In a large number of
religious traditions, all over the world, God is always referred to as a male
entity. But, just as the soul does not
have a gender and is neither masculine nor feminine, God's i.e. the Supreme
Soul's gender is neither male nor female specifically. Therefore, as a
soul, a spiritual child of God, each living being can come close to God without any inhibitions
or difficulty, which he or she may experience in any relationship in the physical
world, due to the gender of the body they occupy.
Supreme Being or God is both a Supreme Mother and a Supreme father.
The Supreme Being is the Supreme Mother who provides spiritual sustenance and whose love is full of unconditional acceptance. No matter what has happened or how each of our nature or personality is; each living being experiences unconditional acceptance from God. It's the love that strengthens and purifies all.
At the same time, God is also the Supreme Father, a very powerful entity, who provides protection and fills the soul with the inheritance of divine qualities and powers. It's a question of just being an innocent child and claiming that inheritance.
These are the first two relationships that have to be experienced with God.
The Supreme is a balance of being feminine, having the qualities of caring, giving and full of good wishes and masculine at the same time, having the qualities of power, authority and fearlessness. These two relationships with God, whereby God plays both the roles of both parents shall be the basis of spiritual development.
Spirituality introduces to us, the concept of taking a new spiritual birth to the Supreme Father and Mother. This birth is based on a change of consciousness. One needs to let go of the negative, impure and sorrowful past and develop a new consciousness, based on the present introduction to spirituality, which is positive, pure and blissful.
The awareness of the self as a soul, changes my way of looking at the material things immensely, but the consciousness of being a child of God, who is the Mother as well as the Father and seeing others with that vision brings respect and love for the self. Then all these qualities shall start showing in our actions and interactions as well.
