god

thanks everyone for ur deeply insightful replies. i am put up among people who take rituals as a sign of godliness. since i am unaccustomed to rituals and also do not believe in them, although i am not against them(to each his own), i am grossly misunderstood to the extent that my integrity is questioned (i do have very high level of integrity). so it was soothing to have so many of u analyse god in so very different ways.

So long as you have faith in yourself and your own goodness, you need not worry about such type of people. We Indians are anyway big hypocrites in matters of religion, so just do what is right and try not to give much thought to people who question you and ridicule you.

Very true, People tend to think that their way is the only way of living which shows a very immature and uneducated view of things...Best to ignore such people and go on with what you believe in !

I think God is presents in every live things. God is always with everyone.

Not only in live things but all things, water is god, fire is god, air is god.

Earth, Water, fire, air and Ether, the five elements for which we owe our life are the real gods. We humans ignore them and abuse them. Instead we run after those lifeless idols made by people like us.

In fact, even the idols are made of the five aforesaid elements.

God is every where its just a belief those who don't believe won't be able to able to find His existence. :)

God has no shape or form. A street beggar sees the god in a person who gives him a morsel of food. Every selfless deed is a form of God, not those man made lifeless idols.

This is truth. :)

God has no shape many times we may not be able to know that even He may be sitting or standing near us. :)

By being good to others, within one's limits, one can see god in one's self. It's not necessary to donate a huge amount of money as rich philanthropists do. Just lending your ear to a person in distress is also a godly act.

Very true ! I am reminded of Janardhan Reddy while he was a minister, donated a 22 crore worth diamod studded crown to Lord Vekatesha, innstead if he had helped other poorer people in his own constituency which is one of most backward in the state, he might have at least eanred some good will. Today he is sitting behind bars neither here nor there....

This proves god (if at all there is one) cannot be flattered with gifts. This Janardhan Reddy who erased the border between Andhra and Karnataka to carry on his illegal mining thought he can wash off his sins with gifts.

I suppose he was hoping that ...Greed has no end and human beings try to bribe God as well thinking that he is as bad as them, so whats the whole point in prayers and belief ..

For moreover high profile person god will happy with costly gift. I read that Salman Khan donate funds for storing drinking water in Maharashtra. Not in one village for 2500 village. It is real service to god.

What Salman khan is doing is service to humanity. Service to humanity is nothing but godliness.

If Salman Khan is really doing that, it is a great thing ! Not many actors or celebrities think of helping the poorer section . ,

I have not heard of this. But if Salman Khan is doing this its a great job indeed.

God is Every where on the earth. I feel every power which is on the earth is God. God is many forms. We cannot say specific form is God. I pray God in human form, nature form and as usual which everyone pray God form.

Not really a great thing in my opinion, all he did was send water storage tanks which every politician and celebrity is seen doing nowadays, but what is the use of hundreds of tanks when there is no water. Had he given money for water tankers and resources for rainwater harvesting etc. then that would have been real service, and not just for seeking publicity. Just my honest opinion!

I see ! Going by his past criminal records I too was doubtful if the service rendered was genuine, there is no point in doing things in a half hearted manner...

I read it. he is also taking help of government and some private companies.

“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?” - Epicurus

Faith in god is good but putting my belief in something which I had never seen or experienced is an absurd notion for me. I think I can survive without any faith in god as far as I have faith in myself.

I could not agree more. Very good quotes to establish futility of faith in a hypothetical notion namely 'god'.
Have faith in yourself- is best motto.
