When you speak about God, What is this God you describe?
Do you understand what a God or a Buddha is? or is it only faith that they are there that make you believe?
My understanding is that man came to know of the existence of God through extraordinary Beings Who appeared in the world and told us about His existence as well as some of His attributes.
These superhuman Beings were unquestionably possessed of a power that is not of this world. They were usually born into ordinary families, had no formal education, possessed no power or armies yet with Their Words alone subdued and conquered the world!! How amazing! How unbelievable that despite being opposed by powerful and ruthless kings and armies and despite their followers being tortured imprisoned and exiled, They overcame all opposition and won the day.
The truth They taught spread all over the world.
They are living proof of God the undying, unborn Reality.
Yet history shows that no one has been able to emulate Them or even come close. Buddha, Krishna, Moses, Zoroaster, Jesus, Muhammad the Bab and Baha’u’llah- Their influence is unmatched by men. No wealth or power have ever equaled Their feats and accomplishments. They stand out alone and above all men throughout history.
There is no one in history that can compare with These Exalted Beings. None to rival Their wisdom and knowledge. People bow before Their memory because they sense a reality, a holiness far, far beyond the grasp of our limited finite human minds.
Some call it God, others Ultimate Reality or Nirvana but it is something which prompts our inner beings to bow down humbly in worship and we build and dedicate temples, churches, pagodas, mosques and synagogues to this Reality and Truth.
The sad thing is we are all worshipping the same reality yet we do not see this so we group into imaginary ‘us and them’ camps when we are all worshipping the same Reality.
