Where is that God?

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

November 10, 1980

Q. It is said "rarely somebody appreciates the skill of God." What is that skill of God?

Where is that God? If you want to inquire about some skill, inquire about the skill of your parents. You have created a God because you want to beg from somebody and that is what you call spirituality.

Q. I don't believe in that kind of God. I believe that God is that touch of "I Amness" as Maharaj says.

If you really understood and digested what I have said you would not have set foot in this place.

Q. If I have understood what you have said there is no need for me to come - it's all right- but let me ask you, factually it is like..

What do you mean by facts?

Q. Even to understand that what should I do?

Do that thing which you can't do. This world of mAyA is built up of concepts only. I cannot charge the world with giving me the pain; the whole cause of the pain is this knowingness "I Am". When this knowingness was not there, was there any pain or pleasure? If you want to encounter God, dive deep into your own Self; that is the very storehouse of everything.
