Demystifying God – Part 2
Take the example of cotton, from which thread came and reshaped into cloth with all its patterns. The principle of truth is like cotton. From truth an immediate modification is the God-principle (thread) called Ishwara, and the modification of the God-principle is man (cloth). In Vedanta, the all-pervading Supreme Reality does not actually undergo any change, as milk changes to curd. All plurality is only an appearance like a rope mistaken for a snake. Appearance is time bound. God-principle is beyond time. Be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be.
