THE EXISTENCE OF GOD

Discover Your Helplessness

Creation lies within space and time, while the Creator exists beyond space and time. If the mind is so confined as to be unable to encompass that which lies within space and time, how can it comprehend that which goes beyond the realm of space and time?

SINCE the past five hundred years, the scientific study of the universe has been underway. Numerous great minds have been involved in research and findings related to the universe. The final outcome of these studies has revealed that the cosmos is so vast and expansive that it is near impossible for the human mind to fully encompass it.

The most recent study estimates that human knowledge has been able to fathom only five percent of the universe. With respect to this five percent, a scientist has acknowledged that the more we discover the more we come to understand that even those phenomena we have discovered are yet undiscovered. In other words, it can be said that we are striving to know increasingly about less and less.

Knowledge of creation is equivalent to knowledge of the Creator. However, experience shows that humans have been able to discern only a meagre five percent of the creation of this Creator. In this scenario, for a person to demand that he be provided absolute knowledge of the Creator is undoubtedly unscientific. If humans have not been able to acquire thorough knowledge of creation, how can they have conclusive knowledge about the Creator?

Creation lies within space and time, while the Creator exists beyond space and time. If the mind is so confined as to be unable to encompass that which lies within space and time, how can it comprehend that which goes beyond the realm of space and time?

The truth is that in this world a person can discover God only at the level of his helplessness and not at the level of absolute knowledge.
