Yoga tells us that God is
as real as we ourselves. God is among us, is
in us, is us, and yet is
beyond us. It has no beginning, no middle, and no end. God is eternal,
all-pervading, and beyond death, decay, and destruction. It is the total sum of
all that is. It is everything – knower, known, and the means of knowing. It is
endowed with limitless unrestricted power of will, power of knowledge, and
power of action. God is pure Being with the ability to become anything
imaginable. It is one, with the ability to become many. It is transcendental,
with the ability to become immanent. It is abstract, with the ability to become
perceptible. It is beyond time, space, and the law of causality with the
ability to become part of the world existing within the domain of time and
space. We attain Samadhi by surrendering to this God.
