What is God?

God is the state of an eternal Bliss, Ocean of the Joy that every man can attain. In
fact, attaining this bliss is the goal of human life. Once you immerse in this joy there
will be no sufferings left in the life.
How to attain this thing called God?

Just 1 simple step :) Here and now.

Destroy the desires, that will destroy the mind (source of thought), that will
destroy the Ego (source of doubts). Here you are on the shore of the eternal
joy....now enjoy.
Everything else is just a description of the God that no one really comprehends, nor
does one need to comprehend because God cannot be comprehended. God
can only be realized. Bliss can only be experienced. Someone describing Bliss
to me does not help me experience it...I must experience it myself. God or Guru
cannot help me do that. I must walk every step of this journey....of destroying the
desires that I accumulated from thousands of births and deaths in the past. Until
then suffering from my Karmas is my only option.
-------------------------------Here is a short description of the God for an inquisitive mind (by Swami
Sivananda)

God is All in All

There is one God. He is above all, in all, through all. He is all in all. In God all are united. God is
the essential power and reality in all things. God is one, God is the all-pervading spirit and life of
the universe.
God is the inner soul of all alike. In every form behold the blessed Lord himself. That is my
yoga. Cows are of diverse colours but all milk is alike. The kinds of flowers vary, yet all worship
is one. There is but one God - the creator, the governor of the world, almighty, eternal,
incomprehensible. God is almighty - he governs every action in the universe. Not even an
electron can move without his will.
God is always just. God is truth. God is love. God is absolute good, know that everything is
vanity except God. God can be attained by truthful behaviour, by leading a highly moral life and
by the acquisition of knowledge. God's way is mercy. Gods name is love. God's first
manifestation was sound.
In the eternity of God is real life. In truth God is eternal light. In the goodness of God is eternal
bliss, peace and joy. God is near at hand to help you in your difficulties.
Difficult it is to get a human birth. Difficult it is to get a guru (spiritual preceptor). Difficult it is to
attain God-realisation. But, through the grace of God, you can overcome all difficulties.
You have the urge of hunger and there is food to appease that hunger. You have the urge of
thirst and there is water to quench that thirst. There is the urge to be always happy and there
must be something to satisfy that urge. This 'something' is God.
Appeal. Knock. You will be heard. The door shall be opened unto you. Do not seek him far and
wide - He is in your own heart - He has his dwelling there.

God is the great deliverer. Surely, He is near at hand to help you in your difficulties. God is the
bread of life eternal. This bread is more than anything else. It is more abundant life.
God is the embodiment of happiness. Realise God and you will enjoy eternal happiness.
