Thank you Ma Sashikala and Iyyarroran.

Sri. Sangom.

This thread was started as a Sathsangh. Basically based on Bhakthi Yoga. What I have stated is not an assumption but a Belief. Belief is something which can not be proved. Especially Religious Beliefs. This is my conception of GOD. May be your conception is different.

No conception is wrong. No conception is superior to others. Hinduism allows everyone to have his/her own conception of GOD.

I have requested the members to post their conception of GOD. That would enable us to understand the different conceptions which vary from Individual to Individual.

Peace be with you.

Shri Nacchinarkiniyan,

I thought you would like to view comments also. Anyway sorry that I did not understand your intention.

My concept about God is that it is the thing which manifests as life - from the lowliest to the highest forms. It is mysterious in the sense it is not comprehended by the human mind or brain; and I feel it will ever remain so, because the "knower cannot be known".

The life force withdraws from a body once it becomes unfit for functioning, like a machine beyond repair. Where it goes back and from where it comes can best be explained by imagining a universal life force field (just like the gravitational field) which pervades everything, everywhere and perhaps eternally too - we can't say. Wherever conditions conducive to the manifestation of a life form arises (for example when milk has some curd added to it, there is a favourable condition for production of lacto-bacilli, good for human consumption and, accordingly, millions of them get produced; but if milk is just left like that, a different kind of lacto-bacilli get produced because the conditions are different.)

when an organism "dies" the life energy or principle withdraws from it that is all. There is no soul, individually and no rebirth of a packet soul as another organism.

Karma (both good and bad) pollute this universal life force field which may be compared to the "nirguna parabrahman" of advaita; good karma results in the polluted life energy giving good or favourable results and vice versa. Hence the prime need to follow the path of virtue - not necessarily what religion says as virtuous.

In this context of the last point stated above viz., vedapramanyam, there is a sloka in "Brahmana Varttikam". I shall find it out and post if I am able to get.
