There comes a time in all our lives when the situations are not in our
hands and not in our control then arises the question of the existence of the one
whom we know as GOD.
Has anyone seen him physically in
front of their own eyes? No. We have only heard about his existence and felt
him. We have seen him in photos and in serials as royally dressed and larger
than life figures having enormous powers to do almost anything. But how he
really is, no one knows; from generations he is imagined like us the humans but
is that the truth?
He has created this world and the
basic elements necessary for survival; we worship him in temple, mosque and
church; we celebrate the festivals remembering him and worshipping him but all
these are like unquestionable known facts and we are supposed to believe on
these. Is that all? Is our relation with him this much only? We all worship God
but does this relation exist as many to one only, I guess not. Don’t we have a
one to one relation with him?
Each of us shares the same love and
care with God as we share with the person whom we love the most in this world.
I am not God but he exists in me and
every other human being; he is the conscience, he is the soul, he is my inner
voice, he knows me, he owns me, he exists in my happiness, he exists in my
love, he exists in my anger, he is there in my prayers, he is there in my
tears, I argue with him, I force him, I beg from him, I fight with him; he is
always there with me.
We can never be angry on him because
we can never be angry on ourselves because he is the one who has created everything
and we know that we are nothing; when we are helpless; we just leave the whole
thing on him and surrender ourselves completely and just say, “it is you who
has given us these problems, you only will find the solutions.” When we are
lost, we beg from him with bowed head and folded hands because we know that it
is only he who can bring back the boat of life to the shore and we do believe
in the chanting of mantras and prayers because we know that miracles can happen
if he wants because we know that he is the supreme power and he can do anything
even if it is impossible.
It is this belief of all of us that
proves his existence; it is our faith that has kept him in our heart and mind
forever. And he listens to us otherwise the rituals and customs would not have
existed even after so much involvement of science in day to day life.
Whatever happens, we always say either “Thank God” or
“Oh God”.
