They say God is dead! They say this on a morning when the sun that God created is rising, and the birds that God fashioned are singing, and the heart of the universe is beating. This word came out of their mouths, and they failed. They said God is dead, for they killed It. They covered their eyes with their own hands and said the light is dead, and they turned away from the blissful currents and said there is no joy here.
The One who fashioned the solar system out of a shapeless cloud is still here. The One who brought forth the universe out of "no-verse" is still here. The One who brought forth all these things from nothingness, how can it be that It went into nothingness Itself? The One who created existence cannot be non-existence. The power that arranged billions of stars and galaxies cannot fail to govern the tiny planet Earth.
O man, be humble! What prevents you from seeing God now? Have the lights of towers in modern cities blinded you? Or has the sound of music in bars deafened you? I see God every day, every moment, here and now. Just call to It in any language, and be filled with gratitude to It. God replies. You will feel It. You are not alone. The gods and ghosts of old are not gone; the wonderland of the upper world is not gone. They are here. God and Its angels, and Its kingdom are here. The battle of Good and Evil is still on. We are not dead, nor is God.
But those who say God is dead are indeed dead. They met their unfortunate destiny before it completed its cycle. But you, O modern man, rise and feel the Divine. Even in the midst of busy streets, as people walk to work, and pedestrians run after cars, and as the offices open and personnel walk in, God is there, the current is there; feel it as your ancestors felt It, whether in a cave or in a skyscraper in the modern world, God is there. The scene has changed, but the master of the house is the same.
I proclaim these from the rays of my heart, and these are not my words but the cries of my soul. What we say and what we do are inspired, even as prophets of this modern world. No time is left without the light, for we are the light of the world. What has been said before, we say now, and what has been done before, we do now.
Be humble, and be grateful that the modern world blessed you with all these luxuries and comforts. Indeed, God has guided mankind to here, and you have benefited from all this welfare. So say thanks to God every day and at any time. Sit in a secluded place for several minutes or more, repeat your words of gratitude to the Divine, and see how you are instantly filled to the brim with bliss and spiritual power.
So let the modern world make you thankful and not faithless and atheist. Oh, foolish man! Be ashamed! You think that your modern technology can save you? And no longer need God? And you posit your science contains all truths? And you found no God in there? Two years ago, you saw how a tiny virus, less than 100 nanometers, came into the world and turned it upside down? How all those modern cities became deserted cities, and how advanced countries whose fame reached heaven fell unto the ground? A disease no more greatly fatal than influenza took over the world like the blackest of deaths, and where was your advanced technology? Where was your "domination of nature"?
That was a warning. And if man does not learn lessons and continues his ungrateful ways, then more plagues will come. And when all those advanced cities turn into dissolution like the city of Lot, then a child will find a doll in the ruins, and he picks it up and finds a paper in it with the words, "God is alive and we are dead now!"
Indeed, God is alive! We proclaim neither the glitters of luxury hotels killed It, nor planes and satellites reached to It. Divine exists as before and forever. We proclaim to mankind to turn to God. And turning to God does not mean turning away from the modern world and its pleasures. For these pleasures are legitimate if we praise and thank God, and if we have our hearts flamed with the love of the Divine, and if we make righteousness the law of our lives.
O man, O woman! Do not lie, do not deceive, do not have dishonest income; follow righteousness. For righteousness is the law of God. The law is not rituals, is not creeds, is not historic belief, but righteousness, virtue, and good deeds. Follow truth at all times. Nothing out of your lips but truth, and nothing in your mind but truth.
Go out and enjoy the sunshine, enjoy the city lights, the night with your friends, but do not forget God. Thank God, and remember It all the time. The mere remembrance of God brings peace to the heart, and the mere prayer to It brings assurance and strength to the mind. All your stress will be gone. You won't find solace in drugs and dishonest business. Find peace in the Divine, for It is peace and peace comes from It. The smile on your lips will not fade as the sun fades on the horizon, or as the churches close their doors until next week.
