The Investigation of God: Creation as Witness

 The Investigation of God: Creation as Witness

God remains elusive, hidden behind the grandeur of His creation. As investigators, humanity is tasked with solving the mystery of existence, with the universe itself as the primary witness. The Bhagavad Gita exhorts seekers, saying, “In whatever way people surrender unto Me, I reciprocate accordingly. Everyone follows My path in all respects” (Gita 4.11). This suggests that the search for God is deeply personal, requiring focus and an unwavering commitment to uncovering the divine truth.

Unlike typical investigations, this quest does not rely on external validation. The individual must turn inward. Krishna assures in the Gita, “The Supreme Truth exists both internally and externally, in the moving and the non-moving” (Gita 13.16). This implies that God’s presence permeates all existence, though veiled from the senses. Saints and scriptures guide us, but ultimately, the heart becomes the courtroom where God is “arrested” through meditation and devotion.

Obstacles abound in this pursuit—worldly distractions, societal ridicule, and internal doubts. Yet, Krishna encourages perseverance: “Perform your duty with an equipoised mind, abandoning attachment and remaining undisturbed by success or failure” (Gita 2.48). Such equanimity is the foundation of true investigation, requiring both rigorous inquiry and surrender.

The process of finding God is both an art and a science—a blend of reason, faith, and love. As Krishna declares, “To those who are constantly devoted and worship Me with love, I give the understanding by which they can come to Me” (Gita 10.10). The ultimate revelation lies not in tangible proof but in a personal, transformative experience of the divine.
