It can’t be said that God is omnipresent

Baba says, “It can’t be said that the Father or God is omnipresent.”

  1. If God is omnipresent, then are all God? If God resides in everyone, then why are we still searching for Him? Why do we call out to Him or worship Him at the temples?
  2. If all are God, then there cannot be goddesses. If all are God, then souls themselves become the Father, and so there is no mother.
  3. A devotee by definition cannot be God. If they are God, then whom are they doing devotion for? Who will come and give the fruit of devotion?
  4. If devotees are God, then what more can one want? A devotee does devotion to meet God. To call oneself God is an insult to God?
  5. Also, devotees/human-beings take rebirth; God cannot take rebirth. Therefore, no human-being can be called God.
  6. We say we want to claim an inheritance of paradise from Allah. Then to say, “I am Allah or God”, how can that be? Allah is the greatest of all. No human-being can be Allah.
  7. The Father of all would be One. If everyone is God, then is this a Fatherhood?
  8. They say that there is a brotherhood, that all souls are brothers. When I speak of a brotherhood, how can I then speak of a fatherhood? How can I say that all are God? How can all the brothers be God? He is the unlimited Father of all souls.
  9. Devotees say that they are lovers of the Beloved. So then how can everyone be God?
  10. People have been saying that the Creator and the creation are infinite. So how can they then call themselves God or the Creator?
  11. Devotees adopt gurus. If I myself am God, then why have I adopted a guru? How could God make God a guru? Devotees adopt gurus in order to find God. If they themselves are God, then what would you become through a guru?
  12. A soul becomes impure or Patit upon taking birth after birth; it is said ‘Patit atma’ and ‘Pavan atma’. If God is in everyone, then does God also become impure? Oh!, but He is the Ever Pure One, the Highest-on-High. He is called Patit-Pavan, the One who makes the impure ones pure.

The Father Himself says, “I am not omnipresent, it is the vices that are omnipresent; That is why you are in so much sorrow.” The Father comes to liberate the children from the vices and take them back home. To call such a Father who is the Highest on High, the most Beloved, omnipresent is to disrespect
Him.
