God?

Today while reading the book "The Power of Now", I came through an interesting question in the book. New age master Eckhart Tolle has given the answer beautifully. This was a question about God and Being.

So many people are in search of God. I must say that all the earthlings are in search of God, whereas all of us forgotten our true essence. Thus, giving rise to questions like,

"Who am I? Who is God? Where is God? What is God like? Is my God different from others? Why are there different Gods for different sects of people? What is the difference between all the Gods? If all the religion says God is One, than of all the Gods, which is the true God? How can I know myself? Saints say that they are Gods themselves. How can it be? How can I find the God in me? If all are born from God and merge in God, then why am I separate? Why is everyone separate from God? What can I do to reach God? I have sinned, will God ever accept me? If I find myself, will I find God? ..."

The questions never cease to bubble up. The answers by our religious leaders never satisfy us. Whats the way out? Where can one find such anwers? For sure, religious texts are not helping that much. Neither are the Gurus etc. Yet, there is a way out.

To be continued ...
