(no question)
God is alive when two persons fall in love -- then God is throbbing and kicking.
God is alive when you look at a flower and you cannot move from there -- something overpowers you, overwhelms you.
When you look at the stars and you are one with the mystery, and your boat starts sailing towards the other shore, then God is alive.
When you sing a song -- it may be meaningless, it may be just la-la-la -- it may not have any meaning, but God is alive in that sheer expression of joy.
God is alive when you are alive.
If you are not alive, how can your God be alive? Your God is yours. If you are dead, your God is dead; if you are alive, your God is alive.
Your God cannot be more than you, because your God is your innermost core of being.
So if you want to know what God is, become more alive. If you want to know what God is, become more divine. If you want to know what God is, then don't try to know -- try to feel. He comes through the door of the heart.
