God is subtle, beyond the Saguna and the Nirguna, and it is because He is very subtle, he is simple. That is, He is easily accessible to anybody who comes to Him. It is the WILL to realize HIM that has to be strong and this Will should not try to impose conditions as to how God should be experienced by you. Religions always impose conditions under which God should appear to man whatever might have been their original intention. Now in Sri Ramchandra's Rajayoga, we are trying to understand the nature of that Reality by personal experience which is possible and available to everybody.
Master discusses the problem of 'atheist'. An atheist is one who denies the existence of God. An atheist is one who denies the necessity of postulating the existence of God for explaining the world. There is the scientific atheist. He says that God need not be included as a cause for the production of effects in this world. And, there is no need to assume a first cause. This scientific atheism is therefore something that depends upon Nature to provide the Laws by which this world is functioning. The scientific atheism is therefore something that depends upon Nature to provide the Laws by which this world is functioning. The scientific atheist is one who wants to understand the laws that govern nature and, if anybody says God must also be included, he says, we do not find any necessity to have a God in this world picture. Order in this Universe is not necessarily related to a person or God. Order can be in the very nature of things. So, we do not want a God to create this world. You may ask when and how all this came. There must be something before. You cannot say that there was nothing, at the stage from which something has come. Obviously, something cannot be produced out of nothing. Therefore, the doctrine which says that there was nothing at the beginning is self-contradictory.
Master uses in his work a verbal point. There is no God means God is nothing, and if you look out for God you do not find him anywhere. Therefore He is nothing. He is a zero or soonya, or to use our own language 'sunna', and how do you represent it - in a circle or a dot. A point is a contracted circle. A circle is an expanded point. Now you can shrink God
