Age New Spirituality – Inspirational Stories ( Part 116 )

It is not a very logical argument, as we all know; there is something childish about it, yet it is the only little bit of anything we can know about God from the external world, that this world required a builder. But this is no explanation of the universe. The materials of this world were before Him, and this God wanted all these materials,and the worst objection is that He must be limited by the materials. The builder could not have made a house without the materials of which it is composed. Therefore he was limited by the materials; he could only do what the materials enabled him to. Therefore the God that the Design Theory gives is at best only an architect, and a limited architect of the universe.

He is bound and restricted by the materials; He is not independent at all. That much they had found out already, and many other minds would have rested at that. In other countries the same thing happened; the human mind could not rest there; the thinking, grasping minds wanted to go further, but those that were backward got hold of them and did not allow them to grow. But fortunately these Hindu sages were not the people to be knocked on the head; they wanted to get a solution, and now we find that they were leaving the external for the internal.

The first thing that struck them was, that it is not with the eyes and the senses that we perceive that external world,and know anything about religion; the first idea, therefore, was to find the deficiency,and that deficiency was both physical and moral,as we shall see. You do not know,says one of these sages, the cause of this universe; there has arisen a tremendous difference between you and me -- why? Because you have been talking sense things and are satisfied with sense - objects and with the mere ceremonials of religion, while I have known the Purusha beyond.
