in the same way as a child is with the mother; in fact, he is never separate from her. The mother’s connection with the child is natural. He may be unwise or ignorant, but the mother takes care of him. In fact, she is obliged to do so. A mother is never neglectful of her child. Because of her genuine love, she cannot be indifferent to him.

"We have an even stronger connection with the Lord. We are particles of the Lord. The relationship between us and the Lord is that of a part to the whole. There is no distinction between the ocean and its waves. There is no difference between the sun and its rays. The Lord is never unmindful of us even for a moment. He is always looking after us. We have never been separated from Him. He is always with us and always pervades our entire being." (Gurumat Siddhant, The Philosophy of the Masters)
