God is described as a being that can change the course of beings lower than it. God is a figure that helps, loves, and cares for beings lower than them. God is a being with endless love and forgiveness. God is a source of support, and God helps people achieve their goals by granting their wishes. These are the features of the god that we know, follow, and believe in. Our ancestors have left many traits behind indicating the existence, physical and moral characteristics, and stories of a certain higher being we call God.
People live their entire lives trying to rely on this higher being to solve all their life problems and get them to the perfect paradise afterlife. They spend their lives trying to make sure they stay within the rules created by God, trying to stay as pure as possible with the ideology of walking the path towards light. What people do not realize is that the God that we speak of and their powers and characteristics are within human limits. And why is that? It’s because God hasn’t shown any examples of his powers or hasn’t shown his proof of existence throughout many centuries. So, in order to keep people believing in God’s existence, the creators of this presence had to state that God doesn’t grant you powers; he just helps you get through your problems through hard work and makes sure you have a happy life, bringing you gifts in life as a reward for your hard work.
When we work hard day and night, then of course, we are going to get good results due to our hard work. But what part did God play while we did all that work that we so highly devote the results of our work to them? God’s powers and characteristics are within human limits, as said earlier, which means that any human can be God. As long as a human has a pure heart, a helpful soul, and power that can change another human’s life, they also can become God. Even if you gift a 500 rupee note to a beggar on the street, for that person, you become God. When you save another person’s life, you become God, even when you cook good food, which ensures good health in the future of the person who eats that food, makes you God.
The God that we believe in, we can become ourselves. Some might argue, saying that we can’t become God as we can’t move mountains and move the clouds in the skies. Oh, but when one has the money and power, trust me, they can create mountains and clouds. Everything that has been recorded done by God is not impossible to be done by humans. God has not done any activities that go past the human imagination. Everything God has done has been done within the boundaries of its existence on this planet Earth.
Humans can become gods. They can solve any matter in the world with enough power and money. They can create unimaginable things. They can achieve unimaginable goals. They can change anything that comes their way. And yet, they rely on a higher being to grant them things they can achieve themselves and blame the being for their failing when the being has no part in the process of achieving their goals. Humans need to realize that God exists for mental strength to finish their goals, not as a source of a chance at success.
