Friends,
I read all postings about ideas about God and got an idea that we all believe in him and have different ways of communicating with him. Inspite of that we have a lot of questions , some which have answers and some of which dont.I would like to share with you all a book which I read and which changed my way of thinking about God and all our fantasies. The title of the book is ' Power,Freedom and Grace' by Deepak Chopra. He is a very well known author and also a physician, he has contributed many writings on spiritual books and Yoga. The summary of the book is that all the things that exist in this Universe, including us all are' One ' and this world even though it seems real, is actually virtual.We have to flow with the nature and feel ' one' with everyone, even with the inanimate objects. Also whatever we think, also count as much as actions count, so we must not think bad about anyone, and know that the same divine soul exists in the other person as it exists inside us.This world is Gods play and we all are playing different roles, it may be good or bad, but to attain Moksha, we have to rise above the good and the bad, and not judge anyone.Only God has the right to judge. We should always live in the present moment and not dwell either in the past or future. Also we should not even worry about any happenings or anticipated problems, situations, because by worrying, we are not trusting the good forces of nature, and we go against the power of nature. By living in the present moment, and being Happy, we flow with the power of nature, and great miracles or Coincidences happen . This is how God communicates with us. We should try to communicate with our inner soul and also remind ourselves always that everything that exists , is all ONE (Advait)This way, we will not heel hatred for others , or jealousy and we will never feel alone. Every living being on this earth is divine and no one is more or less important than the other. We all are complete entities, and we should be happy for what we are.
Please read the book by Deepak Chopra.I highly recommend it to anyone who is curious to Know God.

Yes I know about Deepak Chopra and have had opportunity to have a quick look at his stuff. Never read a book/attended his session though.
Does he say anything about why' s and how' s behind this concept of his? He is just telling us what to do. How did he reach this? I am interested to know but no time to read the book as of now. Will read one at some time for sure.

Hi Saheli, I am happy to know that you took interest in the book. Dr.Deepak Chopra has wonderfully explained his concepts according to the physicists angle and modern science. However it is too complicated to quote here .However when I started reading the book, I seemed to flow with his writing and it really changed my outlook towards the universe.He has also said that if we find some time to meditate and connect to our soul, everyday, then we can get Power, Freedom and Grace, explaining all three of them beautifully. I have read his other books too, but this one is the simplest to understand and the best.
