The question of whether God is omnipresent has intrigued spiritual seekers throughout history, prompting reflection on the nature of divine existence and its relationship to the material world. Many traditions hold that God pervades every aspect of reality, existing in every place and moment, while others see the divine presence in a distinct way. Regardless of the specific belief system, contemplating Godโs omnipresence invites us to examine our own connection to the sacred, the universe, and each other.

Question: ๐๐จ ๐๐ค๐ ๐ค๐ข๐ฃ๐๐ฅ๐ง๐๐จ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ?
โ ๐๐ก๐ฆ๐ช๐๐ฅ โ
The word "omnipresent" is a religion-made word that suggests that "god lives in everything & in everyone" >> which is not precise and 'limits' what god really is.
โญGod is the ๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ & ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ itself. Yet, god is its '๐ฌ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐' too >> this "dual nature" can be perfectly explained with the example of "ocean".
โจUnderstand ๐จ๐๐๐๐ง as 'god' and the ๐ซ๐๐ข๐ง as all the souls (tiny drops of water emerged from the ocean)
๐Are those drops separate from the ocean? In one way, you may see them as separate... but ultimately, they are a "part" of that ocean... it is the ๐ฌ๐๐ฆ๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ญ๐๐ซ that makes the rain and fills the ocean.
๐งAnd then, the same water evoporates and make clouds... the ๐๐ฒ๐๐ฅ๐ goes on... isn't it beautiful!
๐So shall we say that the ocean is "omnipresent" or shall we say that ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐ก๐๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐จ๐๐๐๐ง. All of us are "a part of god"... Just as those clouds... We came from it, and WE ARE IT.
"A small part of the ocean separates itself from the rest of it, and become 'clouds'... the same cloud falls on the ocean as 'rain' and merges again"
WHY IS IT LIKE THIS? The explanation is profound and deep... and we have touched this in some of my responses time and time again.
๐ณWe have talked about the "process of discovery" and the truth of "relativity" >> we cannot experience 'hot' without the knowledge of 'cold', ๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ without the knowledge of 'darkness' and in daily life, say ๐ฃ๐จ๐ฒ without the knowledge of 'sorrow'
๐This world is based on this "duality"... Philosphers and sages has called it Maya (illusion). But indeed it is a mixture of TRUTH and MAYA.
๐In the most generic sense, we cannot experience TRUTH (WHO WE ARE) without knowing and experiencing MAYA (WHO WE ARE NOT)
