God Exists ! ?
A topic from manusmriti :-
This is one of the best explanations of why God allows pain and
suffering that I have seen: A man went to a barbershop to have his
hair cut and his beard trimmed.As the barber began to work, they
began to have a good conversation.
They talked about so many things and various subjects.
When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the
barber said ,”I don’t believe that God exists.”
“Why do you say that?” asked the customer. “Well, you just have to go
out in the street to realize that God doesn’t exist.
Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people?
Would there be abandoned children?
If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain.
I can’t imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things.”
The customer thought for a moment, but didn’t respond because he
didn’t want to start an argument.
The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop.
Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long,
stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and
unkempt.
The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again
and he said to the barber: “You know what? Barbers do not exist.”
“How can you say that?” asked the surprised barber.
“I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!”
“No!” the customer exclaimed. “Barbers don’t exist because
if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair
and untrimmed beards, like that man outside.”
“Ah, but barbers DO exist! That’s what happens when people do not
come to me.”"Exactly!” affirmed the customer.
“That’s the point! God, too, DOES exist! That’s what happens when
people do not go to Him and don’t look to Him for help. That’s! why
there’s so much pain and suffering in the world.”
