Belief in God

Many people profess belief in God. I do not think one can believe in God. Let us see what belief is.Belief about something requires 2 things- awareness about that thing and choosing that thing even when we know that the negation of that thing is not necessarily false. Now, finite man cannot be aware of the possibility of the infinite nature of God, cannot even raise questions about the existence/non-existence of an infinite Being i.e God without the explicit will of God. Secondly, God cannot be the object, He is the Subject. Man cannot categorize God as actual, probable, possible or fictional. It can be said that man's categorization of God is not an action performed upon God. God and opinion about God are different. But this view does not take into account, the omnipotence of God. If opinions about God can exist independently of God, than conscious beings who can hold such opinions must also exist independently of God as opinions need conscious beings. This is not possible. Hence, any opinion about God bears the explicit consent of God. Thus faith in God is possible only due to the grace of God. Ishvaranka upare aastha, Ishvara Krupa dwara hi sambhava.
