Sometime back I took the courage to realize that God is not supernatural. An omnipresent, omniscient, benevolent GOD could not exist in this world, where we are in constant struggle for survival against nature, evils of our own creation and our mind. We and our universe are nothing but a product of cosmic chance and evolution.Although such a realization helped me appreciate nature, society and life more,it also made me lost and helpless, a feeling of lost ground. This made me ask what is GOD? Why do we need GOD?
We have always struggled through ages to make sense of our world. We seek to find order in chaos, explain the unknown and the concept of GOD is an effort in that direction. Looking back into anthropological history we can see how GOD has evolved over time, to address the unknowns of that era. I feel GOD is one solution to a problem,But what is the problem?
Life is not an easy game, and we need a strong sail to get past the turbulence, the unknown still scares us, we are by nature anxious about the future and our well being.The faith in GOD helps us in coming to terms with life, may be because of our conditioning.Again it brings in a certain order to chaos and knowledge into the unknown.We feel comforted by a personal benefactor always hearing and protecting ,working in magical ways.
Why not look at GOD from a different perspective? Why not redefine GOD? The concept of GOD has changed so much over time and I believe a redefinition is long overdue.Why can't GOD be a concept that is symbolized? Concepts of Positive thinking, living the moment, compassion, love, nature, family, friends and all life around us. Such a GOD is not supernatural but is as real as the feeling of being alive.
