The Myth About God

• Sometimes, I wonder about the moment when the idea of God was first created in the human mind. Not because God does not exist, but because that idea quietly made humanity dependent, always looking outward, always waiting for someone else to arrive and remove pain, suffering, and fear. From childhood, we are taught to seek help outside ourselves, to pray for rescue, to believe that salvation will come from somewhere beyond us.

• Yet every religious scripture and every enlightened being has told us the same truth again and again: the Divine Light already lives within us. It powers us. It illuminates us. And still, in a strange irony, instead of walking toward that inner source, we turn enlightened beings themselves into Gods. Those beings never claimed ownership of divinity. They discovered it within. They walked inward, realized the truth of Who Am I, and returned only to remind us of the same light living inside us.

• Their message was simple and profound. I am the creator, the operator, and the destroyer of my own life. But the mind, driven by fear and illusion, creates Maya. It convinces us that someone outside is responsible for our well being, our suffering, and our destiny. And so we remain distracted, searching everywhere except where the truth resides.

• The deeper truth is this: we are all our own Gods. Enlightened beings are not rulers over us. They are guides. They walk beside us, hold our hand, and gently lead us inward until the day we are ready to stand on our own and experience the ultimate truth for ourselves. Temples, Gurudwaras, Mosques, Synagogues, and sacred spaces are not destinations. They are gardens where the seeds of love, devotion, trust, and grace are planted in the soil of our minds.

• Until we discover our own truth, we need something to believe in, something to lean on. It does not matter whether that faith takes the form of Jesus, Moses, Allah, Guru Nanak, Hindu deities, a tree, a leaf, a stone, or any symbol that resonates with your heart. What matters is the depth of your trust. That trust becomes your companion on the inward journey, guiding you gently until the moment you encounter your own Vaheguru, the Almighty within.

• When that realization dawns, everything changes. You understand that you are a spark of the same infinite consciousness that created the universe. You are both the director and the actor of your own life. You become responsible for your destiny. The ego and the restless mind fall into their rightful place, becoming servants of the Divine Light instead of its masters. The noise of the outer world loses its power, unable to disturb the stillness rising from within.

• In that silence, the purpose of coming to Earth becomes clear.

  So when you find a quiet moment in your day, pause. Turn inward. Ask yourself the most sacred question a human can ask: Who am I?

• May one day you choose to walk within and discover the God you have been searching for all along.
