Philosophy of life - Part 1 - God

I was having these discrete but relevant concepts about life since long but never had the energy and wish to write those down. Finally, when lot of people around me are becoming more and more curious about my ideas I thought why don't you just get some hints. I don't know what I will write in next few paras but I will try to put everything that comes in my mind now.

I believe life is to keep moving. There are lots of roads and other options in the roads but to keep life you need to get moving... always. To be very simple, we need some imbalance to generate and maintain a flow, like electricity flows due to potential difference, water flows due to height difference, like that. So to keep moving we need to set a goal that we have not achieved yet. The point is not to achieve that goal but to go for it with your full capacity. Thats it, rest of the things will be taken care of automatically. There is no "proper" rule to move towards the goal. Its all relative. The rule of moving (like driving) depends on which city/country the road is currently in.

Now this is not what I wanted to write. Currently I am concentrating on the potential energy to move. Some people believe there is a spiritual power that created the entire creation, otherwise it would not exist in the first place. Some people say cause of creation and creator are not proved so there is no one like one having supreme power (God) to create and destroy everything. To be very precise you are not god, are you? If not then you are just like an electron who is bound to move from negative potential to positive without asking any question. If "God" is relevant in any way for that moving I am talking about then here is how:-

There is no God watching our every action and waiting in heaven to judge and punish. You know why? Because you don't see or hear that kind of God, nor even ever heard from anyone who really saw something like that. Even if someone does that is due to some clinical mental disorder. So there is no God because we cannot prove Him or His purpose. Simultaneously this is also true that we cannot answer why there is a creation, why it is running, why everything is obeying laws of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.

Now I found out this is a wrong question, "why". We are not supposed to ask "why", all we can ask is "how" and can get an answer.
Just like we cannot lift our own chair on which we are seated, we cannot know about our own system of life till we are in it. And we cannot go out of this system to understand what life is. Finding mystery of life is a paradox. Why waste time on that question "why life"? And if there is no answer to "why life" there is no reason to find out "why God". Today if you discover that "Pluto" is not a planet revolving around the Sun, it was some mistake of the camera images, will that matter for your day? Will that change the shape of Sun or make the days/nights longer/shorter or hotter/colder or anything at all? No. So whatever there is, its not worth finding out. Human race is 2 million years old. We are still developing equally by believing and not believing in God.

God is not a solution which is solvable by any algorithm. So let us just change the definition of God that bothers you to keep moving in life.
In my philosophy, God is every tiny little destination we set our goal to. If God is the source of all energy then that is the only possible explanation of God. So God does exist. Now happy? Its all about that two magical words, "keep moving". If you cannot live there is no purpose of anything. To live a better life, i.e., to keep moving in our way we choose our own path. Some people believe in God because that gives them strength. They think that a concept of 'somebody always watching' makes them do the right thing (though that concept is unsuccessful many times). Again some people don't believe in God because there is no response if you call Him millions or even billions of times. So asking help to someone never known and not trying on your own is not going to make your work done. Thus thinking about God is unrealistic and illogical. But you see whatever the big jargon is there about someone's own belief there is only one purpose of that. To make their own way smoother.

Concept of God thus need not be the same to all. Its all about keep moving in your own comfortable way, so use your own say to believe in God or not. It DOES NOT MATTER to anyone except you. If you do good in life with God then God is true for you. If you cannot then there is no God for you. What is reality doesn't matter. In fact, to be precise, there is nothing like "reality".

So, questions like "who is bigger, religion or science" is completely a bogus question, not even a question. Thats the only reason why there is no answer.

Om Shanti Shanti Shanti.
