Living being is nothing but God himself who is acting the role of egoism.
When 'I am' and 'God is' become in your mind indistinguishable, then something will happen and you will know without a trace of doubt that God is because you are, you are because God is. The two are one.
Man having forgotten his true nature of being the all perfect Ether of Consciousness, is deluded by Ignorance into identifying himself with a body, etc., and regarding himself as an insignificant individual of mean capacity. If to him it is told that he is the creator of the whole universe, he will flout the idea and refuse to be guided. So coming down to his level the scriptures posit an God as the creator of the universe. But it is not the truth. However the scriptures reveal the truth to the competent seeker. You are now mistaking the nursery tale for metaphysical truth.

Nisargadatta Quote 3
"We discover it by being earnest, by searching, inquiring, questioning daily and hourly, by giving one's life to this discovery."
We are all that is! Its just we keep identifying ourselves with the body.
Is there god ? A nice way to put is "You are god". A direct way to tell is "No". Its very difficult to explain this. You keep inquiring and you will find it out eventually.
After reading and deeply understanding the texts (especially the Upanishads), individuals will fall into the trap of, looking through the prism of Atheists. Most of them stay in the Theists trap irrespective of reading the Upanishads.
Ultimately everything is a concept. It has to be given up, including the sacred texts. Its like a de-programming technique. Once the de-programming is a success, it has to be stopped.
