Where is God? A proof yet to be discovered by many

A child asked, “Who is God? Where can I find Him?” The mother had answers but was unsure of how to give an explanation that would be understood by the innocent mind. She gave him the Bible and the child found what he wanted. God is the almighty power and his presence does not need any evidence for His existence, still, people keep on asking about the “Proof of God”.  The working of all natural forces claims a governing power that is unseen to the naked eyes. The rain, the climate, the mountains, the oceans, the volcanoes, different life span of the living beings and everything else is governed by the Supreme Power which proves that God is there. It is important to understand that each religion specifies different features of the Almighty, but God does not need to develop a physical form. Jesus Christ is known as the Son of God, who carried the rightful message to lead one’s life that came directly from God. Nobody knows what God looks like, because He is formless and still is

“The light you are seeking has always been within.”- Anonymous Every sentient being on the Earth, and maybe also anywhere in the Universe is looking for happiness and bliss. While we may think that most of the human beings on the Earth are not in the quest for searching God, when they seek fulfilment and bliss, they are indirectly seeking God . However, there are some wiser ones are seeking the Ultimate Reality as they have understood that in this world of duality, pleasure and sorrow would come together like ‘conjoined twins’. To become a seeker, it is important to comprehend that this world, as it appears to our five senses of sight, smell, touch, hearing and taste is transient and inconsistent.  Thus, the happiness and pleasures we get from this world are also bound to change as this is the law on the Universe. That is why a truly smart way of remaining blissful and contented is seeking a permanent source of joy. And that is what seers and wise men have referred to a

How to Love God? Importance of Noble Actions and Surrender to God’s Grace

While we are aware of the feelings of attachment and affability with all the near and far relations we have, love for God often figures out as something not easy to comprehend for a naive human mind. You can remember someone you have seen, you may also fall in love with them and you may also develop a commitment towards a human or living creature you have seen and interacted with. But the question remains how to love God ? Our religious scriptures and our preachers often emphasise to us the importance of loving God.  However, relating to an existence that you have never had a one-to-one contact with is a challenge. And to add to the complexities, most of us are taught to see God as some remote person sitting in the skies up above and judging us of our good and bad actions.   He is said to be our Father, reprimanding and rewarding us for our deeds. With such a basic description of god, it's definitely not easy to have a loving relationship with Him (or Her). But, the

Proof God exists| Have you thought about it or not?

With our mundane existence, it is easy for us to forget that our life carries any value. The same way most of us care about the concept of God, just like a make belief system! For us, God is not the subject of contemplation. Seldom has any human thought whether God is an existential reality or just a belief system imposed by the religion being followed by others in their family. So, it is only under extreme circumstances that a human mind looks for proof God exists . The believers and non-believers There are certain people who have used many logics to think that there is nothing we can call as God and it is just a make belie system formed for the convenience of humans. Probably, to create restrictions for actions conceived as good and bad.  However, when a human mind that has believed in the supposed idea of God from years due to the family conditioning and religious belief, is faced with extreme odds, which do not get resolved, they question the existence of God. Going beyond our be

A truthful Life leads to Ultimate Salvation- The purpose of Religion Explained

Religion is the binding faith of a group of people that encourages them to move on the righteous path of life. God is one and His children are bound under different names although the purpose of religion is one, to enable the growth of the human spirit, and the progress of society. By fully adopting and putting into practice the divine teachings, the true follower is led “to sincerity of intent, to high purpose, to purity and spotless honor, to surpassing kindness and compassion, to the keeping of their covenants when they have covenanted, to concern for the rights of others, to liberality, to justice in every aspect of life, to humanity and philanthropy, to valor and to unflagging efforts in the service of mankind.” Religion also provides the teachings and unifying power by which entire societies can achieve order and stability. And it is the Word of God that, alone, “can claim the distinction of being endowed with the capacity required for so great and far-reaching a change.”

What do you think is The Purpose of Life?| How do you to get the fulfilment of life and being?

Religious and spiritual philosophies have been pondering on the purpose of life from times immemorial. This is a question that has been mentioned from time to time in various cultures. Every sane human has felt that life cannot just be about a routine of eating, sleeping, procreating, having some entertainment and occasional holidays - It must have something more valuable and deeper to it. However, the human mind cannot recognise everything with its method of structured paths and strict guidelines. A certain degree of openness is required for seeking answers to deep questions so that the mind does not get deviated in the closed alleyways of limited belief systems. Some things can be easily perceived by the heart, but almost impossible to comprehend by the mind, also every human being, and for that matter, every living creature has their unique identity and characteristics. Thus, their paths and speed of personal growth in relation to various aspects like the physical, material and

World Peace| Realistic approach to achieving World Peace

“Let your vision be world-embracing, rather than confined to your own self.” -Baha’i Writings These are times where technology is turning the world into a compact place. This is somehow working to close the gaps in our mindsets. With human beings getting the ability to communicate better with global counterparts and travel means becoming more convenient and economical, the world community can come closer. Visionaries aptly and astutely observe that times are favourable for ushering world peace and winning the world through inclusive actions and love. Gone are the old times when a single person would use a particular community to make war to establish their rule over others. There is a need for visionaries and leaders to whom people look up to emphasise on the oneness of mankind. Though we have a variety of cultures, traditions, religious beliefs, with the thread of basic oneness connecting us, these variations can rather be adornments of the human race. Unfortunately, the
