Once
at a discourse a devotee has asked to Sri.Buddha about the existence of
god. For that, Sri. Buddha’s reaction was very simple – a smile.
Sri. Buddha neither accepts nor denies the existence of god, unlike Jainism, -which totally denies the Ever Existent (god). According to Buddha, the necessity does not arise at all on this subject. He said that worldly life is surrounded by sorrows that make one to take several births. The desire is the factor behind all sorrows. By overcoming this desire one can win over the sea of sorrows and thus can escape from the birth death cycle.
As a nihilist he said that the truth (supreme) is that the one, which becomes null & void.
Samkhya philosophy argues that if God does not have any bond (relation) with world and is detached, then he would not be interfering in any affairs in the worldly matters ; and further it argues that as per the theists if God as a benefactor, then it makes god to govern us only under attachment .That is he remains to be attached and he is not an independent being. So this persuades Him to govern under compulsion and it reduces His virtue of being ever unattached. So this makes a theist to accept either God is not at all governing or he is never unattached. In both way god will not be God.
But I wish to follow the popular sloka of Narayaneeyam which says that God is incomparable, beyond space and time, detached and ever unattached.
This (remaining unattached) can be substantiated with an example; the sun governs the earth by giving its energy. The billions of lives, from single sense grass to six sensed human being depends on this energy for their day to day activities,while sun remains independent.
Vedanta shows the existence of Supreme Being beyond this supreme nature. According to Vedic science, there are innumerable universes present in this supreme nature. And a formless & attribute less Supreme Being governs this supreme nature
The Katopanishad Verse VI.7 to VI.9 discusses Ultimate Truth
Superior to the sense organs is the mind; superior to the mind is intelligence; superior to the intelligence is the cosmic mind; superior to the cosmic mind is absolute supreme nature. Superior even to the absolute nature (null& void) is the Ever Existent, all pervading and all encompassing (Supreme being)
Bhagvad gita tells us (X111.17), ‘That Supreme Being is said to be light of all lights and entirely beyond absolute dark nature’.
Purushasookta also comment that Supreme Being is beyond the supreme nature. The following stanza gives idea about this ,
"I know this great Supreme Being, the wise one, who, having created the various forms and the nomenclatures, deals with them by those names, and who is beyond darkness, and is eternal, and is brilliant like the sun."
According to me,There must be sole source of potential form of energy available in the universe, which gives kinetic energy to irrigate each and every particle of universe. This energy, which vitalizes all particles, is also acts as bonding force and acting as a platform to do their respective functions. All particles in this universe follows some basic rules while functioning and we can find they follow some regularity& precision in their functioning .So it does mean that a sole soul (Chaitanya) which is independent to this potential form of supreme form of energy which governs those functioning. In other words the functional part of Supreme Being(non functional,attributeless) is this universe (nature).
The difference in the view between theist and atheist is slightly narrow but both are parallel to the ultimate truth.
