Does God Exist?

Hero Image
The existence of God is an eternal philosophical question that mankind has sought to answer since its inception. Many people hold the conviction that religion and God do exist and consider God as the Almighty power and the Creator of the world. In comparison, others think that there is no higher being called God.

Those who believe that God does not exist prove it to be the fact with the argument that ‘God cannot be seen and hence God is not present.’
But the believers of God ask a counter-question to nullify this argument that,
‘How do you understand that you cannot see God? Can you see that understanding of yours? No. So would it be right to say that since you cannot see your understanding, your understanding does not exist?”
Thus, it is not necessary that what cannot be seen does not exist.

Now, before we set out to prove whether or not God exists, we must know what is God.
The Enlightened being, has an in-depth spiritual knowledge of everything that exists in the world and therefore provides us with the answer.

Every living being has a Soul ( aatma ) within him, and this Soul itself is God (Parmatma).
Therefore, God is in every creature, whether visible or invisible. God is present within all living beings i.e. trees, plants, flowers, insects, animals or humans. A lily, a snail, an ant, a butterfly, an elephant, a man or a woman - every living entity from one sense to five senses has God within them. If God exists, only then can life exist.

God resides as energy in all living beings, and in the presence of this energy, every being grows. Eg. If we soak pulses in a wet cloth, it will grow. But if we soak a stone in a wet cloth and keep it for years together, will it grow? No. Things that do not have God within, can never grow, nor can they ever feel anything. Do you know what are the attributes of God?

It is only in the presence of God that we can experience these feelings. Eg. If one tries to pick an ant, will it not run away in fear? This is because it can feel the hand coming to pick it. Whereas if we try to pick a table and even break it, the table will not run at all, because it is void of all feelings.

Wherever we see growth and feelings, we know that there is God within. The growth and feelings are the simplest and easiest proofs that suggest the presence of God. In inanimate things, there is no God and therefore they do not grow, nor feel.

Through physical eyes we can see temporary and transient things i.e. the physical body on the outside. The eternal God residing inside can be seen only through divine eyes (divya chakshu), which are procured when one attains Self-realization. So, if one has not discovered the real Self, one does not truly understand who God is. Every human being has the ability to have the divine vision to be able to see God in all living beings. All that is required is the grace of Living Gnani from whom the knowledge of the Self can be acquired.
