Good question. At first it does appear obvious, that the answer is that God is everywhere. However on closer inspection it could be interpreted as, How does the answerer appreciate God on the physical plane, if at all?
My personal enjoyment of God on the physical plane comes in my consideration of Him or Her with regard to the working out of my desires. So although God may take a defined shape, say that of a bird song, or a dog trotting down the street, or even an aesthetically pleasing man made object, or the color of the sky, more often I appreciate God on the physical as the agent of change, as the innumerable cause and effect, as the shifting of a situation, a transmutation, eventually leading to the fulfillment of a desire, whether that is something simple as going out for an ice-cream, or intuitively locating the next book I will read, or finding my next job, or the surprise of meeting a new friend. Sometimes God on the physical remains initially hidden, say in a difficult or negative form, before His or Her beauty is revealed, exceeding my greatest expectations. Some may classify this as the play and display of the three gunas, and that is the correct analytical interpretation, but I wanted to express something a little more personal and subjective, remaining truer to the intent of the question. --- In [email protected], "Llundrub" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Well, thanks for asking. One might wonder if God might exist on the physical in a more or less potential form.Just as say, a pain killer can exist in a more or less potential form of say ibuprofen versus fentanyl. I really did mean the question in terms of Borges' Aleph or Zahir. So in that sense, that is the sense of the avatar, does God exist on the physical plane? And if so, lets count out the obvious and already extolled forms of say an avatar and the obvious Narmadeshwar linga, Gandaki Shalagram, and Eleocarpus ganitrum.

I wonder if we can elicit a brain response from anyone else, that is, rather than a gut response or mere flippancy. > To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
