WHAT IS MEANT BY GOD'S MANIFESTATION?REQUEST TO SEE THE LORD (VERSE NO. 143)

CAN WE EVER SEE GOD?

      Unfortunately the answer is; `NO'. No one can ever see God with a physical eye or a material sense of seeing. Observing an object involves having a material body in order to reflect rays of light to the eye, and there must be some physical medium between the seen and seeing. We know that God is far from all such material and physical phenomena, and therefore he can never be seen physically.

      Someone asked Hazrat Imam Ali (AS):

      ``Have you ever seen your Lord God!'' In answer to him Hazrat Ali said:

      ``I never worship a God that I may not see Him! Of course I see Him not with my material eyes and sense of sight; but I see him through the facts of FAITH''

      On this basis, men of God, do see their Lord, but not with their senses or eyes.
