We use big words. And good orators can impress a million. With beautiful interpretations
God is so loving
He is omnipresent
He is omnipotent
He can do anything. He is present everywhere. Of course it impresses us. And it should. And create awe and love
But.😔 but……😔
There was a simple tailor. In India. 300 years ago. He decided to go to Mecca / Medina to do Haaj. His name was kabir.
Now in the mosque in Mecca there is a kaba/stone which represents God. This simple guy Kabir went there and did the unthinkable. He lay down with his feet facing the shrine. By all counts this is blasphemy. Of the worst kind The caretaker of the Masjid was displeased. Angry. Educated poor kabir.
Kabir simple said – God is everywhere. Tell you what why don’t you move my feet in whatever direction you please.
The caretaker, took pleasure and in a not so gentle manner moved kabir feet in a different direction. Amazingly in whatever direction they moved his feet, the stone shrine moved in the same direction!
Needless to say such simple men are the greatest of great. They are people who can truly say God is everywhere.
While educated people like me struggle to find God in the inconsiderate car driver who cut me off!
