Hi God!. Are You there.



God is a name
We use to identify You
As if to describe somebody set apart
Your essence is to exist
Absolute purity in all Your parts.

The ancient Greeks tried to know You
Some said You are the divine craftsman
Others said You are the pure act,
The unmoved mover or the first substance

Then came the dark ages
With some really bright people and proofs
You are the divine Being
Bang! Came Thomas Aquinas with his 5 proofs

When things were falling in place
Another blow! An opposition, question, etc.
God is not a proposition or principle to be proved,
But a person to be experienced
So now … how can I know You?

Are You just a projection of my thoughts?
Have You created me or is it I who have created You?
Are You merely the supremely intelligent
Or unique substance or the supreme monad
If just these then You must be kidding me
So I need the wager just to be on the safer side
Just to make sure that I won’t suffer
Is it like a business deal to believe You
If You exist, profit! If not there is no lose
Oh! Some say it’s a better “bet” to believe You

No! No! I believe You because I love You
I can feel Your love Your presence
You sacrificed Your son for me
I am because You are
And so I fall before Your brilliance
In adoration of Your being.
And call You humbly from within me what You are in truth
My truly loving god.

Fully animal knowing


Do animals have intellect? I don’t know or not really sure but I am of the opinion that animals do have intelligence: the dog recognizes his master, the elephant remembers his family. A dolphin likes to be around humans they are playful, a seal knows to spin a ball on his nose.
A cat robs food because he is hungry, a man too robs, the cat is punished the man is put behind bars. Cat does not rob again or is careful while robbing. The man too shows a similar behaviour. The man uses his reason what does the cat use? Is it instinct? Is It not that we human beings too learn or use our instinct. We may again defend this age old arguments saying that we have reason we are superior to animals. I am not saying that we and animals are at the same level. I would like to think that they too are intelligent but we are unable to understand them. We are unable to understand them because we think about animals the way we human beings think and not the way animals think about animals.

Is it only instinct that the animals use or is it something more ???????

Is arguing; His existence needed


Does God exist? Yes. Do we need to prove his existence? No. there are proofs given by Thomas Aquinas. Are these proofs useless, no. proofs are good it helps us increase faith. We scratch our heads so much to prove that God exists that God no longer seems to be supreme, he becomes just like any other object. We reason so much that there is no place for faith. We have heard that faith and reason are the two wings of Christianity. If we run after reason all the time then there is no faith or very little faith. A bird cannot fly just with one wing. So to really have a good relationship with God we need to give space also for the faith element. To allow faith to grow, according to me we need to give a break to our quest of proving the existence of God. A simple man who has not done a research on Gods existence according to me seems to be more closer to God than all the great scholars who try to prove Gods existence. Live a simple life and simply believe in God. I exist because he is.
