What's The God's Wish?

All this (what I'm writing here) started with a quotation that was told to me by my roommate at a hostel. I never agreed with it but this thing put me to an endless debate and I learnt many things due to this. The quotation was:-

Kill one man and you are a murderer.
Kill millions of men and you are a conqueror.
Kill everyone and you are God.

First of all I think that no intellectual person will accept this thinking as it is against the values of humanity. So let's think about this in another way. The world is full of happiness and unhappiness due to many types of good and bad people. Now without getting exited think with cool mind that what if we kill everybody (including us) at the same time and without any pain (it's possible with all these nuclear powers)? Nobody will remain alive to be sad or unhappy. But you will definitely tell that it's wrong and yes! , it is wrong. But the real question is: Why? The answer to this "why" will give you the answer of the title of this article that is What's The God's Wish?

If you got the answer then here is another question for you to think on. Everybody knows that the God is the ocean of love and kindness. We also know that the God is omnipotent and not a leaf can move without his will. So if he is very kind then how can he watch quietly the innocent people being agonized? Some people argue that it is the punishment of their vices. But my dear friend what sin can be committed by a little child who doesn't even know the meaning of sin. People again argue that it is the punishment of what they have done in their previous lives. Ok! I do believe in renaissance but what is the sense of a punishment when the mischief is unknown? Even the constitution made by humans doesn't punish a criminal without letting him know about his crime. During the earthquake followed by the Hindu-Muslim problem in Gujarat there were some articles in news papers and magazines raising only one question: Is the God sadistic?

To get the answer of these questions we have to solve another question: Who is the God? Which is closely related to another question: Who am I? If you are thinking that these two questions are unrelated then you have to learn much more before going further otherwise let's start exploring the answers of these questions.

First of all remove one thing from your mind (at least for some time) that the God is similar to a human in any way for example if you are a Hindu then stop believing that the deity you worship is the God like Maa Durga may represent some of the power deriving the universe but she is not the God. If you are a Christian or a Muslim then you might know that Christ and Muhammad Sahib were the prophets sent by the God to tell his message to the world. Yes! I agree that they were the prophets but stop thinking that the God has any brain like humans to think about his wishes and angels to fulfill his orders or any system like human systems. Even the pronoun "He" is not exact but this is the best I found within the bounds of grammar. Some people think that there is a court of God in which he gives punishments and rewards to the bad and good people. These thoughts may be correct to teach good things to the dumb people but intellectual people should not think like this. Then how should we think?

Let's take a look at the holy books of different religions. We are talking about Bible, Koran, Vedas and Purans (Sorry, I don't know much about other religions except Hinduism, Islam and Christianity). What Bible and Koran say is almost same and it states that in the beginning there was nothing then the light came... etc. Purans also say somrthing similar that at first "Ardhnareeshwar" (half "Shiv" + half "Shakti") appeared with a echo of OUM. I told it similar to the previous one but you might not agree so let me discribe this one. "Shakti" represents the energy and energy may be in the form of light or sound and thus we can also explain the reason behind the echo of OUM. The only thing that is a bit different is "Shiv". Another name of "Shiv" is "Mahakal" which means the great amount of time. You might know that we feal time just because of events and events happen because of energy so you can't say that the time and energy appeared differently. This is the reason behind the "Ardhnareeshwar" which means half "Shiv" and half "Shakti". When I was reading a book by Stephen Hawking (A Brief History of Time), I come to know that when St. Augustine was asked: What did God do before he created universe? He answered that time was the property of the universe that God created and that time did not exist before the begining of the universe. As much as I know the indian philosophy it has a similar and even better answer. As I explained above it all started with the "Mahakal" and the "Shakti", means in the begining there was an equilibrium then somehow the equilibrium broke to form particles and antiparticles. Particles are the things extracted from the equilibrium and antiparticles are the hole in the equilibrium state after the particle has been detached. Since these are made due to energy somehow we may say that E = mc². This was the first event so we can say that time started from here but this is only due to our definition of time (or the way we feel it) otherwise it has no start point. So! Is the energy or light is God? No! energy is only a part of universe or if we follow E = mc² then the universe is nothing but energy. But energy is obviously not the God.
