When real humility dawns in our heart through the realisation of Infinitude of God, we realise our relationship with that Infinitude and our finite nature falls into insignificance. Our dependence on material things, our egotism, our self importance dwindle into nothingness and we taste true happiness.
My spiritual journey began long long back, when I was still a student, with my love for the sky and the stars ..
Those days we didn’t have calculators and computers, and I used to calculate with my own hands what a Light Year was (365 days multiplied by 24 hours, multiplied by 60 minutes, multiplied by 60 seconds and this big number multiplied by the speed of light) … was a huge figure……and there are stars which are millions of light years afar….And then I saw the bigness of our solar system. And it was so humbling to know that our solar system is just a dot in an insignificant corner of the Milky Way Galaxy and that there are stars much much bigger than our sun. If the whole of the solar system got sucked into a black hole, it won’t make any difference...It is impossible to visualise the bigness of even one galaxy and there are billions of galaxies. Maybe trillions…
This humongous size of the universe itself was so humbling and left me in a daze for months. But I was completely bowled when I learned that the Universe is ever expanding. My question was what is it expanding into? What was there before ? Nobody could give me any answer. I got my answer in my own way some years back and shall talk about it one of these days.
There’s no way our minds can comprehend this infinitude. We are clueless about life and death. We are clueless about where we come from and where we go. Why we come and why we go.
Surrender …bow down in humility … if you would know this Immensity, this Infinitude….
Thank you so much 😊
sooo true..! nice article..! each of us seem to have our own journeys to get to this point of realization..!

In humility, we acknowledge our finite knowledge of the infinite. I am always in awe of how big the universe is and yet I am grateful that somewhere in this huge space, I stand to give glory to the One who create it.
Am so glad Florence. He knows whom He lets know 🙏
This post opened my eyes to see how little I’ve made my God. He’s more awesome than I can ever imagine.
Yes Dawn. Me too – in awe !! Thank you so much 🤗
God is amazing! The universe is proof. And it’s on a glimpse of His majesty. I’m in awe! Great post ☀️ 🌙
Absolutely 👏 Thank you 🙏
Our creator is definitely an awesome God. His creation is infinite as I sit here as one person of billions in this planet, as one planet in our solar system, as one tiny speck in the galaxy, and nearly invisible in the immense universe.
Universe stretching itself is interesting😇
Thank you so much.
The best description I have heard regarding what it means by the universe is expanding is: Think of it as though the galaxies are moving further apart from each other. At least I could conceptualise that. The universe is everything so it’s not expanding into anything. Rather it is being stretched. I agree it’s almost infinitely humbling trying to process how big the universe is and how little we are in it.
😊🤗
We will wait for that post🙂
👍
Thank you so much for your kind words Subbashini. One of these days I shall write about what I think of the universe and the reality.
Accept this post, I too wandering where this universe is expanding, is there any place beyond it to expand. There’s many questions. So glad to meet you here and read your wise posts
Thank you Anuneel
I also experienced exisitence of some positive energy …..I think that it’s all depends on our believe.
👏
Wonderful post. 🙏🙏😊
Welcome Ashok and I totally agree with you.
Oh yes, we may experience God and His Infinitude but it never be explained. Have a joyous Sunday 😊
The incomprehensible, we can only feel. We cannot know or see, but can’t deny the existence. 😊
Oh Thou King of the Infinite.. 😊🙏
Great post Uncle… overwhelmed with the infinitude of God…realized the insignificance of apparently big things of this show…surrender… humility… ur blog successfully gave the understanding of the topic…👍👍
Thank you Kamal. Love is all there is
Thank you so much Simon
Very True… Loved it at the end
“There’s no way our minds can comprehend this infinitude. We are clueless about life and death. We are clueless about where we come from and where we go. Why we come and why we go.” Agree!
True words of infinitude of God and u have written it so well, Ashok. The whole universe is expanding every moment and we r all in that infinitude. Lovely
Beautiful words. Each line is so well written Ashokji👌. I was the one who always believed in science and nothing else made sense to me. I just feel happy that i am now able to understand and relate to what you are saying in this post. We definitely are clueless about lot of things. Keep shining your light of wisdom on us.
Brought tears to my eyes🙏🙏🙏Let us all bow down to the universe
Brought tears to my eyes🙏🙏🙏Let us all now down to the universe
Yes. Thank you Satish. You may like to read my blog : There is no God
“There is no God”… But there exists some super natural power that manages the whole show. Call it God, call it nature , or call it by any other name . People call it by the name of God / Lord / Almighty / Allah or what ever satisfies their inner conscious.
Thank you so much Surjitji. Am so glad to know about your similar experience
God be with you too 🙏
I have no words to describe the magnanimity of the Creator. I can only feel. Your first experience of spirituality was mine too, and it still fascinates me to no end. Lovely post, thanks. God bless you.
