God is omnipresent. The discussion i hav given below would clear ur doubt.
AN INTERESTING CONVERSATION
An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the
problem science has with God, the Almighty.
He asks one of his new students to stand and .....
Prof: So you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Prof: Is God good?
Student: Sure.
Prof: Is God all-powerful?
Student: Yes.
Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to
heal
him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God
didn't. How
is this God good then? Hmm?
(Student is silent.)
Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fellow.
Is
God good?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Is Satan good?
Student: No.
Prof: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From...God...
Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything.
Correct?
Student: Yes.
Prof: So who created evil?
Student does not answer.
Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these
terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Student: Yes, sir.
Prof: So, who created them?
Student has no answer.
Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and
observe
the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God?
Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
Student: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.
Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol,
science
says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.
Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.
Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof: Yes.
Student: And is there such a thing as cold?
Prof: Yes.
Student: No sir. There isn't.
(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat,
mega
heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have
anything
called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat,
but we
can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold.
Cold is
only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot
measure
cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just
the absence
of it.
(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)
Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as
darkness?
Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?
Student: You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of
something.
You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing
light....But if
you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it's called
darkness,
isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able
to make
darkness darker, wouldn't you?
Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue
there
is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are
viewing
the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure.
Sir,
science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and
magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either
one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the
fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not
the opposite of life: just the absence of it.
Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved
from a monkey?
Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process,
yes, of
course, I do.
Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize
where
the argument is going.)
Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at
work
and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavour,
are you not
teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class is in uproar.)
Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the
Professor's
brain?
(The class breaks out into laughter.)
Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's
brain,
felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So,
according
to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable
protocol,
science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect,
sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face
unfathomable.)
Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.
Student: That is it sir... The link between man & GOD is FAITH.
That is
all that keeps things moving & alive.
WANT TO KNOW WHO THAT STUDENT WAS
.
NB: I believe you have enjoyed the conversation...... this is a
true story, and
the student was none other than.......
Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, the present president of India .

God,as most has understood is You,Yourself.In Upanishads it is described as Brahman or Atman and that"That Thou Art(Thath Thvam asi)"
This theology is indeed proving to be the most accepted concept(Advaitha) because it is universal.It is beyond all religions and even applicable to all creations we see.
In the absence of Brahman(God in otherwords)nothing exists.He is the One Witness before Big Bang ,after bigbang and will be the One&Only witness in future too.
He is a catalyst and we,our body,undergoes changes but not Him.
If we apply this theology and look at the universe we will find it is indeed True!That is God you may call or Atman or BRahman or supreme witness whatever you like but He is One-Purest of the Pure and that is Truth.
Truth cannot be more than One!

You must find god on your own. I believe that's what god is all about. God for me is like Fettucini Alfredo. You might be deeper or just not as quick as me... But I know I cannot say "Fettucini Alfredo is god" and be right so that is the mystery of god. God's A in one instance but B in another, is all about finding (or specifically not finding) (cruel world) the right answer.

I would hope in the discard drawer, like any outdated idea. For me it's simply one of the host of assumptions and superstitions that can get in the way of seeing, appreciating, and acting appropriately in the wonderful world. Spirituality is a matter of feeling connected and engaged with everything outside yourself - and it all happens in the mind. It's a wilderness few have courage (or faith?) enough to explore. Illusions become delusions when we believe in them. That way danger and insanity lie. By the way, belief makes assumptions and proposes expectations. Faith is entirely different - it has neither assumptions nor expectations. It requires courage. Belief is a walking stick for the insecure. As The Archbishop of Canterbury Fisher told me once, some need it. That doesn't make it true.

- Where is God?
Nearest, if you believe.
- Any one tell me how to find God.
If you think you can, you will, the path is Messanger of God, Friend of God (The Guide). If you havnt find your God, look for the Guide who is deignated by the God, you will find the God.
He who realise his soul, he realised his God.

Just ask urself, y r u here and will u b able to resist death?
If not, then y?
The common sense shows u a dead end, science starts nail biting, astrology struggles with gems, finally the unsolved question is given a name : GOD.

It is ridiculously simple, really.......
All you have to do actually ask *God himself* how you can find him.
Don't expect God to answer right away, though. God will answer on his own terms, like he always does. He may want you to show that you are really serious about getting to know him, but trust me, he's there, and he is listening.
But if you really, truly want to know, you may be surprised how willing God is to answer your questions.
That's how God works; you ask him what you *want*, and he gives you what you *need* (.....with a nod to the Rolling Stones)
Good luck....

Here, there and everywhere, in our mind, in our existence and in this cosmos. We have to turn inward to find God, look within ourselves, trying to figure out who we really are, what is our essence.
