Articles: Devotion | | Why should man believe in God - An Optimistic Explanation | |
|
| I prefer to dis-agree for most of the original
article. It is just a belief that Mrs.S&S has or other similar people have.
1. Meditation has nothing to do with God/belief in the existence of god. I am afraid, you did not understand the basic principle of meditation. I do meditate, but never believed that there is some body above and beyond.
2. Being good and helpful to others and being positive does not relate to your belief in the existence of god. You can be all, but don't believe in the god.
3. If some thing man can not create, that does not substantiate your opinion that there is some body else. BTW, Who created this 'some body'?
When some one in a serious medical condition, and saved by a surgery, people suddenly start believing in god. Remember, it is the doctor and the people around who saved it. You need to go and meet the doctor to thank him, not go to tirupathi and do blind-faith things.
4. God do not have any influence on you, your thoughts or your deeds. People who believe in God only attribute everything to god. Again, its a belief, yours. truly. You are as good as you want to be. Your fate never depends on any body else, including mysterious super powers.
5. God did not give mankind the knowledge they possess, they cultivated it all by themselves over the ages instead. If he could give it to the mankind, why did it took so many years to arrive at this point?
6.If you do not put your (wo)MAN-ly efforts, you can not learn any thing. Your life depends completely not on how much you learn and how much you apply in the real world. Good or bad.
7. Some people believe in scientists, because whatever they say can be proved. More over, it can be repeated every where, so that every body can believe it. But all aspects of GOD, nothing can be proven. Everything is attributed and believed, but can never be proven.
8. For a moment I agree, there is some power/Omni-present energy. But what good it can do, if you can not unleash it/utilize it/leverage it? No body have ever showed that by following a certain path, you can unleash this and utilize it in a certain way. Take any other form of energy, one can show how to use it and every body can tap it.
This is so mysterious, unseen, only FELT by those who believe, because there is nothing. Just the blind belief.
There is no reason for man to believe in 'god'-like substance. One is free to believe whatever they want to. Its their belief ofcourse. Many people, who believed in themselves, often succeeded in their lives and also change and more appropriately impact others lives. This is history, and have all traces you can verify upon. I haven't seen any such blind faith or even those hard-lined-devotees impacting others' lives in such a positive way. Again, you may think they do, but I bet, you can not prove it, just like the existence of god, how much their belief in god contributes to it.

Hey....blue screen
1)Since you believe god can do anything in this
universe,
Can god create another god who is more powerful than
him?
my response: God is powerful energy and divinity. It is one and only. it cannot be more or less.God is capable of doing anything.....anything.
2)Can god learn, like gain more knowledge than he
already has?
my response: God is knowledge itself. There is no learning and forgetting.
3)can god create a rock that even he can't lift?
My response: He can create the biggest rock on the earth and just by his glance he can break it, let alone lifting.
when we understand the nature of God, we do not have any trace of doubt.because we already know he is all powerful that he can create anything and control the same creation.There is time for everything.

Hey friend
1)if you believe in electrons coz you read
about them in a science book then atheists shouldn’t
have a problem with a believer believing in God coz he
read about God in a book. But the main problem is
science is backed up with concrete proofs and the
scientific applications stand as a proof for its
theories
MY RESPONSE: Science itself means it is based on logic and proof.But
devotion is not logical it is devotional. You believe in scientists'
experiments but you don't believe in people's experiences of God. The only
prrof of His existence need not be visibility. The way people change
from bad to good is also a method to prove their devotion. We personally
have so many experiences with God, his guidance, his love...we can
only feel them at heart, we can't show proofs to another person.
2)One might have to ask
what sort of problem does God have, to show himself to
His creation? Why the wait?
MY RESPONSE: God is someone very easy to approach and very tough too .
Love begets love. love for God is needed to taste his love or to feel
him. He is divine and so powerful that he cannot be seen to the naked
eye. That is the reason why our ancient munis and rishis had to do hard
penance inorder to crave for the unreachable, inorder to fill themselves
with power and energy to view God.NORMAL being CANNOT STAND IN hIS
MIGHTY ENERGY.
3)*Just because one is unable to see air or God, can he
deny their existence?
How about the pink invisible dragon that I said was
god in your previous article. No one can prove that it
doesn’t exist. No one has yet seen it, but since they
can’t see it and cant disprove its existence make my
pink dragon god?
