In most Hinduism, it is 'maya', an illusion. Like people getting born, growing up, getting married, begetting children and dying in a film. Brahman does nothing other than what is nature is.You are very close to me except that you term it as 'God'. A word ('Bhagawan' in Hindi) that I have rejected.
I really do not know much about Hinduism. I looked up maya and it says it's the magical power that, like you said, makes people get born etc. There is no magical power. It isn't just nature either.
When one is born into this world, one starts to get acclimated to the surroundings. Everything is labeled for language and communication sake. I use the term God not as a defining word but as a common reference so people might have a clue of what I speak.
Spiritual communication is about what is, rather than labels. God or the Supreme Being or whatever title you wish has no name because names are never needed. Everyone already knows who everyone is. My earthly name was never used because it is not me. It's a title.
Find a dark quiet place away from all worldly distractions. Focus inward. That is who you are. That is what it's about. The connections are there. It comes out to what is, rather than language then figuring out the language. On the other hand, in the presence of High Intelligence working on multiple levels with multiple views, one must stretch the thinking. It might take a week after the experience to figure out all that was said. Who knows what was missed simply because I do not have the same capabilities.
I have found no religion that really understands God. On the other hand, each have parts of the puzzle. God has never ever been about ruling, controlling, worship,believing, sin or all the petty things mankind holds so dear. People make God in the image that reflects themselves. God is at a much Higher Level. That is where we are all headed regardless of any choices we make. We will learn the way by Living our Lessons.
Mankind carries such a narrow view. There is so very much out there staring us all in the face, yet so many choose to focus on one little thing, blind to all the possibilities and all that exists. I cry that!! I try to work on mine everyday. In doing so, I am often surprised at what I Discover along my journey and in people I encounter.
That's what I see. It's very clear!!
