Beautiful quotes of Gurudev about God & Mind

God is Not
God is not the object of sight; you can never see God. God is not an object of hearing. God is not an object of smelling or tasting. God cannot be perceived through your senses, nor through the mind.
God Is
God is the Seer himself. Who sees---that is God.
Seeing God
You can live God. You can be God. But you cannot "see" God, perceive God as an Object

Mind is a Field
Mind is not just in one location. Mind is a field, like an electric field. Like an electromagnetic field,it's present all over.

Wrapping Paper
Mind is that cover that is holding the Divine, the Divinity within us. Once that wrapping paper is unwrapped, you find, "Oh, this beautiful gift is here within us!" You know, it's like everyone is given a Christmas package, a beautiful package, and they live with the beautiful without even opening it.

According to Jain Philosophy, what we worship is the qualities that our respective individual God have, and not the Krishna or Rama or Shankara as somebody who use to be and is there up in heaven. We worship the qualities in the urge of developing the same in to ourselves. We have done enough good (Punya) so we got birth as Human beings and this is the opportunity to get rid of Jeevan maran Chakra and achive Moksha.
