concept of god

does god have attributes like awarding those who is loyal and punishing
who are disloyal?
or it is beyond our comprehension

Nirguna Brahman, is God without form in Hinduism. Even that definition is limiting. Nirguna Brahman is God, which is beyond human comprehension as opposed to
Saguna Brahman is God with personal characteristics or attributes.

Re: concept of god

obviously total comprehension is as much as a particular comprehendor can comprehend.

once the gallon jug is full, it don't matter how much more pours into it.

except, Hinduism provides methods for increasing the size of the container gradually. The methods take certain virtues (and development thereof). Much like the principle of the strength and size of the muscle that you use and the ones you don't.

Many a times we term such virtuous action as 'being loyal' and 'attempts to earn good points' - true but the rewards are for you, not the Brahman.

Ali is the only God worth worshipping.....if you ask shias.....even though they won't say it, but deep down thats what they all believe in......

hmmm wallahu alim…

rvizk..In Islam… This is based on the Hadith, in which the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, states: “Allah never disregards a good deed of a believer; he reward him for it in this world and in the Hereafter. As for a disbeliever, he is rewarded for the good deeds in this world so that when he is in the Afterlife, no more reward will be there for him.”.

IMHO ..so gathering from that.. yes God will reward you, but rewards you for what you do for this life …

In the Gita, Krishna clearly states knowledge of truth and the actions in quest of knowledge are the means to salvation - NOT ritualistic deal-making with God.

Check out the The Bhagavat Gita thread in S&P

Re: concept of god

After reading responses of Hindus and Christians on this board in recent years, I have realized that I am already a winner even being a muslim as God’s mercy is ultimate and He does not put people in Hell even if you disobey Him; while it’s otherwise in Islamic point of view besides the fact that God’s mercy is unlimited in this case too AND His Judgement knows no limits either. Now, if I am a Muslim and I behave like a Muslim, I am granted salvation and I am granted salvation anyway in the view point of other religions.

wah, aik ticket maiN dau mazzay :blush:
