How The God Looks Like?

In order to describe how the God looks like, I need to see Him first. And to see Him I need to know where He can be found.

I approached an old friend of mine who is well known for his religious manners. He said, “God is all around you. He is on your left and on your right, above you and below you, inside you and outside you. He is everywhere. There is no place on earth where you can’t find him”.

His answer is not a realistic one yet I decided to follow. I can see all around me is air, below me is soil and inside me is flesh, bones, blood and other fluids. If I look at a distance I find trees, mountains, river, animal and many other things. If God is around me then it must be present in each and everything around me.

Air consists of oxygen, nitrogen and other gases. These are called elements in chemistry. There are more than hundred elements discovered till now. Any substance we come across is the combination of two or more elements in certain ratio. Air is the combination of elements, so does the soil and other things.

Now, every element is composed of tiny particles called atom. Every atom further contains electron, proton and neutrons. The Atom of one element differs from atoms of other elements. But electron (or protons) of any element have same mass and have similar characteristic and behavior.

It is the number (or the quantity) of electron or proton present in atom which decides which element it belongs to. Usually it is called atomic number. So, electron and protons are everywhere and it constitutes everything.

My friend also said, “God is very powerful, so powerful that you can’t imagine. He is unique and one of its kind”.

Electron and protons are charged particles. That means they possess energy. If a nucleus (or core) of an atom, particularly the heavy atom is broken down, a huge amount of energy is released. The process is called nuclear fission.

All nuclear plants which generates tremendous amount of power and electricity work on this principle. Atom bombs or nuclear bombs are other examples of this energy, though these are of destructive nature.

So we end up with a very powerful energy that is hidden inside an atom. It is amazing to think that a tiny atom which is invisible to our eyes can generate such power. It is unique in that perspective.

It is one of its kinds in the sense that we can’t find anything in this world which do not possess any energy. In fact we do not have anything called non-energy. We can’t compare this energy as we compare day with night, hot with cold in terms of antonyms. It is difficult to describe that way.

If my friend was talking about God in terms of physical reality then this energy might be the answer to our question. But if he has in mind spiritual terms then I have to find answer in spiritual region.
