Who is God, what does he do, and why does he exist. God has been an integral part of our lives since ancient times. God is a concept that has been discussed and debated for centuries. It is a subject of great interest to many people from all walks of life. There are many different beliefs about who or what God is and where God stays.
Some belief in one all-powerful God while others believe in multiple gods or goddesses. Some believe that God exists outside of our physical world while others believe that he lives within us. No matter what your beliefs are, it is important to understand the concept of 'God' In this article, we will explore these questions to understand more about God and his presence in our lives with a short God Story.
Identity of god
We are all in search of God. We all want to know who is God. Where is God?
Does God exist? Is there any god?
Where does God live in this big universe?
What is God?
Creator of this universe? Ruler of the world? Is it divine? or God, life, or hope? love? or the truth?
What is God after all? Many such questions must be coming into everyone's mind.
Everyone is looking for God? Everyone wants to know God?
Is he omniscient who lives in heaven, and rules this world? If he is the doer then why doesn't he put an end to natural calamities, disease, poverty, suffering, injustice, violence, and sorrows. Why does he make one person sleep on the footpath and the other in the palace?
The reality is that God did not create this world. Now the question comes so is there God? the answer is Yes, God resides in all living beings, If there is a god, is he visible to the eyes or not! So now the question arises, 'Who is God?' And 'How can we realize God?'

Who is God
Everyone believes in God but does not know, the one who knows does not believe. Because to believe is hypocrisy and to know is salvation. The word God can be spoken, that is, it has come in form, therefore God is unreal, that is, imagination. What is being imagined is the truth, not every particle. Every particle is your armor which keeps breaking and joining. Because of living in the armor of this supreme Soul, you are called a creature.
God = group of 5 elements from which all this universe, moon, sun, and body i.e. everything is made. Thus he is in every particle.
This means "God" you can say everything as you think you will see in the same form. You can also call it "mind" which is formless, it is not visible to anyone and this God is also corporeal in a body or inert form.
For most of us, the image of God naturally develops in our minds from the time we are young and generally the religion that our families follow since then. As a result, we believe in 'God', accept him and respect him. All those whom we call Lord, Lord Mahavira, Lord Rama, Lord Krishna, Lord Shiva, etc. were ordinary human beings, who is accepted and worshiped as God later in their life.
This means that God is not a name but a common adjective that is given to describe those who have finished all their karma. He has lived such an ideal and exemplary life that even after thousands of years, people still take inspiration from his life. When they were alive, these great men did not create separate religions, sects, or rituals to follow, nor did they call themselves God. He realized God and made people realize God. They taught the world that: God is nothing but our real self. God is within each of us as pure souls, indivisible.
As long as you have ignorance of 'who am I' and from that ignorance, you believe that 'I am this body, till then you are an ordinary creature; And when you realize that 'I am not the body or the name given to the body; I am only a pure soul' Then You are the Lord Himself. Because the living body is made of elements and merges back into God/elements.
Who is the God of all of us?
Whom you believe God is in faith. He is everywhere. He is in every form, we get the same form in which we see. Hindu religion considers the creation as it's divine or God, therefore in our Hindu religion, there is the highest number of deities, hence worships idols.
God is a belief till infinity where the human body cannot see but feel its existence due to the working of nature around us. The sun never rises even a millisecond late, there is something above all that is controlling the universe and nature. that's god
What does the Supreme Lord, the Pure Soul, look like?
It cannot be seen, felt, or understood by any of our five senses, it can only be felt and it can be experienced because of its inherent qualities. The soul has infinite qualities and this is the definition of God.
Therefore, the Lord is of infinite knowledge.
have an infinite vision.
is the ultimate truth.
is pure love.
The Lord is unaffected by any sorrow or happiness. God is the abode of infinite happiness. The soul of every living person is perfect in every way in the living person it lives within. He is completely independent of his inner thoughts or outer actions.
Like oil and water never mix, similarly, the soul and the body (in which the soul resides) never meet. We are unaware of its existence and cannot experience its glorious qualities, because it is covered by the eternal veil of ignorance. These infinite veils of ignorance can be broken only after self-realization.
This is the moment when you stop binding your karmas and start fulfilling all your past karmas. When all these karmas are finished then the pure soul becomes fully awakened and what remains is the Supreme Lord.
The status and prestige of God are given to such a wise man in whom the inherent qualities of the soul are fully manifested. Thus, God is not a name, but an adjective that describes these types of enlightened people. We worship this wise man as the manifested God because we too want to be like him one day.
Where Does God Live
Wherever God is present, there is growth and there is realization. The Lord resides in all living entities as Shakti (Power), and in the presence of this Shakti (Power), every living being moves forward.
For example, if we soak grains in a wet cloth, they will rise, isn't it? but, If we keep a stone soaked in a wet cloth for years, will it grow? No. Things that do not have God within them can never grow, nor can they ever feel anything.
Conclusion
Now that we know that God is within every living being, how can we see God? All our life, we keep looking for God outside, but in reality, God needs to be felt inside. Through physical eyes, we can see temporary and transitory things on the outside. God has no Body.
The body is just an outer shell. It could be a mango tree, a human being, or any other living being, and it could one day rot or explode. Whereas God resides as the pure element indestructible who resides equally in all.
This eternal element is our real identity! This eternal element is our real identity! This inner element is itself. He himself is a pure soul. And that pure soul is the Supreme Soul!
A short story about god with a moral lesson
What is God?
A man was out on a journey. In the middle of the way, he had to cross an old, broken wooden bridge over a river. There was no other way out.
The chances of crossing the bridge without accident were less, and the flow of the river was too strong
He tried twice, daring to take a few steps forward, but the raging current, the wind trembling, and the bridge broken in places forced him to turn back.
He started trembling with fear and panic and lost all hope of crossing the bridge.
It was getting dark, crossing the bridge was getting more difficult with every passing moment and the danger of wild animals was increasing.
Suddenly he saw a small temple-like structure at some distance. He ran there.
Inside that small structure was a small idol made of stone.
Something was written below the idol- "Cross the bridge only after taking the blessings of Lord Vishalashi, he will guide you and will not let any accident happen"
He saw a ray of hope and prayed to Lord Vishalashi.
Surprisingly, new energy and confidence came to him immediately.
He ran towards the bridge and within a few minutes crossed it.
All the obstacles, the darkness, the strong winds, the broken path, the strong current, nothing could stop him.
After getting off the bridge, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He could not see God but felt his presence.
Coming down, he saw another structure similar to the previous temple.
He immediately went there to thank the Lord.
The structure had almost the same idol, and the same thing was written under it.
He was thanking Lord Vishalashi when an old man came there.
He smiled and said - "My child, what are you doing?"
The man replied- "I am thanking Lord Vishalashi who made me cross the river".
That old man started laughing and said- "There is no god named Vishalashi, I have built these two temples so that people get the strength to cross the river".
The man scratched his head, and looked at the bridge, the thought of stepping on it made his whole body shudder.
He thanked the old man and headed towards his destination.
Lord Vishalashi is not just a statue made of stone, He is the power present in each of us, hidden in a corner of our hearts waiting to be unlocked with the key of faith and hope.
Moral of the Story - what is God?
God is an assurance that whenever you fall in life there will always be a hand to pick you up or that hand may not let you fall at all.
Just the feeling that a hand is always with you is more important than the presence of the actual hand.
This assurance is strengthened by faith in God and instills immense hope and courage in you, and also creates a flow of positive energy inside your body that helps you deal with the miseries of life with confidence and conviction. It remains that you are not alone.
