It is rare to find a person who has not been asked this question at least once. All of us have faced this question at some point in our lives.
Answers to this are given by various priests, religious people, and sages according to their understandings, but a complete explanation is still fruitless.
We cannot see the workings of electricity. Similarly, we who can see the actions of living beings cannot see that life.
The understanding of God is almost at this level. Osho describes this movement as sleep in inanimate objects and consciousness in animate objects.
That is what all the enlightened sages say seek God within yourself. A German scientist named Heisenberg's theory of instability can partially explain these states of cosmic motion.
He says that the basic elements in every atom are sometimes matter and sometimes waves, sometimes matter and waves and sometimes nothingness.
Each atom represents the state of God. And so is God's impermanence. Osho says that this is what confuses man.
Aathikas and yogis receive that divine energy in waves through bhakti or meditation. Buddha realized its emptiness.
Atheists are entangled in its materiality and immateriality and do not know what conclusion to reach. It is impossible to try to bring divine energy into a definition.
Even scientists who claim that research into the body's DNA has brought us closer to God are dismayed to learn that it can change its imprints repeatedly, unable to fully pin it down.
Not only our body but also our thoughts are not static. If change is the only constant, then so is the state of God.
Because God cannot be defined by time. He belongs neither to the past nor to the future. We can only perceive him as an event that is happening only in the present.
That is the source of this instability. We also need to be in the present to know Him. When we observe our breath in meditation, we could live in the present and experience the divine and experience at least a little of the universal truth.
