Knowledge for the Tamasika to understand and realize the Supreme.
At this level, let us analyze what is the true form of the Divine Supreme Force that the Thamasika devotee tries to understand to pray, but does not understand the total form. The Eternal One is so infinitely real that we dare not even give It the name of "One" since oneness is an idea derived from worldly existence and we look for something outside this One. So, we cannot say God in One. We can only speak of It as the non-dual, Advaita, which is known when all dualities are resolved in the Supreme Identity. All of our Shastras, Rishis and Saints affirm the reality of a Supreme Brahman; One without a second, without attributes or determinations, who is identical with the deepest self of man. Brahman is the pure subject whose existence cannot be projected into the external or objective world. Indeed, strictly speaking, we cannot give any description of Brahman.

The Supreme is explained as "unmanifest, unthinkable and unchanging". Contradictory predicates are attributed to the Supreme to indicate the inapplicability of empirical determinations. "It does not move and yet it moves. It is far away and yet it is near" (Isha Upanishad, -5). These predicates bring out the two-fold nature of the Supreme as being and as becoming. To drive home even a vague notion of Ultimate Reality, the Upanishads look at the issue negatively. They say, for example, that the Real is not this, not this (na iti, na iti), "neither existent nor non-existent" (Rg. Veda, X, 129). He is "invisible, unborn, eternal, permanent, devoid of parts or quality"; "He cannot be felt by our five senses, and is also action-less" (Shaantiparva). It is the "cloud of unknowing" or what is called "super-luminous darkness". "He is the God who is in fire and in water who pervades the entire universe; He who is inside every living being, to Him we make our obeisance again and again" says the Vedas.

Hindu Dharma explains the true nature of this Divine Supreme force, referred by all religious faiths as "God" in English language, though the two terms do not necessarily identify the same entity. For our simple understanding we shall use the same term GOD, representing the three essential functions of the Divine natural forces of Generator or creator, Operator or preserver and Dissolver or Destroyer. God is the Supreme Power that creates and controls the Universe. God exists as the basic material of all matters of the universe and the core of the essential energy that moves all these matters in an order. The great Rishis or our Sages of ancient times received this Divine Vision through their intuitive powers of intense meditation. Every one of us is capable of obtaining this state with Jnaana path received through meditation, but we do not try this properly. The Rishis passed on this message as our Vedas through recitation and memory through their disciples and were written much later.

It is said in these texts, that the Divine incarnates in each era to protect the devotees, to destroy the evils and to uphold the righteousness. This Divine exists at all times all over the universe created by Him/It and also exists inside each one of us. He remains manifest as the inherent force and energy that sustains the Universe and all the planets and all the plants and animals and the humans. He exists as the very base of the life energy like the very breath of life, the force like the light, gravity, and electromagnetic energy. God is an infinite conscious thing that can be felt inside the soul by pure mind through meditation and prayers with faith. Hence God cannot be defined in words and cannot be seen with fleshy eyes. The Vedas show us the way to visualize (feel) God through meditation. According to the Vedas the Divine is explained as: "He, who creates, sustains and destroys the Universe, One who gives justification to our "Karmas" and One who provides "intelligence" in the knowledge is known as "GOD".
