Selected Questions and Answers

Q: Could you define God? You use the word “God” very often. What is your meaning?

M: I don’t really know how to define Hirm. It is as difficult as to define love when you fall in love. But I’ll try. I am just afraid that even the most eloquent person on this planet cannot glorify God with this limited language of humankind. (Applause) I can only tell you very humbly that God is the One who created us. From God we came out, and to God we will return. You can call Hirm another name: the Most High, the Father, the Mother, the Buddha, the Chief Buddha, the Buddha Nature, the Allah or whatever. The most holy or sacred name that humankind uses is “God.” So I also temporarily have to use that name to describe our Father to you, the Creator of all beings, the One who gives us all love and life in this world.

Without God, we could not even breathe here! We could not function and we could not even think. Hes is the source of all wisdom and all happiness. When you’re in the most happy moment of your life, that’s when you are very close to the happiness of Heaven and close to God. When you’re most loving in your heart, when you give unconditionally, that is when God manifests within you. And the more this quality manifests within and without you, that means the more you are close to God. God is not something we can talk about. We can only feel it. We can know it, and we can enjoy; because God is a tremendous power of love and protection and forgiveness and safety. Once we rest in the knowledge and the recognition of God, we fear nothing. Just like the Bible says, “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” Only when we know God, can we say that.
