Where is God? (Maybe at the Shiva temple in Tiruvannamalai, India)

Where to find him?

I tried to find Him on the Christian cross,
but He was not there;

I went to the Temple of the Hindus and to the old pagodas,
but I could not find a trace of Him anywhere.

I searched on the mountains and in the valleys,
but neither in the hights nor in the depths was I able to find Him.

I went to the Caaba in Mecca,
but He was not there either.

I questioned the scholars and philosophers,
but He was beyond their understanding.

I then looked into my heart and it was there where He dwelled that i saw him;
he was nowhere else to be found.

  1. Try going to a place called Puttaparthi…if you have good karma, maybe you can see GOD in living flesh and blood…of course, HE is omnipresent and the main head quarters is in One’ spiritual heart….

  2. NOW
    as i SEE the Shiva temple
    She( God ) sings( my Surround )

    Give Blood

    THAT just means ride the razors edge
    of Creation( God )

    where She is SEEN with ordinary functional
    senses( the real Soul )

    Her appearance is Love.

    NOW before i finish
    She sings

    Station to Station

    ..Soul to Soul
