Yuga Cycles for the Modern World: Profound Philosophy from Sanskrit Teachings

“God” is a loaded word today. It conjures different meanings for different people, depending on their backgrounds and cultures; often, it conjures up a wide variety of positive and negative feelings. As previously discussed, many people today have turned to atheism and science to limit conceptions of God that originated in Kali Yuga. The people of Dwapara Yuga often find it difficult to accept or understand the idea that humanity could live in day-to-day awareness of God the Spirit.

Sri Yukteswar wryly observes that God is not “a venerable personage, adorning a throne in some antiseptic corner of the cosmos!” God is pure consciousness, beyond form and limitation, and our consciousness, our very being, is an inextricable expression of this consciousness. Thus, the more deeply we understand ourselves, the more deeply we understand our consciousness as part of the pure consciousness of God.
