The concept of God and its existence are two different things. More importantly, the concept is independent of God it self and but exists more as a reality. Needless to say its all in the mind.. but isn’t it where it should be?
The Hindu belief of the cosmic spiritual phenomena is the concept of the supreme, that of God. The ultimate faith is human but the profound being is Truth. Any religion is merely to seek this truth. Its a cycle of seeking and believing(what we also call life; so universal it does not matter if it is human or not, if it is matter or not). Like every cycle, it is endless. One may sometimes think, physical entities like space and/or time exist just to define its edges, to form its boundaries.
But if, seeking the truth was religion, what is not! Everyone, from the beggar on the streets to a marijuana stuffed gangster, is seeking the truth?
His Truth.. Yes.
The misery, the pain, the ecstasy are their truth at that moment. Lost so much, in that moment, they often don’t see if this is their truth, or the truth they are looking for.
The point is, if life indeed is a cycle(am getting geometric here 🙂 ), then how would you see the cycle of life as it is, in its full form, specially as long as you are still tied in space and time. Perhaps, this explains the Hindu ideas of ‘Moksha‘ and breaking out of life itself. This, to be free from desire, seeking, good or bad, happy or sad, and just ‘Be’ beyond all that is – at the centre of this cycle or all around it. Be that ultimate conscious that does not reside in the mind and hence does not start or end. This is the Nirvana of Being, the truth herself and hence the supreme – the SHIVA. The Shakti being the human aspect, giving rise to this entire concept of the ultimate in Human.
