Ever since god almighty created the Cosmos... he acts as a Dhrista (an onlooker)... he never interferes in the creation of his. God Almighty created human beings in his image so that reaching the level of human beings... one can gain enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and then salvation (moksha). Thereafter it is a direct journey to the kingdom of God (aka Baikuntha in Hinduism).

Joy and sufferings are part of human life. In absence of suffering... none could enjoy joy and in absence of joy... none could know the meaning of sufferings. Both are part of a system that cannot err. We normally observe in day-to-day life that to shape metal into a sword... it is first heated... then beaten up... then inserted in cold water. Again heated, beaten up and inserted in cold water. Finally a shining sword emerges.

In the journey of life unless there are sufferings and joy... we shall not reach our goals in life. Sufferings are as important as joy itself. It gives meaning to life. It is only when we suffer... we remember god and his nice creation. It is only then we assign true meaning to life.

In the cosmic affairs of things... our soul atman within has manifested this body of a human being. Our soul atman has a total of 8.4 million manifestations to reach the kingdom of God (aka Baikuntha in Hinduism). Only when a human being gains enlightenment and salvation... does the soul atman within get liberated forever from the cycle of birth and death.

God is not the form of a human being... the temperatures within God exceed trillions of degrees centigrade... it a sheer pure energy much beyond the comprehension of human beings.

Belief in God
Belief in the supernatural... God Almighty himself is the gist of life. As an atheist one may or may not believe in the existence of God Almighty... but most atheists (with whom I have come in contact) believe that there exists some supernatural source of energy over which human beings have no control... something far more superior and powerful than human beings!

Define God
God Almighty... a cluster of pure energy is but the sum total of all souls (atmans) in the cosmos at a given point of time. The essence of every soul (atman) being the same as God Almighty... every soul is but a minuscule God in its entity.

God Almighty
You want God Almighty to help one... a human being who is already the culprit of his situation! Every soul atman is but a minuscule form of God Almighty. The form of a human being is the highest manifest stage in the cosmic life cycle. Having crossed a cosmic journey of 7.3 million manifestations... the soul atman reaches the manifest stage of human life... what more can a lusting human form desire!

God and Satan
Once you realize what God Almighty is... the concept of Satan would itself become clear! God Almighty is not the form of a human being. The concept of God Almighty can never be understood with the limitations of the senses and the mind. Only when one gains enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) the real picture emerges.

Kingdom of God
The kingdom of God (Baikuntha) is a place of no return. Every soul (aka atman in Hinduism) after gaining liberation from the cycle of birth and death forever reaches the kingdom of God... the final abode... a point of no return! Only the souls of enlightened beings (kaivalya Jnanis') who have gained salvation (moksha) can enter the abode of God... the Kingdom of God!
