Have you seen God?

 

This is a question that has been asked to a lot of persons who have faith in their god. I read an article long time back of which I do not have the source, but in that article this same very question was asked to a Sadhu by a person who had came to visit him, sadhu confidently said "Yes, I have seen him and I can also show him to you if you wish". That person getting excited in disbelief said, "Ok then, show me this god". Sadhu asked that person to sit in front of him and then started waving his hand in front of his eyes, time passed by but still that person didn't show or felt any presence of god, so getting impatient he shouted back at the sadhu and asked "You have been doing this for past ten minutes now, but still I can't feel or see him, when will I see this god of yours?". To this the sadhu humbly replied, "From the past ten minutes I've been showing you the god and all you could see was my hand".

 

There is a very strong point in this story, initially till sometime back I was too in that group of people who used to ask others this same very question, then I had my day of realization, I was coming back from office, walking towards my home from the bus stop, I don't know how but before this question could appear in my mind an image appeared, where a person is helping an old lady to cross the street, this flash of thought made me feel that god is not what I had been thinking till today, god is not someone that could be found only in some avataars or in any materialistic way but that he is also the ACT, the act that was helping an old lady to cross the road through that gentleman, it also made me to think on the words "To see god in everything and everyone" now I fully realized those words, actually you don't even have to try or practice to see god in everyday life he himself shows his glory all the time, we just don't

realize that. This incident has really broadened my definition of god, which like him is boundless.
