God in One Sentence

chinu

chinu
Once god appeared infront of one women and asked her to wish something, Said that women; I want a box which contains 100 penis, But, god gave her three boxes.

Said the women; God i want just one box,
Replied the God; Another two boxes contains the sets of 200 balls which comes along with these penises :D

If you only had one sentence to write, how would you define God? :shrug:
God is an exaggerated concept derived from emotional experience that attempts to define unconscious, but latent aspects of personality, deeply buried in the psyche of the human animal (and other beings).

I think this is the right board to ask this question, because I'm interested in seeing a comparison of beliefs about God that people have.

If you only had one sentence to write, how would you define God? :shrug:

The Parents of eternal, unchanging, unconditional love, the original source and motivation for all of creation.

That is my one sentence answer, but you can spend a life time expressing and living it. Which is the way it is meant to be. And I really like that you asked this question.

God is the foundation of everything:it is fullness,creativity,unfolding,eternal, unity and all embracing love.
 

Me Myself

Back to my username
"God" is the term I use when I refer to the entirety of existence while accepting its intrinsic conscious nature.
 
from my school's tradition of Yogic theism I can say what god is in a sentence,

God is defined as the 'supreme personality of godhead'.

re-stated

The 'supreme personality of godhead' is unlimitedly "Full" in these specific 'six opulences', the 'six opulences' that define Godhead are,

All strength (all power),
All wealth (all glories),
All beauty (esthetic of perfection),
All Famous (known through the ages),
All Intelligence (consciousness),
All renunciation (un-bound to bondage of 'maya-shakti')

PS: we souls in the material world of 'maya-shakti' are tiny sparks of the "Supreme-Soul" (Oops, that is another description of God, in two words).
We souls inherit small degrees of the same 6 opulences, but only Godhead, has them "in-full".

So the soul can never become Godhead, but many souls have tried to imitate the status of a God.

Btw, the six opulences are specific to God. but inaddition, there are the six-feminine opulences mentioned in the Gita 10.43


While I mention it, there are many verses in the Gita that describe the natural characteristics of workers, and personality types. But in the Gita God is speaking directly to a prince.

رسول الآلهة
I think of Surat al-Ihklas "Say He is Allah, The One, Allah is eternal and absolute as he begets not, nor was He begotten and there is none coequal unto Him"

God is without need or help. He is beyond us and is not a being who holds form or a figure of any kind. He is beyond such absurdities and beyond our very grasp. He loves his creation but he does not physically intervene in it like many claim. He has no need to intervene in a creation that is perfect as if he ever did intervene it would only mean he is imperfect and not worth our admiration, respect, veneration yet alone worship.
