Irrespective of whether God exists or not and what form does God takes, God-seeking programs are self-serving programs in most human beings. Some people hate to believe in doing things that have no scientific basis. Some people love to do things that make them feel better. Some play cricket because they feel better: some peope just love cricketrs playig cricket because they feel better during that time. Some people go on top of mountain peaks at great pains to see the Sun set or rise because they feel better although they know the phenomenon is the result of the earth's revoultion.
Some persos listen to music to feel better. Some people just sing to themselves to feel better. Some compose poetry and feel better. Some people indulge in day dreaming to feel better. Desiring God is a similar activty. Most people desire God because they feel better when they do so. God-seeking programs in human toys are internally consistent: the program makes a human being to feel better and helps the program to run efficiently than otherwise. People pray and worship God to feel better; they discuss about God because they feel better by doing so. The more a God-seeking program human toy is under stress and strain, the more it gets relief by desiring God. They do not orry whether God exists or not: they just believe in God and dvelop faith and devotion on what thay have not found proof of existence.
God seeking may seem to be a kind of addiction or blind faith supersition. It is just similar to people believng in the power of the national army to defeat the army of the eemy natin's army. It is hust like the blind faith that revolution led by the Communists will soon end the oppression of the poor by the rich. It is just like the supersitions that the Government is powerful enough to eradicate economic recesion, unemployment and inflation. It is just like the small chld's belief that its father is the most powerful in the World. It is just like the scientists' dream that one day human beings can destroy and recreate the Universe.
Irrespective what notion a human toy has about God, the desire to be with or without God - however superstitous or scientific - is an integral elment of the software progrm that runs the human toys. By praying to God, some human toys get peace of mind. By praying to God, some people get confidence in themselves. By singing prayers, some peole enjoy both peace and happiness. Concentrating on God helps some to forget all worries and problems. Some people come out of fear by desiring God to protect them. Some love god to enjoy the plasure of loving one who does not reject love or want some gift of love. It is so simple to Trust God because one knows that God will reveal your secrets to others. When one feels bad because one has done something one would not have liked to do, one finds relief in seeking pardon of God. Seeking God helps one to forget failure in discharging responsibilities assumed by one. It is so simple to derive benefits out of God-seeking. Human toys software therefore often has this God-seeking element to enable other parts of the software to remain active. And, because of its prevalence, God-seeking it appears to be the most popular concept in human beings. If God really existed and asked for rating, God would have recived overwhelmingly dominating rating. Just try taking a few repeated large sample surveys asking people to rate, on an unanynomous basis, God and many other popular things in the world including sex, nation, soccer, any government on a 10-point scale. God's popularity can be measured empirically.
It may look surprising that a concept over which there is no agreement, something whose existence has not yet been scientifically established is so popular. But, it would not remain a surprise if this God-seeking program is the most widely found element in human software.
Most people seek God because God-seeking guna is the most common genetic inheritance. Yet, getting God seems to be the rarest of events among human being. To realize God all the time as an infinite, ceaseless source of all things in creation, as something inherent in each infinitsimal part of the creation, and as both both contained in and container of creation is perhaphs beyond the sensual and mental capability of human toys. The probabilty of this part of the human toy software getting activated appears to be as close to close zero as possible. Gita says that this realization is the ultimate objective worthy seeking. The method is Yoga, something almost impossible to practice with perfection.
All god-seeking is desirable but the best is when that ends in becoming unceasing, infinte, ego-less desire-free, action-less, unperturbed existentence of equanimity.
