God :
.
Man
has always been aware of a mysterious power in the universe. Sometimes
he has
identified
this Power with things he could see but knew little about, like the sun
and stars; sometimes he has thought of the Mystery as an invisible person
or a group of individuals
very
much like himself but with greater powers; at other
times he has had more
abstract
and complicated ideas about the First Cause through which Creation
has
come into being and whose presence he has
instinctively felt or
rationally
reasoned. People living in different parts of the world
have
not agreed on what this Mystery is, but on one
point
they are united: that such a
Mystery
exists.
.
Baha'u'llah
teaches that men throughout the ages have sought after the same Reality
though their understanding of it has been different. They have used different
names and worshipped in different ways; but they are, in truth, fellow-belivers
in this mysterious Power which is greater than themselves.
.
Albert
Einstein, the famous twentieth century scientist, expresses his belief
in this way:
"
My religion consists of a humble admiration
of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details
we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble
minds. That deeply emotional conviction of the presence of a superior
reasoning power, which is revealed
in
the incomprehensible universe , forms my idea of God .
