Question

Being born into a living tradition - be it Christianity, Buddhism, Unificationism, or any other - may give one the advantage of a stable spiritual background where some fundamental things are a given that accompanies you all the way from the cradle. But we all have to go the course of human beings in an environment that challenges any certainty that may have been handed over to us. My question this week is: how did you encounter the question of God or the Ultimate? I do not mean, how did you meet God, because I cannot presuppose that you did, nor do I want to take the existence of God for granted. 2 well written paragraph please my money has been wasted in past because my questions weren't being answering I thank you philosophy question

Explanation / Answer

None of us who are born into this world have a all happy life,we all face troubles in way or the other. As being born into a family of Christian faith, it was made sure by family that I recieve sound foundation in Christianity. But receiving a good teaching on spirituality merely doesn't help you to have sound faith in your God. It's during the time of raging storms in your life, when all the efforts from your side fails and you feel that nobody on this earth can help you. At this point of life there's frustration, anger that blinds you, question the entity of your God,you ask him 'why me" ,"why has this happened to me". This is the point life where you feel you are stucked, it's like getting stuck in mire ,the more you put effort of getting out the more you get into trouble.

This is where the real test of faith begins because you feel that your God who knows everything has become a silent spectator, or is having fun seeing you in trouble. After this initial stage of anger towards your Creator and when there's no other option you begin leaning on your God. And this is where you start building a real relationship with your Ultimate, you have peace amidst of all choas of the life. The faith in your Ultimate helps you to let go things that ought to have, to move forward,to develop into better human beings,to know the real mean of hope,faith and love and why love is given more importance than hope and faith. The relationship that you build with your Creator is strong,that is based on your personal experience than what is taught to you. It doesn't mean faith in God will make everything fine and better in your life,but it does mean that you will not be scattered any more during the difficult time and that you know that you have an Ultimate person who cares for you and give you peace and calmness till the storm is over.
