Embracing the Divine Within: Understanding God's Immanence: A short note and a poem

Short Note

God is immanent, and our inner selves can perceive His divine presence. This idea emphasizes God's active and ongoing involvement in creation. It stands in contrast to transcendence, which implies that God exists beyond and apart from the universe. God's presence ensures that He is accessible and engaged with the world, rather than being distant or unknowable.

Therefore, God is not a remote creator; He is actively involved in the world and in the lives of His followers. In essence, the divine is not detached from the universe but is instead present within it, infusing all of creation. He can be inwardly perceived or sensed through a form of consciousness, light, or inner awakening.

God’s immanence means that God is present within creation, intimately involved and accessible through our inner selves and the world around us.

This contrasts with divine transcendence, which describes God as existing beyond or apart from the universe, often perceived as distant or beyond human comprehension.

The idea of immanence highlights a God who is actively engaged with creation, making the divine presence something we can experience personally and continually.

Poem

God's not so far, beyond the starry sphere,

But close as breath, within the beating heart.

No distant king, on heavenly throne to hide,

But love that fills this ever-present place.

In every sunrise, in each drop of rain,

His presence whispers, gentle and profound.

Not separate, untouched by joy and pain,

But in the fabric of the world is bound.

A light within, a knowing deep inside,

Awakens us to feel His constant grace.

He's here, He's now, a truth we can embrace,

Immanent God, in every time and space.
