That is the golden question! Every body wants to know the answer of this question. Before answering this question i will like to discuss the limitations of the human brain. You perceive the nature and other things through your senses. You can see, you can hear, you can smell, you can taste, you can get the sensations from your skin and joints and other parts of the body. i will try to analyse about what can you see. There is vast spectrum called as electromagnetic spectrum. You can 'see' through only the 'visible' spectrum. Part of this electromagnetic spectrum. Then how can you 'see' the God who can be beyond this electromagnetic spectrum? Your ability to smell the thing is very limited. Dog and many other animals can smell much better than you. Naturally they can smell better than you can smell the God. Your ability to hear is in very limited range. Your ability to taste is very limited. Only few flavors are there, that you can taste. How are you supposed to taste the God as a whole with this limited capabilities. You do not feel the magnetism. Then how are you supposed to know the magnetic effect that God has got? The point of all this discussion is to denote that you are too stupid to know that what in infinitely powerful God looks like. The first thing that you get to know that you are too stupid to handle the God and stop fighting and killing people over what the God look like. God is infinite and you are nothing as compared to Him. So let your ego go away and start loving the life and humanity and the ecosystem, that is given to you be God.Now coming to the point of God as per Bhagwad Geeta. (Bhagwat Geeta.) Krishna says that He is there with out a birth and He is the one, who can not be destroyed. (4/6). God is there every where. (5/15). God is there in every living being. Every living being is 'same' and 'equal'. So everybody is like you and you are like every body else. You are there in everybody and everybody is there in you. (6/29). The person, who sees that Myself is there in everybody and everybody is there in Myself, sees the truth. ( 6/30). Every living and non-living thing originates from Me. (7/ 4-5). Everything arise from Myself and disappear into Myself. (7/6). Everything that is good and bad comes from Me. But then those things are not there in Me and I am not there in them. (At many places in Geeta, God makes such contradictory looking like statements. This happens because God is beyond the logic. He is much more than what logic can explain.) Lord Krishna says that everybody is under the influence of these earthly things and as such can not understands the Myself, who is beyond the thinking and logic. (7/13). The people with limited intellectual capacity can not understand the Me, who is beyond the intelligence. They think that I am ordinary like them only. I take a birth and I die. ( When ever God takes a birth, He comes through proper channel only. Like ordinary life. The rules of nature are designed by the God and He too fallows them. That is why Lord Jesus got himself crucified. That is why Lord Krishna was killed by an arrow.) I know the past, present and future. Nobody knows Me completely. ( 7/26). As the day of Brahma begins, everything that is living and non-living comes out of nothing. At the end of the day of Brahma, everything disappears into nothing. (8/18). This cycle is repeated, repeatedly. (8/19). There is something, which is beyond that nothing. It is not destroyed. even when everything else is destroyed. (8/20). That is called as ' Akshar". ( Akshar means that, what can not be destroyed.) It is the 'ultimate'. When you go there, you never come back. ( As i studied Geeta, i came to know that i and everybody is same. All are part of that infinite God only. We are one and are only separated by the ego, that we possess. As every soul is (probably) part of infinite God, let us see the characteristics of this soul.) Soul is indestructible. (2/17). The soul is never born, never dies. The soul is there, it was there, it will be there. ( Few words are inconceivable and can not be translated.) This soul can not be cut into pieces by any weapon. Fire can not burn it. Airflow can not dry it. (2/23). Because this soul is unbreakable, can not be burned, can not be dried, It has been there, it is there, it will be there. It is everywhere. It is immovable. It is stable. It has been there all the time. ( The repetitions are done to stress the importance of the facts, probably.) You get ultimate peace and happiness at the place of God. This never ever ends.
