Guest guest Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 At one time, Hiranyakasapa of our tradition was moving about with great pride saying that he was the only God and that he was all powerful. Even such a Hiranyakasapa had the need for God on one occasion. Are these proud people of today who proclaim that there is no need for God, cleverer or stronger than Hiranyakasapa? If with all his physical and mental strength, he had the need for a God, these proud people will certainly need the help of God and will one day recognise this. God exists in everyone and therefore to say that God does not exist is to show one's own lame hand and say that he himself does not exist. To say that God does not exist is as ridiculous as saying that he has been born to a barren woman. To argue that there is no God is as bad as insisting that the one that is arguing cannot speak. All these are meaningless words intended to make up meaningless arguments. - From Swami's Divine Summer Course Discourses in May 1974. Om Sai Ram The INTERNET now has a personality. YOURS!
