P. 332
God – A Source of Conviction
one who supports us in the journey across the river of
life and brings us to the other shore. Faith in God is
everything for man. Without this conviction, man is
nothing.
All of us experience in our daily lives something of
the utter helplessness that one experiences on seeing
the enormous cosmos through a powerful telescope.
Every person repeatedly faces experiences that force him
or her to become a victim of limitations. For instance,
we do not always get what we want. We often find
ourselves in situations where we feel totally helpless.
We all experience fear of loss, sickness, injury, old age
and death. All of these give us a feeling that we are
dependent on some superior force, and that without
the help of this superior power we cannot succeed in
any way. This feeling can be said to be a psychological
proof of God’s existence.
Every person definitely experiences this feeling. Every
one of us finds within our own selves indisputable
evidence for God’s existence.
The inner being or nature of every person tells him
or her, “You need God. Without God, your life cannot
be complete. Without God, you cannot succeed.”
