Holy Scriptures are the constitution of Spirituality. They tell us the qualities of the Supreme God and also indicate the correct way of worship to attain Him. Though there are a number of qualities of the Supreme God described in the Holy Vedas that distinguishes the Gods in Hinduism, we in this article will consider only four qualities of Supreme God from the Vedas, and two from Shrimad Bhagavad Gita.
Supreme God never takes birth from a mother
Rigveda Mandal 10 Sukt 4 Mantra 3
“Shishum n Twa jenyam vardhayanti mata vibharti sachansyamaanaa|
dhanoH adhi pravata yaasi haryan jigishase pashuriv avsrishtH" ||3||
Translation: Oh Supreme God when you (shishum) acquire the form of a child i.e. appear in the form of a child then (Twa) You (mata) mother (jenyam) by giving birth (vibharti) by nurturing (n vardhayanti) does not raise i.e. Supreme God doesn't take birth from a mother's womb (sachansyamaanaa) in reality, You do Your creation (dhanoH adhi) by word power, and (haryan) to end the sufferings of devotees (pravata) by coming like a human in the lower Lokas (yaasi) You get. (pashuriv) Living beings tied like an animal in the bondage of Karma, from Kaal (jigishase) by coming with the aim of winning (av srishtH) by the method of secure creation i.e. by the Scripture-based way of worship, completely liberated.
Translation: Oh Supreme God, when You acquire the form of a Child i.e. appear in the form of a child, then a Mother, by giving birth to You and by nurturing You, doesn’t raise You i.e. Supreme God doesn’t take birth from the womb of a Mother. In reality, You do Your creation by Word Power, and to end the sufferings of the devotees, You attain the lower Lokas by coming in the form of a Human. Coming with the aim of winning the living beings, tied like an animal in the bondage of Karmas, from Kaal, You liberate them completely by the method of secure creation i.e. the Scripture-based way of Worship.
This same evidence is in Rigveda Mandal 9 Sukt 93 Mantra 2. This is contrary to the belief of common people that God in Hinduism takes birth from a mother.
Supreme God, whenever descends to the Earth in an infant child’s form, is nurtured by the milk of maiden cows
Rigveda Mandal 9 Sukt 1 Mantra 9
“Abhi imM adhnya ut shreenanti dhenavH shishum′|
Sommindray paatve" ||9||
Translation: (Ut) Especially (imm) this (shishum ) appeared in child form (somm) of the Supreme Eternal God (indraay) through comforts i.e. development of body through nourishment (paatve) for the development (abhi) completely (adhnya dhenavH) a cow who has never been troubled by a bull i.e. by a maiden cow (shreenanti) is fostered/nurtured.
Translation: This Supreme Eternal God, who has especially appeared in child form, is nurtured by a completely maiden cow (who has never been troubled by a bull) for His development through comforts i.e. development of body through nourishment.
Supreme God, when descends to the Earth, doesn’t bear any woman
Rigveda Mandal 10 Sukt 4 Mantra 4
“Mura amur n vayam chikitvo mahitvamgne tvamag vitse|
vashye vricharati jihnayaadtrorihyate yuvatim vishpatiH san" ||4||
Translation: Of the Glory of the Supreme God (mura) root i.e. origin and (amur) end (vayam) we (n chikatvH) do not know i.e. the Lila of that God is endless. (Agne) Oh Supreme God (mahitvam) His Glory (Twam ang) Himself partly (vitse) tells. (vashaye) By His Power, by Himself coming in form, His Glory (charati) by strolling around (jihnayaat) by His Words (vriH) describes properly. (virpatiH san) Even after being the Pati ( Husband / Master ) of the whole creation (yuvatim) woman (n) doesn’t (rerihyate) bear.
Translation:- We do not know the root, i.e., origin and the end of the Glory of the Supreme God, i.e., the Lila (divine act) of that God is endless. Oh God! Himself imparts the knowledge about His Glory partially. By His Power, He properly describes His Glory Himself by coming in His Body and strolling. Even after being the Pati (Husband / Master) of the whole creation, He doesn’t bear any woman.
