Q1. What does the Spiritual Science say about the Nature of God?
A1.
1. There is a Force (call it a Force or Energy, or Spirit, or whatever) that fuels the universe
2. This force is indescribable (formless - with no attributes), infinite and everlasting
3. This force - that created the big bang (let us call it the creator) and what came out of it (the creation) are the same - that the laws of gravity, electromagnetism, the weak force, the strong force.....and the light spectrum, the galaxies, the nature and the Universe - are nothing but manifestations (or transformations) of the same original force (or energy)
4. According to Upanishads, they should be revered, in all its forms (the word they use is "sacred")
5. Because, for the humans, it is difficult to conceive the formless - something one cannot comprehend with one's sense organs, and even for the mind it is abstract - it had to be given a name - they happened to call it "Brahman" (or, any other name would equally suffice) - which many equate with the term "God" (or, Godhead).
Hence, Science and Sanatan Dharma (or, Vedic Religion - Vedas, Upanishads, Gita, etc.) complement and reinforce each other very well, with no contradiction.
