God isn't involved in our lives in regard to physically helping us with things. I don't think of God in the traditional sense of helping us with day-to-day things. God created, or could possibly be, the essence of the universe and that is all. We have complete free will and God does not interfere with that.

So you mean to say that the government or some human institution is responsible for the sun rising, the rain falling, the wind and air, etc? Please tell me which government department is doing these things. Or do you think it is going on automatically with no person involved? This is also a ridiculous notion. Within my own experience whenever I see a machine working I know there is a person behind the operation of that machine. You take any machine anywhere and when that machine is working as it should, you can take it for granted that there must be a person who has built the machine and someone who is maintaining it and someone who is operating. it. That is everyone's common experience. So why do you think the operation and maintenance of this cosmic manifestation is just going on automatically with no personal involvement. This would be totally contrary to anyone's experience and completely illogical.
So what things are we capable of doing ourself or collectively as humans? Can we make the rain fall when and where we want? Can we make the sun rise anytime? Can we provide food without the help of the rain or sun? We can make some petty insignificant things that are not very necessary, but the primary necessities of life are under the management of the Supreme Lord, not anyone else. Due to rampant sinful activities in the human society, rainfall may be withheld by the Lord. This material world is under the control of the Supreme Lord because it is His energy. What we are able to do for ourselves is allowed by the Lord, in spite of our ignorant attitude, and our desire to forget Him. Therefore, the Lord is very merciful.

Dear
I don't know what do you mean by god.
But there has to be some power which is above all.
Because the universe is so well planned. Everything you look at is working so well.
People say the universe started with the big bang explosion, but then what was there before big bang.
when the time started and when it will end. Who was there before it all started and who will remain after it will end.
when we find answer to a question, 100s of new questions arise. There seems no end to it.
So there has to be some thing which is above all, which was always there, which will always remain.
whether you call it god or destiny, it depends on you.

"He" (maybe it's "She"?) "exists" only in the imaginations of those that believe in a God. I question, however, why such an array of differences of opinion of just ONE God, if there's but one "true God"? IF he exists, when then would He, being all-powerful (Omnipotent) and all-knowing (omniscient) allow His name to be misrepresented or abused and misused by religious leaders that make a mockery of His name and his Word by causing, promoting, and instigating hate, bigotry, murders, tortures, hunger, genocides, pillaging, rape, etc., in his name? For someone all-knowing and all-powerful, it simply doesn't make much sense.
Why would He tell someone to do something when He can have it done by the wind or Holy Spirit? To see if that person is going to do it...? What about His all-knowing abilities? Or, isn't He capable of knowing what's in someone's heart or doesn't He know the future? Instead of Him telling someone to smite someone else, why doesn't He just cause a lightning bolt to smite the person He wants done in? I fail to see the logic in knowing all, being able to do all and still having mere puny mortals do His bidding... like trained pets? Does He get his jollies off that way... ? Kinda childish, ain't it?
He supposedly knows everything, I thought that included the future. Yet he engages in a contest to prove the Devil wrong (remember Job?)... why does he put a good man though so much grief if he already knows what Job will do, why would He even entertain the Devil for that matter in a contest if He already knows the outcome... is the Devil THAT stupid? Does He need to feed his ego? Does he amuse Himself with the suffering of a good man? Does He REALLY have to test the good man if he already knows that the man will do his bidding? What's going on?

It is not possible to explain my personal experience with God in front of anybody else, since, the language; I used with my God cannot be translated into the language of the world. Its a personal relationship between man and God.
Everything, we are doing by dint of His will. If we try to separate supreme, definitely, our world will be no more in existence. For example, Suppose, we need to separate the electricity, which is the vital power for the functioning of the computer.Is it possible to separate electricity, used for the functioning of the computer, at the same; time keeping the computer alive? As such, I think; existence of God never depend upon our ability to do things ourselves. His existence is ETERNAL.

We misunderstand the meaning of god. We mean HOPE when we say GOD. The creator is different. He is GOD. God wants u 2 live as u wish but not 2 please him by worshipping. He wants u 2 enjoy ur tenure on earth successfully in the fashion u like. He never interferes cos he wanna make his creation independent 2 solve its problems.
Believe in cosmic energy not in the people who declares themselves as gods and whatever good or bad happens is 80% efforts n 20% luck. Never depend on the 20% all alone. Look @ the 80% means urself. If u do U BECOMES GOD.

Wow, what a question! This issue-ignorance-blindness is exactly why we are all here on this earth. We all think we are the controllers and enjoyers, when it is God alone Who is the Controller and Enjoyer and Absolute Truth and Creator of this Cosmic Manifestation. As soon as we remember this, can know love and serve Him and can become worthy of going back Home to Him, we will do the necessary work and purification to remember that all matter, including us are DEPENDENT upon Him! It is our arrogant rascaldom, envy and jealousy of Him that got us all here to begin with!
How do all the planets of this solar system stay in their orbits with intricate predictable patterns? All creations in this cosmos are machines designed by The Creator, including the body-vehicle and story you are riding in this life here on earth. The micro material machines are the subatomic particles, atoms, molecules, organelles and cells. The macroscopic material machines are the cells, tissues, organs, systems, organisms, populations, communities, ecosystems, biospheres-planets, solar systems, galaxies, universes and this cosmos! All of these machines are inside oneanother and within the Cosmic Manifestation which is being created, operated, controlled, destroyed by Him. You are a tiny part and parcel of His, you are an antimatter spark, a spirit soul parcel created in His image. You are same in QUALITY to Him but not in quantity! My dear sir, with a name like you have, how can you not know-remember this? Your name is a gift to you to help you remember and awaken from this terrible illusory dream you are sleeping in! Find out what your name means on the deepest level possible ASAP!

We are capable of doing our own things,right. But if you think it wasn't because of God's intervention and guidance; We won't be able to do half the things we said we would do. I'm not going to quote from the poem, the Footprints.But it wasn't a speech, just a poem.
God has always been with us, giving us that extra strength to carry on. The capacity of humans, including mine, is limited.

We are not always capable of doing our own things. I have seen individuals who need the assistance of another person for going to loo. I have even seen my own mother -in-law unable to even turn from one side to the other in her bed. It required some one elses assistance to turn her. If you are in that condition and conscious you will feel like dieing but death would not come.
Having felt great pity for her my self and my wife prayed sincerely to god to release her from the misery. God listened.
year beore last i was traveling from Varanasi to Nasik .At allahabad station when i had got down from the train for a bottle of water my bag which was in the compartment was stolen.
It had my tickets, identity card, ATM cards suit case keys and an amount of rupees 200/- .I prayed to god and told him let the money go because it might have been needed by the person who stole it but the other things which he cannot use plese give them back to me. The train kept on running. In the morning my friend who was traveling in the adjacent compartment came and informed me that a bag like thing is sticking out from the vestibule shutters. i ran and pulledd it out and found the bag with only the money missing. God is too great to manifest to us Imagine you cannot even meet any VIP in india easily. Many recommendations will be needed. So how do you expect God the almighty should appear before you to prove his identity?
It is great that even with a severeral million universes to look after he still listens to our prayers and answers them.
