1-Where Does God Live?
The following story
about the dialog between the God and His Angles (Nature) may help us to
find God.
A legend goes like this that once God thought that if He lived somewhere
else, very far from the people, how His people would find Him? So He
thought to hide Himself inside His creations, so that His people could
find Him soon or maybe the soonest whenever they want to see Him, but
still after some efforts. What might be the best way to do so? To get some
ideas He called His assistants - the Angels, and asked them to suggest
some way to hide among His creations. He said to the Angels gathered
around him - "I want to hide myself in my Creation. I need to find a place
that is not very easy to be found, at the same the it should be the
easiest to be found too, so that in their search, the human can first
develop spiritually and wisdom, and then see Me quickly."
"Why don't you hide deep in the earth?" suggested first Angel after
thinking for a while. God also contemplated for a while then answered -
"No, That is not such a good idea. It wouldn't take so much time for them
to know how to mine and dig up all the treasures hidden inside the earth,
and they'll find me in a flash. They'd have no time to grow by then."
"Why don't you hide in the Moon?" advised the second Angel. God thought of
this idea too for some moments then said - "No, It may take them quite a
little while, but it wouldn't be long enough before they'll figure out
ways to fly to the outer space. They'll land on the Moon, explore all its
secrets, and in the end would be able to find me in too short time.
They'll have not enough time yet to develop."
The Angels have ran out of idea about the good hiding places so they were
silent for quite some time. "I know!", rejoiced one of his last Angels.
"Why don't you hide inside their heart? They would never thought of
searching you there."
"Truly correct!" God said. God was pleasantly happy with the idea. Since
then God hid Himself in the heart of each of His Creation. Until the time
comes for His creations to undergo their spiritual development so as to be
ready to embark on their own perilous journey in their search of God, to
be united as one again with the Creator once and for all. |
