La Vérité Éternelle

La veritte eternelle, the eternal truth. Many of us believe and worship the god. What is god anyway? Many say he is the only source of Energy. God is used wherever phusics fails. The creation of universe is attributed to the god. The creation of life on the earth is attributed to the god. Wherever our theories fail we associate god. God is worshipped in many forms. There are many religions, many principles to praise and justify the existence of god. God is pictured as the forgiver, punisher, guardian, rescuer, creator, destoryer and whatnot. They are not only confusing but also contradicting each other. The stories of the god are equally eccentric. God is supposed to have awakened the dead, killed the immortals etcetra. There are religoous books like the Bible, Quran, Bhaghavata, Tora etcetra that explains these stories. The paper work available on god is larger than the largest ocean on the earth. Yet we find atheists!

When you have so many things about god, it is indeed difficult to decide which is the truth, the eternal truth. When man came into existance, did he believe in god? If not, when did this principle of god came into existance? And how exactly it was derived and why?

There are in fact no exact answers for these questions. Analysing the human behaviour however, you can arrive at the nearest possible answer. When man arrived on earth, he was totally wild. Hunting for food, sleeping in caves, no civilisation. It was just a struggle for survival. Human thinking was subdued by this struggle. He could not explain any physical phenomenon. As human race evolved, man started asking quetions. Questions to himself and to the world. But he had no answers. Everything was intangible. Then he started attributing every inexplicable physical phenomenon to the god. Sun, moon, earth, trees, animals, birds, water eveyrthing. Everything was just god for him. And this belief continued through generations, ages.

But gradually human were able to find proper answers for their questions. It was a rebellion against the god, agianst the beliefs of the scoiety then. Physics took over. Human discovered amazing things about the nature, universe. The number of non-believers of god gradually increased. It was science(physics) replacing god.

Though we are civilised now, we have enhanced thinking power and unlimited resouces to research, we still attribute the intagible physical phenomenon to god. And I clearly think that is wrong.

So does god exist?
Well, answer to this question is a bit complex. God exist only if there is a believer (theist). God exists in the mind (heart or soul) of the believers. People have said many things about the god. Lemme just take a few points from the greats.

• Atma and paramatma are one and the same (advaita philosophy, Sri. Shankaracharya)
• There is only one god but many ways to reach him. (source: unknown)
  
• There is only one soul for a body.(source: unknown)
• God gives to strength and the power to face challenges. (Gita)

Well, lets just do a summation of all these. The god is within ourselves. Soul is no different from our consiousness. So god is our consiousness. When we worship the god, we get a secured feeling that the god is with us all the time and it does provide a great deal of strength, doesn't it? Every preacher preached the same thing. But their preachings were tampered and maligned. People were made to believe in myths. Every religious book praises the ruler of that time as a god, be it Bhagavata, Bible, Tora, Quaran. Most of the times, rulers have created a seperate religion to portray themselves as god!

So, the eternal truth is, my friend, if you believe in god, be truthful to yourself. There is no need to go to a temple, a mosque or a church. There is no need to follow a religion. God is within all of us.
