God is a misconstrued term. God is a passive entity that is active and in force like an active legal principle enforceable at its own . It is this law which manifests into what the Hindu belief system calls the law of Karma. Karma means both, an action as well as its consequence. That generates a cycle of cause and effect. God is nowhere involved in the cause or its effect. What is involved is the law that runs the ongoing cycle.
God is not an entity accessible outwardly, through the senses . God awareness has a pre-requisite. The senses which has an inbuilt nature of lying extroverted, except in sleep or like state, require introversion. The process of introversion is the 5th stage defined in Patanjali's Raj Yoga, called Pratyahar, I.e sense withdrawal. The next three steps are dharna, dhyana, samadhi.
These big names shouldn't frighten. The idea is to explain the initial steps. That initial step is self awareness in whatever small or big way one may develop.
........ Jo sukh Mei sumiran Kate ........ is that first step of developing self awareness of the being that resides within in whatever form one might like to believe or even disbelieve.
The scientific value of this introversion , may be explained in terms of the influence its casts on the cause - effect cycle and on the progressive emancipation man achieves from the bondage and perils of Karma.
This obviously required elaboration, that I propose in subsequent posts.
