Guest guest Posted September 8, 2002 Report Share Posted September 8, 2002 Stories are sometimes better at offering deeper insights into spiritual teachings. Where is God? =========== One rationalist, with a strong atheistic bias, to make his point in no uncertain terms prepared lots of boards with the writing: " God is nowhere " and hung these boards all round his house. His little son, who was mastering his writing skills decided to make boards of his own. As he was still learning the skills he made a mistake in the spacing of the words and produced lots of boards which instead of reading: " God is nowhere " read " God is now here " Just one misplaced letter changed the whole emphasis. Minor technicality can make such a difference! Either we see nothing very special around us, let alone perceive a God. Or else we see 'all this' to be very special, full of meaning and as nothing but God. Vedanta asks us to make this technical transition.
