GOD: A SOURCE OF CONVICTION

situations arise in our lives that compel us to feel completely helpless. In addition to this, fear of loss, sickness, accidents, old age and death tell us that we are utterly dependent on a force that is infinitely greater than us, and that without the help of this infinitely superior power, we simply cannot succeed. This feeling or realization is a psychological proof of God’s existence. Every person necessarily encounters this psychological experience. Every person finds within a firm proof of God’s existence. For each one of us, our nature is continuously calling out to us, telling us that we need God, that without God, our life cannot be complete, and that without God’s help, we can never be truly successful. o In this vast universe, it is God who is man’s support. It is He alone who can help us cross this river of life and lead us to the other shore. A Good Human Being What does it mean to be a good human being? It means to begin to live on the divine plane, to cultivate divine attributes within oneself. For this, one has to fight with the evil inclinations inside oneself. It calls for working throughout the life to keep away from negative influences. This is a path of continuous sacrifice. One needs to cleanse one's mind of all false ideas and beliefs. One must engage in an íntellectual operation, no matter what the cost, even if it demands that one has to give up one's wrong beliefs that one may deeply cherish.