Supreme God spreads His Tatvgyan through poems and proverbs because of which He even gets the title of a poet
Rigveda Mandal 9 Sukt 96 Mantra 18
“Rishimna ya rishikrit swarshaH sahastraneethH padviH kavinam|
Trteeyam dhaam mahishH sisha sant somH viraajmaanu rajti stup" ||18||
Translation: The narrator of Ved, Brahm, is saying that (ya) the Supreme God, who coming in the form of an extraordinary child (kavinam) of famous poets (padviH) attaining the title i.e. plays the role of a saint or rishi, that (rishikrt) composed by the God appeared in the form of a Saint (sahastraneethH) thousands of speeches (rishimna) for the individuals of saintly nature i.e. the devotees (swarshaH) is the provider of happiness equal to that of heaven (somH) that Eternal Purush/God i.e. Satpurush (trteeya) third (dhaam) of the Mukti lok / lok of salvation i.e. Satyalok (mahishH) very firm Earth (sisha) establishing (anu) after (sant) being in a human-like visible saint form in a dome on a high hillock-like throne (viraajmaanu rajti) in a bright material form i.e is seated in an effulgent human-like visible body.
Translation: The narrator of Ved, Brahm, is saying that the Supreme God who coming in the form of an extraordinary child, attaining the title of famous poets i.e. plays the role of a saint or a Rishi (sage), the thousands of speeches composed by that God, who has appeared as a saint, are provider of happiness equal to that of heaven to the individuals of saintly nature i.e. the devotees. That Eternal Purush/God i.e. SatPurush after establishing the very firm Earth of the third lok of salvation i.e. Satyalok, Himself being in a human-like visible saint form in a bright material form i.e. in human-like effulgent body is seated in a dome on a high hillock-like throne.
Qualities of Supreme God in Shrimad Bhagavad Gita
The concise form of the Holy Vedas, Gita tells these qualities of the Supreme God of Hinduism:
Supreme God is indestructible
Gita Adhyay 15 Shloka 17
“UttamH, purushH, tu, anyaH, Parmatma, iti, udaahrtH,
YaH, loktryam, aavishya, bibharti, avyyaH, iishwarH ||17||
Translation: (UttamH) Supreme (PurushH) God (tu) however, than the foresaid Gods, Kshar Purush and Akshar Purush (anyaH) is someone else (yaH) who (loktryam) in the three loks (aavishya) entering (bibharti) maintains/sustains everyone and (avyyaH) eternal (iishwarH) Parmeshwar (Parmatma) Parmatma (iti) as (udaahrtH) is called. (17)
Translation: The Supreme God is, however, someone else other than the two aforesaid Gods, Kshar Purush and Akshar Purush, who by entering the three loks, sustains everyone and is called the Eternal Parmeshwar Parmatma (Immortal Supreme God).”
Gita Adhyay 2 Shloka 17
“Avinaashi, tu, tat,viddhi, yen, sarvam, idam,tatam,
Vinaasham, avyyasya, asya, na, kashchit, kartum, arhati ||17||
Translation: (Avinaashi) indestructible/immortal (tu) indeed, you (tat) him (viddhi) know (yen) from whom (idam) this (sarvam) whole visible world (tatam) has pervaded (asya) this (avyyasya) Immortal (vinaasham) destruction (kartum) in doing (kashchit) no one (na arhati) is not capable of. (17)
Translation: You should know Him to be indestructible/immortal from whom this whole visible world has pervaded. No one is capable of destroying this Immortal.”
