Agni: God The Unmanifest Is Eternal....
Agni: God the Unmanifest is Eternal. Is God's manifestation also eternal?

Aida: Does God Have To Deal With...
Aida: Does God have to deal with our bad and good actions?
Sri Chinmoy: Who else will or can deal with our good and bad actions if not God? But if we invoke God to deal with our good actions, then He transforms them into better actions. If we invoke God to deal with our bad actions, then He transforms them into good actions. But if we don't want Him to deal with our actions, He does not mind. He just watches us amusedly and indefinitely. As you know, God has good manners. He does not want to be an intruder.

This Soundless Sound is precisely what God has and what He is. You don't and can't understand this Sound. Today you hear this Sound and tomorrow you see that you simply can't escape growing into its omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent Reality.
