Passage 15

In English

There are today people who affirm that there is no God. But who belonged to this category was confronted by his own son, who asserted even as a child, that God exists and can be experienced. Those who deny God cannot prove that He does not exist, except by their limited reason and logic. The experience of God earned by sages in all ages and all lands cannot be argued away with the help of reason, which can be affected by prejudice, pride and even ill health. There are many truths which are too stable to be dismissed. The magnet attracts iron, three plus three add upto six, a green betel leaf with white lime on it when chewed with a brown nut produces red coloured salsa, a sapling hung with the roots above grows nevertheless upwards as is its wont - these facts cannot be negated at all. The awareness of God, which is the very purpose of human existence, has to happen - however long the time taken, however difficult the process. When the heart is purified and the consciousness is illumined, the task is easy.
