Is There A God or Not?

This is a pointless debate as it’s a personal issue. No one should impose their views on to others – and criticising those who believe/don’t believe is futile. What matters is how we feel about this topic, and how it affects our life.

Even if the Buddha said is there a God or there isn’t,
it all depends on an individual’s level of understanding.

Some like a fixed concept to see them through life, either believing or not believing. Some feel that God is something within us all. Some will ask, “What is it that is within us all?”

Personally, I see that it is awareness that is within all sentient beings; on investigation through meditation, we realise that this clarity of awareness is pure awareness, pure consciousness. There is nothing to discuss.

If we want to call that ‘God’ or ‘Brahma’, okay. The point is, does our conclusion express itself in kindness towards others? Or does it make us partisan zealots?

Whatever we feel, it’s up to us, and no one else. Belief doesn’t define what we are; it is something we have acquired. Merely following others is a dangerous affair as we lose our authority and authenticity.

Our cat worships a paper bag; it makes him happy.
He doesn’t ask anyone to worship it with him.
