God is a reality, ever present in us and in every being - Swami

[Guest guest]

God is present everywhere; but we can understand only that part of Him that manifests before our cognition. Ordinary people will swear that the earth does not move at all; it is held forth in poetry as a symbol of stability. But, it has two motions, both unbelievably fast! It rotates on its own axis at a speed which exceeds a thousand miles per hour; even while rotating so, the earth moves round the sun at an astonishing rate of speed! But, do we notice it while it happens?

 

God too is a reality, ever present in us and in every being; but, we miss Him, as we miss the movement of the earth. We have to infer God thorough proofs and evidences of His providence, His grace, His majesty and His glory, just as we infer the movements of the earth, the moon and the stars, by watching the sky, the seasons and the precise procession of day and night.
