Faith in the Holy Spirit

[Noya]

John 14:15-17

"If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever- the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you."

These verses explain that without Christ you cannot receive the Holy Spirit.

Sometimes I think the Holy Spirit is the Paramatma, who resides within our own self.

"The Lord is the constant companion of the living entity as Paramatma, or the Supersoul, and therefore He can understand the desires of the individual soul, as one can smell the flavor of a flower by being near it."
Bhagavad-gita 5:15

"Yet in this body there is another, a transcendental enjoyer, who is the Lord, the supreme proprietor, who exists as the overseer and permitter, and who is known as the Supersoul."
Bhgavad-gita 13:23

Thanks for sharing!

John 14:15-17

"If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever- the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you."

That helper is "Word"

This "Word" is not the special language of any country, This "Word" cannot be spoken with human tounge, this word is residing within everybody but we are disconnected, But.. once connected it remain with us for ever.

I am not quite sure if this post is saying that no one can receive the holy spirit on earth or not and thus he doesn't mean anything for us on the earth and is useless for now or what it means.

I will however add that, if that is indeed what you are saying, I would agree, except I would say the Holy Spirit "likely" doesn't exist. Simply, too many people have contradicting messages all in the name of the holy spirit. It is clear that people can and are tricked into thinking that their own opinions or feelings are a type of spirit.

One could say that "those" people who speak contradictory messages aren't "really" inspired by the Holy Spirit, but are delusional. Of course that would be to admit that billions of people have been tricked, but you somehow haven't. I have yet to see any reason to believe that these people aren't all delusional in that case.
