Where's God Part 2 : In Your Mind

Where's God Part 2 : In Your Mind


I like the blog, "Where's God?" very much cos I feel it challenges.

As such, I'm producing a sequel to it.

Enjoy!


One day, after a discourse, when Maitreya was about to leave, a man quickly got up from his seat and asked to allow his question. That it is very important.

Maitreya agreed.

Then, in a loud and booming voice, the man asked, "Can you tell me where's God?"

Smiling, and in a calm and composed manner, Maitreya replied, "In your mind."

Puzzled, the man asked Maitreya for clarification : "What do you mean 'in my mind'?"

Maitreya looked on at the man and gently replied,

"Sir, if the idea of 'God' is NOT created by you in your mind, perceived and conceived by you in your mind, such that you accepted and believed in it,

Then where else can 'God' be if it's NOT in your mind?!"




"Whatever the mind perceives, The mind conceives;

The mind believes, And the mind achieves;

That is why the mind is the forerunner, the CHIEF."




"Mind is the forerunner of ALL good and evil states;

Mind is chief.

Mind-made are they."

- The Buddha, Dhammapada verses 1 & 2