MY RESPONSE: sure, think of any invisible good thing to be God.God is
not a form, it is goodness ,love and purity. that which leads you from
darkness to light to godliness. If ur pink dragon guides you well,
meditate on it and it becomes God.
4)/*The Sun, Stars, Moon, Earth, Water, Sky and the
nature’s wonders which cannot be created by Man are
all proofs of God’s existence*/
How? What proof is there that god put them there and
not my pink invisible dragon apart from your
faith/belief?
MY RESPONSE: as i said b4, think ur pink draogon created the whole
universe....no problem. That which is beyond human capacity can only be
done by God and no other.that powerful energy is God but none else....it
is pure energy.
5)/*Can he die at any moment he wants*/
Suicides?
MY RESPONSE: how many people could succeed in their suicides? 99% were
saved someway....and the other 1% also didn't die without God's
consent. if god is good why does he allow someone to commit suicide will be ur
question. again everything depends on one's fate. every soul has a
guardian spirit and some guides who will guide the souls before being
born.they decide in the spirit world as to where to be born, how to be born
and so on.they take birth only to let go of their karmas.every soul
will be anxious and eager b4 being born to finish off more karmas then his
capacity.he thinks he can finish it off by losing his wife, children
and parents at the same time..............the more karmas he finishes off
the more he grows on the spiritual plane. but once he is born, he is
mingled in the maya and he forgets all his vows and words of strength he
spoke b4 he was born....once he loses all of them he cries in
despair...........sameway he himself chose to commit suicide in his next birth
and which is written as his fate.....it is all preplanned .....u just
have to believe all these an di really can't show u the proofs.........
6)*Man uses mind. He is forgetful; God uses heart. He
is forgiveness*/god has a heart? Or was it just a metaphor for
kindness?
MY RESPONSE:yes God has a heart if you take him to be aliving being or
energy. when u have a heart to feel him, you will feel his heart
too.... how many times did God not help humanity in times of need? leave
about the whole of humanity....i have my own little personal experiences
with him.....every moment he has been with me....i speak to him and he
consoles me ,guides me in my dreams and what not...it is again just
belief. I cannot live without him and his love, his grace.every day is an
experience with God for me....as i said he need not be visible to
you.feel him at ehart...
7)*For this, blind ‘Faith’ is the first step on the
ladder of Realisation to reach your final destination
called ‘God.’*/
“blind” faith was what killed galileo for saying that
the earth is not the center of universe. It was
blasphemy to say that earth revolved round the sun
because of people with blind faith. Sorry but faith
which is blind is damaging to the self.
MY RESPONSE:have blind faith in case of good and not bad. dont leave ur
luggage with a stranger bec u were told to have blind faith. when u r
in trouble, pray to Him and have blind faith in him and u will see
things happen positively.to have blind faith is to love blindly ........with
no trace of doubt.
8)All in all I agree with almost all of your points in
the article. But for an atheist it wouldn’t make any
sense because he doesn’t have the need to believe in a
god to begin with.
MY RESPONSE: athiests need not believe blindly in God to develop faith.
the way they see itself differs. when u take one good thing and keep on
talking or sensing negatively it appears to be more negative. when u
view it in +ve sense, it appears to be so. first they need to be a bit
optimistic......dont be negative in ur approach then u will see the +ve
side of ur negative approach.
9)Agreed that we need to believe in God. But what god,
which god, how many gods?
There is almost a new new-age-religion springing up
somewhere every brand new day. So what god/gods do we
need to pray to? What religion does one need to
choose?
If god is just one then why the multiple personality
disorder?
MY RESPONSE:God is powerful energy and purity. meditate on the formless
energy for a good beginning instead of searching for forms and then
trying to meditate on. Religion is a means to attain the invisible and not
the end itself though so many people fight in its name out of
ignorance. Depending on one's culture, habits and the environment they are born
and brought up there arose many religions and Gods. there is actually
only one religion ie religion of Love. God doesn't take pleasure in
religious fights....it is we who connect him with these fights......just be
alone and meditate on him on his invisibility and u will see God and
feel god.
10)One more question, is god so powerful that he can do
ANYTHING?
MY RESPONSE: yes,gos ia all powerful that he can do anything in this
universe but we need to be deserved to make him change th eimpossible to
possible.........it is we alone.
