What it is: The tradition teaches that God is the Supreme Being, distinct from human souls and free from the cycle of birth and death.
How the tradition understands it: This Supreme Being is frequently described as a point of conscious, eternal, and incorporeal light, called Shiva or Shiva Baba. He does not incarnate repeatedly like common souls.
Textual basis and context: The belief is spread by institutional materials, Raja Yoga courses, and Murlis studied in the centers of the movement.
Objections and debates: There is debate about the use of personal and at the same time incorporeal language for God, and about the relation of this formulation with other Indian currents that speak of the divine differently.
