Why Should You Know God ?
The number of atheists seems to be rising every year in the world and today some of the most powerful and influential people are atheist, Why should we bother to know God when many people live a happy and successful life without believing God ?
If I wish to know anything about physics or any other branch of science, there is only one theory and the entire world agrees with that. Further, which God are we talking about ? Are we talking about Allah, Jesus, Yahweh, Rama, Krishna, Buddha or the others Gods ?
Most people see God in the image of human beings. If Hindus worships Avatars like Rama and Krishna, Christians worship Jesus, the Son of God and Buddhists worship the Buddha. Even the religions who shun Idol worship often worship the Sacred Text considering it Holy. The difference is not merely in the names, but the personalities of God too are quite different.
Yet we can find some descriptions of God which are almost universal, We often wonder which description of God is correct and which is not. We also often believe that God is someone who is beyond the conception of human minds. He cannot be seen and felt. Yet more than 60% people in this world, still believes in God.
If we closely study the attributes of God, we can easily notice that these attributes are the attributes of an ideal man which we all wish to become. We all wish to be creative and create something new for the world. It is due to this desire in men that we could make so many inventions, construct cities, make arts and literatures. Every human being is creative and unique.
Life is a mystery which can not be explained either by science or by scriptures. Truth has a body and a soul which we call science and religion. Contrary to popular perception, they are not opposed to each other but complement each other like body and soul. In fact, they can not exist without each other.
"When you know what is a human being, then it becomes possible to know what is a planet and what is a star and what is a universe and what is a cosmos and what is God!"
