Understanding God

The subject of ‘God’ is as mysterious as Life and Death.  The more we dwell into it the more we get lost into the wilderness, only to resume our search for the ‘Truth’.  While the serious minded take the spiritual path, the not so serious, but with a religious bend of mind, show some interest in the subject. There may also be a category in between these two, who are curious about the whats, whys and hows of ‘God’. However, I do not think there will be anyone who, not even for a moment, does not ponder about the subject ‘God’ unless he/she is completely insane.

When I say ‘God’ is as mysterious as Life and Death, ‘death’ may appear to be more mysterious than ‘life’, as we all know what life is like but have no idea about death. Life is mysterious by its mere presence(and absence). I always wonder how and why there is life. It is amazing how life pervades through the whole lot of organisms, yet we spend little time and energy in knowing the truth about life. As for death, we all wonder what happens to us after death. There are many mystic books available in the market dealing with this topic but one is not sure to what extent these are true. However, in true sense, we are seeking to know about life – both before and after death.

This article, though, is not about Life and Death. This article is about understanding God through logical analysis from layman’s point of view. While only an enlightened person can write with conviction on a subject like this, I confess I am neither a spiritual person nor I have any experience in these matters. I therefore cannot vouch for the correctness of what have been stated by me in the following pages. This can be construed as a layman’s hypothetical theory of God. I however hope that this article will provide some food for thought.

Happy Reading!!
