Voice of Nature

VOICE OF NATURE God is the voice of human nature. In normal circumstances, this voice remains hidden. But when some sensitive or delicate moment arrives in a person’s life, it is often awakened. There are innumerable historical examples from which it is clear that no person is devoid of this aspect. Gina Lollobrigida (1927-2023) was an Italian film star. In 1975, she came to India. At a press conference, in response to whether she believed in God, she said, “I believe in God, I believe in God, more when I am on an aeroplane.” When a person travels in an aeroplane, he is entirely at the mercy of external factors. If there is even a minor fluctuation in the balance of these factors, it might be enough to lead to his death. The same helplessness man faces while on a sea voyage. The Quran says: “Have you not seen how the ships sail on the sea by God’s grace so that He may show you some of His signs? Surely, therein are signs for every steadfast, thankful person. When the waves engulf them like shadows [of death], they call to God, sincere [at that moment] in their faith in Him alone, but as soon as He has brought them safe ashore, only some of them take the right course. And none denies Our signs save the perfidious and ungrateful person.” (31:31-32) No matter how haughty and insolent a person who denies God may be, he uncontrollably cries out to God when he faces harsh conditions. This is proof of the fact that God is the voice of human nature.
