The question “Who is God?” has been the most profound inquiry in human history. Every religion, scripture, and spiritual tradition has attempted to answer it, but confusion still remains. Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, a spiritual leader and reformer, has provided clear, scripture-based evidence about the identity of the Supreme God. His teachings, supported by holy scriptures such as the Vedas, Bhagavad Gita, Bible, Quran, Guru Granth Sahib, and others, reveal that God is not formless energy or an abstract concept, but a real, eternal, and compassionate being.
This article presents a comprehensive explanation of “Who is God?” according to Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, with proofs from holy books, aiming to provide clarity to seekers of truth.
The Common Misconceptions About God
Throughout history, people have held different beliefs about God:
- Some believe God is formless energy spread everywhere.
- Others think God takes birth in different forms to restore balance.
- Many worship deities, natural forces, or incarnations as God.
- Some believe God is unknowable and beyond human understanding.
Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj explains that these are partial truths or misunderstandings. The scriptures of all major religions actually point towards one Supreme God who is eternal, visible, and attainable.
God According to the Vedas
The Vedas, the oldest scriptures of Hinduism, describe God as the creator of all universes. Rigveda Mandal 10, Sukta 90, and Yajurveda Chapter 40 mention that God is separate from creation and resides in His eternal abode. He is not born and does not die.
Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj highlights that the Vedas mention the name of the Supreme God as Kavir Dev (Kabir Sahib). For example:
- Rigveda Mandal 9, Sukta 96, Mantra 17 refers to “Kavir Dev” as the Supreme Creator.
- Atharvaveda Kand 4, Sukta 1, Mantra 7 also mentions the same.
This proves that the Supreme God is Kabir Sahib, who is distinct from Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva.
God in the Bhagavad Gita
The Bhagavad Gita, a revered scripture of Hinduism, contains direct statements about God. In Chapter 15, Verse 17, it distinguishes between the perishable beings, the imperishable soul, and the Supreme God who is above both.
In Chapter 18, Verse 62, Lord Krishna advises Arjuna to take refuge in that Supreme God, who will grant liberation. This shows that Krishna himself is not the Supreme God but a servant of the higher power.
Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj explains that the Supreme God mentioned here is Kabir Sahib, who is the eternal father of all souls.
God in the Bible
The Holy Bible also provides evidence of the Supreme God. In Genesis, God is described as the creator of heaven and earth. In Isaiah 45:5, God declares, “I am the Lord, and there is no other.”
In John 1:1-3, it is written that the Word was with God and through Him all things were made. Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj explains that this “Word” refers to Kabir Sahib, who appeared on earth and guided souls.
God in the Quran
The Quran Sharif also confirms the existence of one Supreme God. In Surah Furqan 25:59, it is written that Allah created the heavens and the earth in six days and then established Himself on the throne.
Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj clarifies that this description matches Kabir Sahib, who is seated in His eternal abode, Satlok. The Quran also mentions that Allah is merciful and compassionate, qualities that align with Kabir Sahib’s nature.
God in Guru Granth Sahib
The Sikh scripture, Guru Granth Sahib, repeatedly mentions “Kabir” as the name of God. Guru Nanak Dev Ji himself praised Kabir Sahib as the Supreme Being. For example:
- “Kabir, tu tu karta tu hua, mujh mein raha na hu” – meaning, by remembering Kabir, the devotee becomes one with Him.
- Guru Granth Sahib also states that God is eternal, unborn, and beyond the cycle of birth and death.
This proves that Kabir Sahib is recognized as the Supreme God in Sikhism as well.
The Appearance of God on Earth
Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj explains that God Kabir has appeared on earth in human form to guide souls. In the 15th century, He appeared in Kashi, India, as Saint Kabir. Though born in a weaver’s family, He performed divine acts that proved His supremacy, such as reviving the dead, granting salvation, and imparting true spiritual knowledge.
Despite opposition, Kabir Sahib revealed the path of true worship, which is now being continued by Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj.
The True Abode of God
According to Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, the eternal abode of God is Satlok, a place beyond the cycle of birth and death. All souls originally belong to Satlok but became trapped in the cycle of rebirth due to ignorance. God Kabir descends to liberate souls and take them back to Satlok through true worship.
The Path to Attain God
Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj emphasizes that liberation is possible only through the true worship of the Supreme God. This includes:
- Taking initiation (Naam Diksha) from a true spiritual teacher authorized by God.
- Chanting the true mantras revealed in scriptures.
- Living a moral and disciplined life, free from intoxicants, violence, and false practices.
- Following the rules of devotion as prescribed in holy books.
Proof from Holy Books
Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj provides scriptural evidence from multiple religions to prove that Kabir Sahib is the Supreme God:
- Vedas: Mention “Kavir Dev” as the creator.
- Bhagavad Gita: Directs worship towards the Supreme God beyond Krishna.
- Bible: Refers to the Word (Kabir) as the creator.
- Quran: Describes Allah seated on the throne, matching Kabir Sahib.
- Guru Granth Sahib: Praises Kabir as the eternal God.
Conclusion
The identity of God has been a mystery for ages, but Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj has clarified it with undeniable proofs from holy scriptures. The Supreme God is Kabir Sahib, the eternal creator, who resides in Satlok and descends to earth to guide souls.
Understanding “Who is God?” is the first step towards liberation. By following the true path of worship revealed by Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, souls can attain salvation and return to their eternal home.
