God I know can only be described in terms of my own personal experience of what He represents given my surrender to Him in acknowledgement. Because I pursue sata-advaita, namely the seeking of truth through truth accommodation, whatever I am and have done in my life is a description of that God's character and intentions for mankind.Is your concept or perception of God, the Absolute, Brahman, or whatever term you use to reference the ultimate divinity, effable in your religious or spiritual views?

Ok here is a fableI'd settle for affable.
I have a wooden Ganesh.Ok here is a fable
The Man and the Wooden God - An Aesop's Fable. In the old days men used to worship stocks and stones and idols, and prayed to them to give them luck. It happened that a Man had often prayed to a wooden idol he had received from his father, but his luck never seemed to change.
I have a wooden Ganesh.
But I don't pray to him (her?).
We just enjoy each other's company.
My Lakshmi statue is brass.I have an iron Ganesh who is, as you say, great company.
