Is GOD subject or object
 
In this universe, GOD is a subject or object?

Did ancient priests created object to realize and get in touch with subject?

Please clarify.

God or the Divine is beyond all pairs of opposites. And it is by going beyond the opposites, which are actually complementary in nature, that we can find God or the truth.

Frankly, I don't understand the question. What do you mean by subject or object?

Namastey 123music,

The question which you have asked is little confusing But I will try to clear out.
God is both subject also & even Object. Lord is worshiped in the form of statue religion wise.

Obviously Temples are just a source to remember God. It is the fact God is omnipresent but as per an devotee God resides in temples.

So God's idol is idol and Worshiping the idol with spiritual feeling is subject.

Thanks for your reply. I am sorry for the confusion.

Here is my perception w.r.t subject and object:
Subject - Anything that can be believed, felt and experienced. But cannot be seen physically.
Object - Anything which is physically visible.

So my question was basically to find out the reality w.r.t GOD. Is GOD subject or object? Did our ancient priests realized the subject and provided it to us in the form of objects (idols) and stories (mythological scripts)?

Please clarify.

Thanks.

In that case it's always subject.

God is everything.
Also the words 'subject' and 'object'. And also their meanings.

God that is limited to an object is not the complete God.

Shivani Devi 11-01-2016 12:50 AM

'God' is always 'subject' to the 'subjective' and 'object' to the 'objective'.

The experience of Samadhi is subjective, but it is an objective experience when experienced subjectively.

Aum Namah Shivaya
