Even though God is unimaginable, the existence of God is very near to you

Even though God is unimaginable, the existence of God is very near to you
Human incarnation components

The God in human incarnation is the first component, which is the absolute reality. The human being in the human incarnation is the second component, which is the relative reality or a part of illusion. Therefore, when you say that the human incarnation is God and that nothing other than God exists, it is true in the absolute sense.  You can even say that the entire creation other than God is not true in the absolute sense. But, for the practical sense, the God is unseen and in fact, unimaginable and only the creation or the illusion alone exists as truth. You can take any part of the creation, which may be inert object or a living being to represent God as a model (Pritika Upasanam) and in such case God is unimaginable and also far.

In the case of human incarnation God is unimaginable but exists infront of you. As long as God is unimaginable, you may say that there is no difference between God existing near or far. Even the human being, which is liberated soul, existing in human incarnation is unable to imagine the absolute God existing in it. In such case how can the human beings existing outside can recognize absolute God? You need not worry thinking that there is no use of the existence of God near yourself through human incarnation as long as God is unimaginable.

Even though God is unimaginable, the existence of God is very near to you. The human being charged by God can be almost treated as God just like the electrified wire can be treated as current. When God enters human being, God remains as the absolute God and also becomes the human being as said in Veda (Satcha tyatcha abhavat). The current remains as current, which is a stream of electrons. At the same time the metallic wire also can be treated as current because the wire gives shock anywhere. Therefore, the concept of human incarnation is not waste since the human being also acts as God. In the time of preaching the true knowledge, the human incarnation acts as God and in all other occasions, the human incarnation acts as human being only. It is like the dual nature of electron. The electron acts as a wave in certain contexts and acts as particle in other contexts. All these examples like electrified wire, electron etc are imaginable items only and no single item can stand as a complete and perfect example.

 You have to build up the total true concept of the unimaginable God with the help of all the partial examples, since, except God there is no unimaginable item. The entire creation is either manifested visible form or un-manifested invisible form. The matter is visible and the energy existing in the matter is invisible. The energy exists in visible form also as light. Both these visible and invisible forms are imaginable only.
