What Does It Mean To "merge With God"?

[Guest Seeking]

Does it mean we become God? or is this metaphorical language like the union of a husband and wife becoming "One flesh"?

Dear Papi, thanks for your response. Just to clarify, I was not meaning to imply God was flesh. I was using an earthly analogy, of a husband and wife becoming one, and asking if this is what it means to merge with God. To connect with God in intimate relationship on the highest spiritual plane forever? Is this what Nirvana is?

merging with God should be our goal in life.

we parted from God, and now we must go back to our Father.

our soul needs to merge with Gods teachings, therefore merging with God.

hope that answers your Q jio

Literally, merging with God means exactly that.

You will become on the same "frequency" as God, you will understand God, and your jeevan, you soul will physicially merge, or become indistinguishable from Gods'.

My understanding of the merging stage is like a tiny spirit merging into bigger powerful soul where you are literally free because in essence you are now part of the supreme conscience being, the almighty creator. You have finally arrived home and achieved eternal bliss/peace. No false devious promises of rivers of wine, 72 virgins for sexual orgies, false images of God sitting on a throne chillaxing with his prophets, etc.

thinks of it as a drop of water merging with the sea :D
