Every good person can rightfully question the essential good qualities of a human being when crimes are committed by the same human being in whom the assumptive God is supposed to be omnipresent. This is the reason the poor God bears serious blame for his inaction or total callousness. If this God, all powerful and all good God fails the expectations of his believers He needs to be castigated or totally disregarded. This gives the clue that the premise of an all powerful and all good God some where in the galaxies is a total fallacy and a fable. On the other hand the existence of goodness in every human being is possible if the hidden goodness can be cultivated and discovered. This has been proved by facts that some among us showed extraordinary qualities as a human being through dedication to goodness. We call them sages, sadhus, hrishies, fakirs and prophets. But criteria of a good soul are not limited to these special peoples only. We know very good people in our everyday life as well who are doing sansar but maintained a very high standard of goodness.
As the sages said that God within us is like a piece of hidden diamond waiting to be uncovered. Our efforts to cultivate goodness bring that hiding glow into the open. In that effort what we get is not God but the realization of a supreme goodness. A sense of freedom, a power to see things generously, a power to forgive and love. This does not make us superman or we can play magic, do or undo the impossible. People can call it God or by any other name but that does not bring into existence of an exalted deity. The word God as a separate entity, all powerful, all good, is deeply engraved in the peoples mind it will continue to mesmerize millions for a long time to come. But the reality is taking shape slowly but steadily.

1. The metaphysical or philosophical (not scientific at all) invention that I am He (soh hi ohom) and belief in the same has far reaching practical implications. If every one (any living thing) is potentially He, then the world should be a conflict free heaven. It has not happened in several thousand years.2. "Know thyself" (Aristotle), Jesus' testimony on resurrection "I am He", "Everybody comes from Him and goes back to Him" (a Muslim utters on hearing the death news of another Muslim), and similar utterances by Sufi poets and others from different parts of the world and at different times are closely comparable to "Sohohm".3. Ancient Indian sages (and others too) have philosophically "solved the mystery" in many ways! Solving the mystery is not enough. The major task is to change the world so that there is no discrimination- |
