As an observer I feel we are these pockets of energy moving around the Universe and as physics puts it, energy can neither be created nor destroyed it can only be transferred from one form to another. Keeping that notion in mind I don't believe in the concept of God that created the Universe. It is just Man who has created this concept because he needed a start and an end to a story. Very mechanical, I must say. Just like when we draw a circle on paper we start at a reference point and end at a point, but that was needed because we needed to draw a circle. When we look at the circle from afar we see that the start and end point have dissolved and all that remains is the circle that goes round and round with no end and no start. So then how do we conclude who created the Universe and who will destroy it? With no start and no end, this circle is just like energy being transferred from one being to another to do work, to keep the cycle moving round and round to infinity. So is the concept of the Universe being God's creation just a way to adjust our lives in this finite world we have created for ourselves and if that is not the case then what is the actual Truth?
When I observe Nature I find order in chaos. There are no perfect shapes and sizes, there are no set of rules and orders written down and most importantly there is no authority. But even then Nature follows the day to day chores very precisely. There is nobody to tell the sun when to rise and set, there is nobody to tell the ant where he needs to build his house. For the lion killing the deer, the caterpillar turning into a butterfly or for the bees picking up nectar from the flowers is all Truth. The workings move round and round in circles just like we drew on the paper but this time there is no reference point. No start and end and no mechanical nature but still there is form, structure and more importantly order. This is their basic Nature and it forms the Ultimate Truth.
Humans too are part of Nature and are also very much part of this order in chaos. From time and again Man has given into and bred emotions such as fear, insecurities, anger, hatred and jealousy that it has shifted away from its true Nature. With its conscious mind Man wants to achieve power and with power comes fear and with fear comes violence. Man has created the concept of authority to rule over him, breeding more fear and more violence. It has come to spoon feed himself on knowing what the Truth is and is trying to find order in order. Order in order is like taking a ruler and pencil and trying to draw a perfect rectangle, or a square, or a triangle but, you will never achieve that perfection because, there is no such thing as a perfect shape. It is like a magnet when like poles repel. The mind is so attached to this superficial, materialistic, artificial maze that we need a guiding force to show us the way. But can somebody tell us what to do or not to? Is there anybody as God to show us the way? If we were left all alone in that maze then do we have the power to find our way out? If Nature can do it then so can we if we consider ourselves as part of Nature.
With time we have distanced ourselves so much from the basics that now we think from top to bottom and not from bottom to top. But there is hope that one day Man will let go of superficiality and look inside out and not outside in.
