Man asks questions and seeks answers to them. They discover and gather useful knowledge only through this process. They discover Truth in this way and later on discover that the Truth they discovered was either not the Truth or not the whole Truth. They are in continuous pusuit of getting to the Ultimate whole Truth. They discover and find proof of the existence of Gita's God in the same way.
The following is one possible way how Gita's God was discovered by Man:
1. Where can God be seen?
You cannot see God with your eyes. God being infinite, you cannot photograph him within the frame of any camera either. You could get sense of some picture of the God when you can take a picture of the entire Universe: however you would still not get the full picture of God as there exists things like knowledge, feelings, concepts that have no images to be captured in a film..
2. Who has seen Him?
No one has seen HIM. He is not an object to see.
3. How is He? Can we describe Him?
He is incomprehensible, unknowable, infinite, ceaseless, unperturbed, always working, desire-less, ego-free, anger-free, unattached, not limited by physical dimensions and beyond gender classification (use of He is equally good as use of She or It when referring to God)
4. If I don't know how eaxctly God is, how do I accept HIM?
I accepted my Mother even before I knew that she was my Mother and what exactly was she. I do this. So, what is the problem with accepting God.
I accept the impact of recession on me but I have neither seen nor known recession clearly.As a human being, I do not see many things and concepts, I do not comprehend them. But still I accept them if I find that useful to my life. If concept of God is useful to me, I can accept it if so choose. If not I need not accept. It does not matter to the existence of God.
5. Has the term / concept of God been coined by to put moral chains to so
that people practice goodness?
The concept of God arose much before the concept of morality evolved. Therefore, God is unperturbed by goodness or evil. Rather, He is the creator/ source of all good and evil. By definition therefore God has caused man to coin the term/ concept of God. It was no man's independent decision to coin the term.
6. What is the basis to presume that God exists?
The basis of presuming God's existence is the assumption that anything that exists must have a source. Tracing back chronologically in time, one tries to reach the ultimate source of anything and all things in the Creation. But the efforts to go back is an infinite and end-less process. If one assumes that one has reached the end of the process, one has still to seek the source of that end-point. So, one assumes the existence of the Ultimate source even if that remains unidentified. It follows that this ultimate source has always been there. This may be named God. God therefore is in existence since Man assumes that there exists an Ultimate source / cause of the entire Creation. Big Bang is not the source as there must have been a source of the Big Bang.
7. Why then it is said that God exists everywhere and in every thing? Then God must be seen every where and in every thing.
