Does God Exist!

A smart kid was once being interviewed by the principle of a school. When some questions were thrown at the kid, who answered all of them to the best of his ability, the principle suddenly asked, “Do you believe in God?” “Yes”, said the kid, “do you?” Negative was the principle’s reply. “I am a learned and sophisticated man of the 21rst century. I don’t believe in all such rubbish things. I have faith in only with what I see.” Suddenly the kid asked, “Have you seen your great grand-parents, Sir?” The principle remained spell bound upon hearing this, because he knew the intention of the kid’s question.
Many of us, humans, too behave like this principal, straightforwardly refusing His very own existence. He doesn’t deny ours but we do. A human eye can’t see scores of things in this world, in this universe. Does it then so mean, that they never exist? Let’s consider a very basic example of air. Let alone while awake, we breathe even in our sleep. Who keeps this function going for us? Its not only humans that breathe air. But there are all the species of various birds, animals, insects and even trees and all the innumerable other living beings that breathe air. None of us, however, have seen what air is like. But all have unanimously agreed to this one universal truth. Not only that, He has brought this lifesaving air right up to our nose. We don’t need to go and fetch it from anywhere else. How much more should He serve us? No scientist has still been able to pinpoint that yes, this is what a soul is; it looks like this etc. The Gita says soul is immortal. And we humans’ leap is only up to this mortal and materialistic world. We can only feel this mortal body, but not the immortal soul that resides in all of us. So does it mean that soul doesn’t exist at all? Like air and soul - electricity, fragrance can all be experienced, but not felt physically. Has anyone denied the fragrance in a sweet-looking rose? Where has it come from? Sweet and bitter tasting vegetables grow in the same earth. How come then one is sweet while the other is sour to taste? The stars, the planets, the asterim and all the other celestial beings in this universe are revolving in their orbits for lacs of years now. Who is controlling their pace? Who has held them up from falling down? The temperature of the Sun has not declined even an iota. The seasons have been doing their rounds untiringly. Who is responsible to keep things intact? No doubt, He must be the one who has created all this and under whose authority all remain. In this world other than humans, there are scores of other living beings and still different are the animals in those species. The flora in this universe is varied and no two species are the same in terms of looks or characteristics. In a certain earthquake hundreds of people get buried under the debris, but a small kid is saved miraculously. Each morning and every night, we get awake and go to bed at a certain time. Which power guides us to do this? Each year at a specific time birds migrate to specific locations. And at the end of the season they return without losing their way. How do they find their way back from thousands of kilometers? Who tells them it’s time to migrate? Who shows them the way? Who tells them where to stop? Who tells them to return? Scientists too are bamboozled by these activities. But they could still not come up with satisfactory answers. Are all these examples not enough to conclude that it’s He who exists?
