FROM MAULANA’S DESK

created man with such distinctive faculties. Just as man is superior to all the creation of the universe, so is God a superior being as compared to man. If man were to reflect on the difference between him and the rest of the universe, he would be able to comprehend the difference between God and himself. God is the ultimate form of this superiority which man experiences over the rest of the universe. To understand God is as simple a matter as understanding oneself. The truth is that to believe in God is to believe in something in which we already believe. To see God is to see something which is already there for us to see. An intensification of what man is experiencing every moment is belief in God. The human being is not the ’full-stop‘ in this universe. When a higher state of existence is present in the form of man, then why should the existence of another higher state in the form of God not be a possibility? o Maulana Wahiduddin Khan editor@thespiritofislam.org Follow Maulana at http://www.speakingtree.in (The Times of India)
