Scripture: The Bhagavad Gita 8:9

The Lord is the supreme poet, the first cause, the sovereign ruler, subtler than the tiniest particle, the support of all, inconceivable, bright as the sun, beyond darkness.

God is "subtler than the tiniest particle because He is not physical at all.  He is pure spirit, so He occupies no space while at the same time being everywhere.

Note: In most cases, when I quote from the Bhagavad Gita, I am using the Eknath Easwaran translation.

    I will add "brighter than the sun..by far. Inside each of us is a "soul"..that is brighter than the sun..but.it is asleep.
    By learning how to look at the sun..at high noon..for as long as desired..you will awaken your Sol..er..soul.

    It is a natural and supernatural "law".

    Thanks for asking..

      True, but you have to know what you're doing.  Looking at the spiritual sun will strengthen your soul, but looking at the physical sun only strengthens the ego.

        looking single mindedly (eating swallowing, digesting) at Jesus Christ as the "main course", guarentees Eternal Life.
        Seeing Him in the sun and listening and obeying Oncer one has true "conscience" His Holy Spirit will eventually make you inner "eye" single and that is the most difficult task I can imagine...because inside we are many.
        Our task is to achieve Unity..that is the only waywe can satisfy God..as far as I know.

        He says "If your "eye" is single your whole body will be filled with light".

          Indeed, unity with God is the goal of spiritual development and achieving it takes time and work.

      I know of Gurdjieff and Ouspensky but I have not studied their teachings except in a very general way.  Bishop Gene Savoy Sr., who founded the International Community of Christ, was a studend of Gurdjieff and other spiritual teachers.
