GOD DOESN'T EXIST? read on...



GOD DOESN'T EXIST?


A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.

As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.

They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe that God exists.

" Why do you say that?"asked the customer.

"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist.

Tell me, if God exists,would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine loving a God who would allow all of these things."

The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument.

The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and un-kept.

The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist."

" How can you say that?"asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and I am a barber.And I just worked on you!"

"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."

"Ah, but barbers DO exist! What happens is, people do not come to me."

"Exactly !"- affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! What happens, is, people don't go to Him and do not look for Him. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."


The beauty of life does not depend on how happy you are but how happy others can be because of you!

Attachment causes pain...

Attachment causes pain, and detachment results in joy.
But, you cannot easily detach yourself from activity;
the mind clings to something or the other.

Make it cling to God, let it perform all actions for God
and leave the success or failure, the loss and the profit,
the elation or the dejection, to God.

This is the secret of Peace and contentment.

Everything that happens is the consequence of one's own thoughts and actions...

The Lord
created everything
in the universe,
but kept nothing for Himself.


Every creature
has been given complete freedom
to enjoy anything it desires.
But there is one limitation.

For every action
there is a corresponding reaction.
You are free to act as you please,
subject to this rule.

If you misuse the freedom
given to you and indulge in wrongful deeds,
the consequences too are bound to be bad.
These results are not caused by God.

The Lord does not inflict harm on anyone.
Everything that happens is the consequence of one's own thoughts and actions.

Our formless God..

Our formless God,
It requires intense effort
to fix the mind on the formless GOD.
Those who do such worship
should have a very pure consciousness...

God is our Base!
"Castles in the clouds are passing phenomena
but God is their base.
Just as waves spray bubbles
arising from the ocean fall away and disappear,
but the ocean does not disappear!"

How do you know that there is God?..Mummy, tell me...

How do you know that there is God?

Unless you cultivate love, tolerance, humility, faith and reverence, how is it possible for you to realize God? God is Love, Love is God.

Where there is love, there is God. He is certainly evident. Love more and more people, love them more and more intensely. Transform the love into service, transform the service into worship, that is the highest spiritual discipline.

Love is the source of our intuition, our creativity, our empathy. It is the most basic and primary tool of all therapists, allowing us to extend beyond ourselves to merge with the one who is suffering, experience the other's pain, and finally dissolve that pain with Love's life-giving force.

Love is the solvent for the hardest of hearts. Love can confer peace, joy and wisdom, cultivate love, express love, let love by your breath, let the sun of love help the lotus of your heart to blossom.

Love is God's highest miracle. Love can make you gather the affection of all mankind. Love will not tolerate any selfish aim or approach.

Love is God, live in love. The spark of divine dwells in your heart. Discover it, feel it, attain it, experience it, you will find the peace at heart, peace of mind, and the answers to everything and anything, yes, it is love.

Expand your heart so that it can encompass all, do not narrow it down into an instrument of restricted love. Love activates, love fulfills, fill your hearts with the sweet fragrant water of love.

Man is love embodied

Man is love embodied. He thirsts for love and he finds real joy in loving and receiving selfless love. Love all human beings as embodiments of the same divine principles.

You can experience it yourself. When one does something that he feels is good or helpful, he will experience a joy, a feeling of contentment only he experiences. He might not want to show, but deep inside there is this connectedness to the spark of divine, that is love.

Too many people in this world is deprived of love, of care, of concern and hunger and thirst for it in a wrong way, driving them further and further away from achieving them. We talk, we voice our feelings to be loved, to be cared but who heeds them? Some of us are too busy to even count our blessings and forgotten our loved ones. Our loved ones who wait and wait for just a small response.

When you know that you are but a spark of the divine and that all else the same divine spark, you look upon all with reverence and true love. Your heart is filled with supreme joy and the canker of egoism is rendered ineffective. Man is seeking joy in far-off places, in quiet spots, not knowing that the spring of joy is in his heart, the haven of peace is in himself.

So, Love is God, God is the embodiment of perfect love. so, He can be known and realized, reached and won only through love. You can see Him only with the help of moonlight. You can see God only through the rays of love.....

Don't worry about different names, God is omnipotent, omnipresence, omniscience and in all forms. Fear not that you are an outsider. Accept love into your heart, expand it, experience it, treat all as brothers and sisters. You are also onto the road to spiritual wealth and health.

What do you call yourself? 'I', isn't it? What do everybody call themselves? "I" too. Actually all the 'I" belongs to the same family, same embodiments of God. I is You, You is I, We belongs to the same creed, same origin and moves towards the same path, irrespective of different faith....

Love all beings as manifestations of the same divinity, that is the very core of yourself. Love all beings, that is more than enough.

Mummy...mummy, why can't we see God?

Mummy, mummy....why can't we see God? one day, my boy asked me while he was watching his grandpapa reading his bible.

Oh, my child, All that you cannot see, hear or understand cannot be ruled out as non-existent. Even if you flash a powerful light in front of a blind man, he will see only darkness.

Oh, my child, all that you cannot see but feel are also in existing. Can you see air? Can you see love? But you know that there are there... We can feel them...

Likewise, people having no interest to know more about divinity or God is not at all interested to go further to understand. How can we human beings use our human brains to understand or describe our Creator? Our Creator who creates this universe and all its inhabitants? But if one closes one's eyes and try to listen to our inner inspirations inside our heart, you will feel something...yes...feel that special feeling...a feeling of connectedness...the spark of divinity that all of us possess...

Likewise, people having no faith will not perceive God even if you show God to them. They do not have eyes to see divinity and they proclaim that there is no divinity. A blind man can neither see his body nor describe his looks, but it does not follow that he has no body.

Thank you, mum, he smiled in agreement, embracing me hard, just to feel the spark of divinity in each other.