Supreme God is other than the speaker of Gita
Gita Adhyay 18 Shloka 62
“Tam, ev, sharnm, gachchh, sarvbhaaven, bharat,
Tatprsaadaat, paraam, shaantim, sthaanm, praapsyasi, shaashvatam ||62||
Translation: (Bharat) Oh Bharat! You (sarvbhaaven) in every respect (tam) that Supreme God (ev) only (sharnm) in the refuge (gachchh) go (tatprsaadaat) by grace of that Supreme God only, you (paraam) supreme (shaantim) peace and (shaashvatam) the everlasting, Sat (sthaanm) place/dhaam/lok (praapsyasi) will attain. (62)
Translation: Oh Bharat! You, in every respect, go in the refuge of only that Supreme God. By the grace of that Supreme God only, you will attain the supreme peace and the everlasting place (dhaam/lok) i.e. Satlok.”
This same evidence is also given in Adhyay 18 Shloka 66.
So, the Holy Vedas and the Holy Gita says that the Supreme God neither takes birth from a mother nor does He have any wife. He spreads His knowledge through poems and proverbs and is nurtured by the milk of maiden cows. Also, that He is indestructible and is other than the speaker of Holy Gita.
Holy Rigveda
Holy Rigveda is a collection of 1,028 hymns (sūktas) in about 10,600 verses organized into ten books (mandalas).
The magnificence of God Kabir Dev has been described in detail in Holy Rigveda. Where does the Supreme God lives according to Rigveda, creation of nature and how God increases the lifespan of his devotee has been explained in detail in this section.
Where does the Supreme and Almighty God live - Rigveda
The Supreme God lives in Eternal Place called Satlok.
Rigveda, Mandal 9, Sukt 96, Mantra 18
Rishimna ya rishikrit' swarshaH sahastraneethH padviH kavinam' |
Trteeyam' dhaam mahishH sisha sant' somH viraajmanu rajti stup' |
Translation: The narrator of Holy Vedas, Brahm is saying that the Purna Parmatma (Complete God) who comes in the form of an extraordinary child, attaining the title of famous poets i.e. plays the role of a saint or a Rishi (sage), the thousands of speeches composed by that God who has appeared as a saint, are provider of happiness equal to that of heaven to the individuals of saintly nature i.e. bhakts. That Eternal Purush i.e. SatPurush after establishing the very firm Earth of the third Mukti lok i.e. Satyalok, Himself being in a human-like bright material form i.e. in human-like effulgent body is seated in the dome on the high hillock-like throne.
Holy Yajurveda
The Meaning of Yajur Veda is “Knowledge of Worship”.
The Holy Yajurveda samhita includes about 1,875 verses. Yajur Veda contains the knowledge about how God Kabir Dev looks and whether he forgives the sins of his devotees or not?
What is the Form of Supreme God- Yajurved?
God is in form and has a human like body.
Yajurved Adhyay 5, Mantra 1
“Agne TanuH Asi | Vishnve Tva Somasya Tanur' Asi || ”
It has been stated twice in this Mantra that Parmeshwar has a body. Eternal Purush has a body for nurturing everyone i.e. when God comes as a guest in this world for some time to explain Tattavgyan to His devotees.
He comes by wearing a body of lighter masses of lights over His actual effulgent body that is why the evidence has been given twice in the aforesaid Mantra. A similar description of God is also given in Yajurved Adhyay 1, Mantra 15 where it says that God has a body and is in form.
God can forgive your sins – Yajurved
Yajurved Adhyay 8 Mantra 13
It is very clearly mentioned that God can forgive sins. It is repeatedly mentioned that God forgives the sins of his worshipper. God forgives the sins done by the father.
God even forgives/destroys the most heinous sins. God can forgive all sins done unknowingly. God can forgive all the sins done in the past or done currently.
Holy Samaveda
Samveda is the Veda of melodies and chants. It consists of 1,549 verses.

Holy Atharvaveda

In this Mantra, it has also been made clear that the name of that God, who has done all the Creation, is KavirDev (God Kabir).
Conclusion: The four holy Vedas is the constitution of God.
In Vedas there is full information about the supreme God, but what is the right way of worship to achieve the Supreme God, or how can we attain complete salvation has not been mentioned in holy Vedas.
If you want to know how one can attain complete salvation, and how can one achieve God, then one will have to find the refugee of a complete saint who at this point in time is Jagat Guru Rampal Ji Maharaj.
