search

Would I offend many if I say that everyone is looking for God in all that they do? The atheists do not believe in the existence of God. The agnostics keep to a neutral position. The believers do not doubt their doctrines.

Nevertheless I dare submit that God is not found in doctrines, books and scriptures. These are merely tools and a representation of the Beloved. God is not to be believed for its very existence. God is in every step we make in life to search for betterment. To a writer, her writings reflect a relentless quest for the truth. What moves her and from which value does she form her opinions? All that she writes only go to show that the truth, which teases her from the corners of world, is her search for God.

The word "god" causes one to stop breathing for 10 seconds. Each time it is mentioned and each time another person asks "Do you believe in god?" you ponder. It is not caused by the need to formulate a smart reply but it questions the very foundation of your philosophy and you realise that you have none of your own other than those read from books, learned in school and copied from others. It is a case of lost cause when one does not know God in the flowers, the trees, friends, enemies, family and oneself.

As far as it goes, an ant knows God from each micro-cube of sugar it pilfers from the canister.
