Signs of Attaining God
There are some common signs of attaining God, which may vary according to different religions and spiritual paths. However, some general signs are given below—
When one attains God:—
1.Simply uttering the Lord’s name brings forth tears, a choked voice, and a body overwhelmed with ecstatic emotions.
2.Ego will dissolve. Unbroken peace and bliss will be experienced.
3."You will experience boundless love and compassion. Meditating and reflecting in God's refuge will bring tears to your eyes."
4.The contemplation and reflection on God will be intense; as a result, absent-mindedness will occur. Freedom from worldly attachments (Maya-Moha) will occur.
5.Elevated consciousness and equanimity will develop.
The ability to accept everything—happiness and sorrow, victory and defeat, gain and loss—with a balanced mind will arise.
6.Self-realization and direct experience of God will happen.
A person who attains God does not merely believe but directly experiences the presence of the Divine.
7.Desires and sensual cravings will vanish.
Physical and sensory desires gradually diminish, and the consciousness becomes solely God-centered.
8.A divine light, knowledge, or the presence of God will be felt within.
9.Unconditional devotion and surrender will intensify.
This feeling will become so overwhelming that the person may no longer be able to perform rituals or chant mantras, as tears of divine love will flow from their eyes.
10.Their soul will spontaneously chant God's name (Ajapa Japa), and they will witness God with their own eyes.
Through love, devotion, spiritual practice, and the pursuit of truth, anyone can reach this state. However, it is a very difficult journey, and without God's grace, it is almost impossible. "Please do not imitate the signs of attaining God mentioned above; simply recognize and match them. Imitating these signs may lead one into illusion and trouble.
