Experience of God

Experience alone is true knowledge.

Instead of questioning if God exists or not, i think more important question would be to find out what is God?How different religions, sects of people consider God? Is he a supernatural human being? Is he is some other living creature? Is he\it a principle? Is he\it a human concept to understand something? If he exists, does he care about good or bad as humans conceive them? Can there be a God if humans do not exist? Does belief\faith in God in any away affect human life?

Some say God is ‘Experience of Awareness of the Truth’. It is some sort of experience which cannot be explained to people who have not already experienced it. Try explaining things to people who are deprived of specific emotions like love, anger etc the experience of these qualities. There is limitation to language used to describe it and the number of words. In this way, God if it is experience of awareness of one true self ‘ is very hard to understand concept for all of us who have not felt it until now.

It is as absurd as explaining a heterosexual the true feelings of attraction of a homosexual to another man. The explanation that it is natural will not sink in the heterosexual who can never step into shoes of the homo in order to feel the experience. He cannot empathize since he himself is not something which the other is.

To the heterosexual imagination homosexual is a guy who enjoys anal and other stuff with other male. He could never experience the homosexual experience in the same way the homo could feel it since he is not what homo is.

And words may not be adequate to describe or define concepts like these which we have not experienced. We only heard of them from scriptures and old books.
