Here I am!

The entire Human race, except for the outliers, agrees upon the fact that the World is imperfect. What I attempt here is to prove a profound concept of Vedanta using logic (or craze, some may get that feel after reading this post) that makes a world of sense and nonsense simultaneously to different people. The concept of Vedanta in itself is sacrilege and sanctity simultaneously, to different groups of the population. Does this allude to the duality that is inherent in all and has to be comprehended better? I don’t have an answer to that. These are glimpses of thoughts that cross my mind.

Well, here is the proof:

There are 3 actors that I use in my proof: God, Human Race and the World.

If God exists,

The very assumption of existence takes for granted that He is omnipotent. There is no question of a less than complete God.

If Human race is perfect; the world would never have been left this way. The perfect race would have worked at all costs to make this world perfect and who would think of a power over and above the perfect.

If Human race is not perfect; He probably wanted us to realize that we could do what we always thought would be possible only by Him and left the World to be made better by us. Else why would He, who created the whole variety of flora, fauna, Earth, planets et al. leave this simple task behind?


If God does not exist,

If Human race is perfect; the scenario is no different than what was described when He exists.

If Human race is not perfect; Is it not a moral binding on us to make this a better place to live? The world is at our mercy and call. So do as you will, is the rule.

Now, why did I try this at all? I feel the above reasoning suggests that there isn’t a point in discussing if He exists or not. The bottom-line is, if He existed, then He wanted us to realize that we were as powerful as Him and that was because we were Him (or a part of Him, to those who can’t take the “Thou art That’ philosophy) and if He didn’t, we would be the Supreme power.

Both lead to the same conclusion: ‘Tat Vam Asi’.

I know this is a very crude (some may even think this is even foolish) proof, but one that will be refined as I inch towards greater realization.
