That's like asking  "why is chair"
It doesn't make grammatical sense

If you ask somebody "why is shoe?"  
it does not make sense unless you ask something like "Why do shoes exist?"

@Nak Khid the question is intended to be nonspecific because i cannot pin point exactly what i am asking about

If you don't know why, you don't understand God.

The solution to that is Awakening.

Why is not a fruitless question. You can become directly conscious of the answer. Since you are God.

The answer would be love?

I´m actually trying to make of sense of a trip I had 4-5months ago were the "love" component was involved. I basically saw how reality broke down in front of my eyes and I "resucitated" reality only just because of Love (no other reason). Maybe this is a re-contexualization I am doing after reading all the love you guys talk about. Idk, what do you think? @Leo Gura

Go back and find out what's true. Not from me, from you.

God does not give birth.

Meister Eckhart disagrees

"Here, in time, we are celebrating the eternal birth which God the Father bore and bears unceasingly in eternity, because this same birth is now born in time, in human nature. St. Augustine says, 'What does it avail me that this birth is always happening, if it does not happen in me? That it should happen in me is what matters.' We shall therefore speak of this birth, of how it may take place in us and be consummated in the virtuous soul, whenever God the Father speaks His eternal Word in the perfect soul."

@Sockrattes

Sure. He's referring to the process of infinite regression. In that context, we could say that God gives birth to itself, because God is all of its forms. The eternal change of forms is God. There's no contradiction.

Or he is talking about God deliberately making reflections of him/his consciousness.

I like the idea that Shankaracharya, Ramanujacharya and Madhvacharya were equally right.

God is infinite, me, you, god, tree are identical. We are all one. All process is you l, which is god. You are god as a human form, tree is a god as tree form. Because it is nothing.

[Nak Khid]

Why is ?

In the absolut sense, this might be right. That doesn't change the fact, that there is a "relative truth" to our existence. Let me ask it this way: Why don't we know, that we are that infinite oneness? We feel, that we are separate in some sense and we are ignorant about our oneness until we have a breakthrough. The question is, why?

Classical nondualism would say, that our ignorance is beginning-less and when we attain knowledge we realise, that we have been always free. But why is infinite knowledge "partially ignorant"?
