God, Nature and Man.
Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.

The man on this earth does not know who was created first? This question had been in the mind of man when got senses and started understanding this Universe. Through all our religious books, we have been told that God was present when this nature was established and when this man was created and we have also been told that this nature and this universe had been created and established by God and then to complete the process, He established this man and woman and other animals. This is the understanding of one group of people who are accepting any of the religions on this earth.
But on the other hand there are people who do not believe in the existence of God. They say that this nature had been there and out of this nature this man came into being and when this man started thinking, he had established the existence of God and whatever he could not do, he started saying that this power is vested only in God. This group says that this God had been established by this man because he is he first who started collecting and preparing the list of items which he could not do and which he enlisted in the list which he handed over to God and started praying before Him. This group says that this man had been having different method of prayer and he had been changing these methods and had been adopting all those methods which this science and technology established before him. If we have an insight into the historical facts available in India, we shall come to the conclusion that this man had been creating so many methods of worshiping God and he is still on in discovering and establishing new methods of prayer.
We have noted that when the original method of prayer came into existence, it turned a religion and when more methods were created, those turned as sub religions or castes. And if we conduct a survey in India we shall come to the conclusion that more and more religions and sub religions are coming in existence and now there is a competition not in India alone, but all over the world and people in one religion are trying to establish that their religion or sub religion is the best and all should join this religion or sub religion. In history, they had been converting others to their own fold and if some were resisting, they were forced to adopt the religion of powerful people and if they refused they were killed. We have noted that here in India most of the Muslims and Christians are having Hinduism as their religion and the Sikhs who are saying that they are a separate religion are also having Hinduism as their origin.
The people are after God and they are trying to find out God, but it seems God had run away from this world. The people are repeating the same methods of prayer and their demands are unending. Even a normal father on earth would not like and tolerate all such rehearsals and shall run away and when we have created all these rehearsals before God, He too has run away because it is very difficult to hear the same rehearsals.
The man on this earth created God and then divided it into so many parts. The people in each religion have started claiming that their God is more powerful and when the Muslims in India started demolishing the religious places of Hindus, they were telling Hindus that their God has got no power and that is the reason, He is not coming forward and saving and protecting the religious places established for prayer before Him and similarly the Muslims were telling the Hindus that they should call their God and protect them when the Hindus were being converted forcibly to Mohamdanism.
When this man created God, this man came forward and he also established the institution where God sits and takes accounts from each one of us after our death and we are awarded or punished as per record. This man created the institutions of Hell and Heaven and he had been giving us accounts as to what happens in Hell and in Heaven. A further institution has been created and this man says that the people who had been totally religious and good people, they shall get salvation and they would never come to this earth. And it is on record that this man had been preparing the lists of sins, the list of crimes and the list of misconducts. It is also on record that this items in these lists had been changing and sometime people had been picking up one item from the list of sins and transferring the same to the list of crimes and sometime some items were transferred to the list of misconduct. The man on this earth started punishing the man on this earth, because he was not willing to wait till the man dies and produced before God to give his accounts and get punishment and award. We established societies, governments and religious institutions and we divided the list. Some items were declared as sins, some came in list of crimes and some came in list of misconducts. The people could be ousted from the family, from the society, they could be punished by the State and they could be dealt with under the misconduct rules.
Some say God lives in Heaven and some have come forward and are telling us that God is present everywhere. They have created an item which is called ‘ Soul’ and they say that this ‘Soul’ is part of God and it is guiding the man. Some have established an institution of ‘Devil’ too and they say that when we commit sins, crimes and misconducts, this ‘Devil’ is functioning in us and we are in control of the ‘Devil’. When this ‘devil’ comes in operation, God goes out of the scene and we cannot avoid directions. Otherwise, they say that whatever we do it is all as per God’s directions.
This man is very strange. When he successful, he shall be telling us the methods and hard work which he put in and got success, but when he fails, he shall be telling us that he failed because of bad luck which had been written by God when He was sending him on this earth. If this man says that he succeeded only because of blessings of God, this statement is always in low tone. In fact this man wants to tell the people the methods through which he could succeed and rarely he can give credit to his good luck and to God and His blessings.
The people who believe in God are not clear and when they are facing all the developments in the fields of science and technology, they are disturbed and they are not in a position to convince those who do not believe in the existence of God. They are ashamed rather to clear their position when they are countered that the people have been divided in names of different religions and one group is turning terrorist and the other groups are indulging in riots and in both the cases, they kill innocent people. It is on record that all innocent killings and all innocent tyrannies had been committed by religious people and they shall not be in a position to clear their position even before God.
So today, we are facing with questions, whether God is great, whether this nature is great or whether this man is great. And if we try to give our answers, the others shall not believe in those answers. That is the reason, the question is still unanswered and people do not know whether God is great, whether this nature is great or whether this man is great who is finding out more and more from this nature, from this universe, from this God and there are chances this man shall attain the status of God one day and then he shall not be having anything in his mind that there is God, there is an institution where this man has to give accounts, there shall be no institutions of Hell and Heaven and this man shall convert this earth and universe as Heaven and there are chances that all the people living on different planets shall reach other and shall be sharing their achievements.
