Have you seen God?

I liked this reply by Sri Sri Ravi Sankar in an interview to Sify..

Q.Have you seen God? Some people might like to say that merely doing good without taking recourse to any brand of religion is sufficient to reach that goal? Do you agree?

There are certain questions for which no answer is the right answer. Like if someone is sleeping and you ask ‘Are you sleeping’, and if they don’t answer, then they are sleeping. If they said ‘Yes’, that means they are not sleeping...

This is one such question. So God is not an object of your senses, it is the very basis of your life. When you honour life, then you understand that which is the basis and this whole art is meditation

Just by rejecting religion, you won’t get anywhere. You don’t have to put a brand on your head and then meet yourself, have a broad vision and deep roots. Just by rejecting religion, you won’t get anywhere... We have seen in this country what communism has done.

It has given birth to Naxalism which is so far from peace, love and progress; through Naxalism you cannot progress. Nobody has made progress so far.
