can you define God?

Can

You

Define 

God?

If you want to know God , Know from Him.

None of us are either eligible or capable of defining God.

What can we define about God who is unlimited and beyond our material sense perception.

And

How can we define God with following four human defects.

1.Our senses are imperfect

2.we are illusioned

3.We have a cheating tendency

4.And we are prone to commit mistakes

Therefore It is said in the ancient vedic texts that,

" Näyam ätmä pravacanena labhyo na medhayä"

If one is very good speaker, it does not mean that he can speak about God and describe Him.

If one is very meritorious, great scientist, philosopher, also does not mean that he can understand Bhagavän

If one is very highly educated, highly learned in Vedic knowledge, still he also cannot understand God.

Srila Prabhupada, the founder acharya of ISKCON once said:

"If we are actually serious to understand Bhagavän, then we have to take the instruction given by Bhagavän Himself. We cannot manufacture ideas to know Bhagavän. That is not possible. You cannot speculate on Bhagavän.".

God is not any material concept ,commodity, element  or phenomenon that can be explained and described by us with all 4 human defects.

Therefore please don't take anyones advice or suggestion or description or anything on God Or  about God.

The only process to know God is ,to know Him from Himself, as He has described in the various vedic literatures and especially in the Holy texts of Bhagavad Gita.

As far as the definition of God is concerned it is explained in the vishnu purana:

aiçvaryasya samagrasya

véryasya yaçasaù çriyaù

jïäna-vairägyayoç caiva

ñaëëäà bhaga itéìganä

Bhagavan or God means one who posses following 6 opulence unlimitedly.

1.all opulences or riches

2.all power

3.all fame

4.all beauty

5.all knowledge

6.all renunciation.

This  is the definition of God according vishnu purana.One who is unlimitedly possessing all the above listed opulences,he is God.

All the vedic literatures are known as apauresha, which means ,they are not given or written by any ordinary human beings with 4 defects.

They are given by the God Himself.
