The God Principle

What does it mean to believe in something? How can you prove your belief? Every day and practically every minute of our existence we take someones word for something. We read the newspaper and we believe that the writers are telling us factual information, we go to the doctor and we believe that his advice is going to make us better, we learn from our mother who our father is. But were we there when our parents conceived us? Do we know that the writer of the article checked all his facts. Are we certain that the Doctor's prescription is going to make us more healthy? We don't know, but we are forced to take someones word for it. 

We are always forced to submit to some authority for our information. And in every case there is always some kind of authority and in every case there is some person that we are forced to submit to. This is called "The God Principle"; everyone MUST submit to some person. 

If a criminal is caught by a police officer, at that moment in time the Police officer is "GOD" to the criminal. The criminal MUST submit either by force or by voluntary submission. If a citizen breaks the law, he can not say "I don't believe in this country so you can not take me to jail". No, he must submit to the law enforcement person. He must submit to his God. And of coarse the law enforcement man must submit to his God, the Chief of police. The Chief of police must submit to his God: the Mayor. The Mayor submits to  the people who elected him. The military submit to the President and the President submits to his wife or his kids. When a man's wife wants more jewelry, at that moment she is "GOD" to her man as he submits to getting the money together to pay for her jewelry. When we go to school, the teacher is "GOD" to the students. This principle of God can not be avoided. 

It is an undeniable fact, there is a God in every case, in every circumstance. We are spiritual entities in a material world. We manipulate matter and rearrange it. We are Gods in every sense. But the intelligent person will try to find out who is the Supreme Person? Who is the Supreme God? 

It is stated in the Vedic literature that the one who possesses 6 qualities in full: 1) Fame, 2) wealth, 3) knowledge, 4) beauty, 5) renunciation, and 6) all strength, that person is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. If we look for that person and find him, he is God. 

As material manipulators, we find that there are laws that we are governed by: Natures Laws. Everyone must be subjected to the natural law of birth, every person is born. Everyone must be subjected to getting diseased, every person has some sort of disease through out their life. Everyone must be subjected to old age, every person must get old. And lastly, every person must meet death. These laws of Nature are being run by the Supreme Person, just like the American Government is being run by one man: the Supreme American. Do we see the Supreme American in person? 

Ninety-nine percent of the American citizens have never seen their president except in moving pictures on TV.  Does he really exist? We believe he does because someone told us that he really is the President and they experienced him in person.  Everything is created by some person, there is not one example in the Universe where one can say that this was not created by some person. From the automobile, the phone, the airplane, the factory, the government; all these were created and thought up by one person. But in most cases we never actually saw the person who created it or even watched them create it, we just took someone's word for it.
