The very meaning of God is that there exists

nothing other than it.

God does not mean someone sitting somewhere

up in the sky and administering the world from

there. No, these are stories for children. What is

meant by God is that element other than which

nothing exists. This is the scientific definition of

God.

God means the whole, the total, everything –

whatever is. What is cannot have a shore,

because there remains nothing else to form the

coast. Therefore God is everywhere; there is no

shore. One who is ready to drown is saved. One

who tries to be saved, drowns.

We are in it. We are in what we are trying to find.

There is no need to call who we go on calling,

because there is not even that much gap that one

has to call.

That is why Kabir asked, “Has your God gone deaf

that you shout your

ajan

so loudly?” God is so

near that there is no need even to call him. Even if

there is silence within, that too will be heard – he

so near...
