It’s an interesting issue to share and throw much light upon
how we may frame the attributes of God
within boundaries of words

to discuss in details
how spiritual wisdom has been understood
in different modes dear blessed souls?

Each linage has it’s own experiences and excellencies.
I will prefer to keep myself neutral here.
After a certain level,
spiritual know how becomes indescribable as God himself is and even after knowing this,
instead how to achieve,
we like to discuss about achievements
at intellectual level in speech mode?

Duality/non duality, personal/impersonal…….I keep myself away from these factors
and
like to fix my mind on God with the abilities within me
and
hardest approach under strict spiritual disciplines.

But if to share,
looks to me that different steps and stages are there
to which we normally term with different words
but linked with each other and which gets changed
with gradual elevations while traversing upon this path.
Like if to say in one line for me…”Duality is a step to non duality”…
without having any intention
to claim whether it is right or wrong.
To dive much in conceptual sharing invites debate which has no end.
I am wondered to see that most of our enlightened masters were without any academic backgrounds.
They preferred in showing rather than saying to their deserving disciples.
They simply worshiped God with intent
devotion, dedication and total surrender
and
attained the ultimate bliss with direct perception.

We have many concepts with different views and like always to keep them alive.
Probably because we have a wish to solve this greatest mystery only at intellectual level.
And because of the individual differences which will ever exist,
never reach to any certain conclusion.

Well scriptures are always with us which work as lamp posts and are the authority
on what ought and ought not to be done.
But I prefer to dive in ordained action first
and
then to refer scripture for further guidance when required.

To define and confine God within the boundaries of few words looks to be very difficult for me.
I don’t know how God would prefer to appear before me and since He is indescribable,
how I would be able to describe HIM or HIS attributes
at
the last moments of my Self Realization?

I accept Bhagavad Gita as seed scripture
for entire mankind around the globe
and
always get practical guidance from metaphysical depths of it’s verses.

Bhagavad Gita sings:
“It is the ignorant rather than men of wisdom
who make distinction between Way of Knowledge and the Way of Selfless Action i.e Way of Devotion,
for he who dwells well in any one of the two attains to God.”
who make distinction between Way of Knowledge and the Way of Selfless Action i.e Way of Devotion,
for he who dwells well in any one of the two attains to God.”
And then:
“That man perceives reality who regards
the Way of Knowledge and the Way of Selfless Action as identical,
because the liberation attained by knowledge is also achieved by selfless action.”
the Way of Knowledge and the Way of Selfless Action as identical,
because the liberation attained by knowledge is also achieved by selfless action.”
The goal which is reached by the worshiper of knowledge and discrimination is also achieved
by
the doer of selfless action.
So he knows the truth who regards the two ways as similar
from the point of view of consequence.

To my experience, adoration starts with Saguna and ends with Nirguna.
But again this is how I feel with great respect to Spiritual wisdom of our most revered sages
without any doubt.
May be, my experiences are from a very plane surface,
too far from the reality
but
this is how I personally experience.
Humble Wishes!
