God is not an outsider!

It is generally said that we are not and we can never be God or part of Him. In thus saying we appear to be making a twin-error – one, in reducing “we” to our limited physical body and two, in assuming that God is less than the whole or total or absolute.

If by God we mean “the person (or entity) who/that created the universe, sustains it and would eventually end it” then the difficulty in imagining we are that is certainly difficult. This is because by the very definition we have separated the creator and the created.

But if by God we mean “that which is and is not”, then we would see that everything is God in the varieties of His Truth, because there is no separation between the creator and the created.

If everything seems so un-God-like to us in our normal state, it is only because we see with our limited understanding. The whole aim of spiritual teachings is to awaken us to our capacity to see without any limitations. Even that which perishes transforms itself into the state of is-not. Therefore it can be seen that the situation of duality does not deny the reality of non-duality.
