    How does God respond? Your views/experiences

    Thank you all, i have another question, instead of a starting a new thread, i guess this would have been asked and answered elsewhere in this forum. I have read about the Buddha who says that there exists no "atma" and no "paramatma", however he tells that there are "higher" beings in higher...

I just want to become "God loving" through understanding a little bit rationally as to approaches for that instead of "God fearing".

    How does God respond? Your views/experiences

    Hi, thanks for all your replies. I understand that the "God" in in itself has no desires to do anything, "he/she is just is" it's a kind of a force that simply "is" "nirguna brahma".

    How does God respond? Your views/experiences

    Hi all, I'm having this primordial question bugging me, how does God respond to your prayers/distress signals/your happiness/sorrow other emotions etc... This is my experience, he has never answered a single good meaning prayer of mine, never responded to my distress signals, no amount of...
