Who Is God?
The question, who is God, is as old as civilization itself. The moment human beings must have understood the life the question must have come to his mind that ultimately wherefrom he is getting the support system to carry on his life. As he understood life, he must have realized some unseen superpower who is managing everything around him so perfectly. He must have developed some faith, love, and respect towards this superpower and feel that he is fully capable of taking care of us.
We may be worshiping differently. we may be praying differently. We may be going to different places to thank him for managing all our life day in and day out so perfectly, but for sure we all believe in that superpower which we call God. Now again the question is ultimately who he/she is.
We all try to find out day in and out the answer to this question. We want to who he is, how he looks, There is one Danatan scripture called Ram Charit manas that says
बिनु पद चलइ सुनइ बिनु काना। कर बिनु करम करइ बिधि नाना॥
आनन रहित सकल रस भोगी। बिनु बानी बकता बड़ जोगी॥
Meaning
This means the one who moves without feet, listens without ears, can do many things without hand sitting Chit Ananda means truth, consciousness, bliss. The unchanging, permanent highest reality.
All faiths or belief systems or all the religious stream believe that He is the most powerful omnipotent, Present everywhere, omnipresent, and our best well-wisher. So far nobody could make that who he is, even the Vedas say him Net Neti, he is like that he is like that but not able to define exactly how he is.
We all try to search for him in our own way, even some philosophers or genious spend their lives to find him out, some believe without a hitch that he is the superpower.
This is true that he is the Creator, He is the sustainer, he is the destroyer. He creates this all he only sustains and he only destroys. He is the absolute power.
One Sanskrit shlokas says
मूकं करोति वाचालं पङ्गुं लङ्घयते गिरिं ।
यत्कृपा तमहं वन्दे परमानन्द माधवम् ॥
Muukam Karoti Vaacaalam Panggum Langghayate Girim |
Yat-Krpaa Tamaham Vande Param-Aananda Maadhavam ||
Meaning:
1: (I Remember with Devotion the Divine Grace of Krishna Who can make the) Dumb speak with Eloquence and the Lame cross high Mountains,
2: I Remember and Extol that Grace which flows from the Supreme Bliss manifestation of Madhava.
The one who can not speak starts speaking, The lost leg reaches the hilltop, this is possible with whose blessings, I bow to him, he is the absolute bliss the “Madhav”
