God is Nature:  --- by C.K.Kamath Ph.D.

Only the highest evolved human beings could conceive the idea of God and give different interpretations to this concept. In the various religious scriptures of the world, God has often been described as Omni-Present (all-pervading) and Omni- Potent (all-powerful). It has also been described that: God is present in the smallest particles of matter (atoms), sand particles, blades of grass and even in pieces of wood. God is often described by some of the saints as one without shape or any form, without sex or color. What then is God?

God is nature/supreme energy:

 We human beings have known different forms of energies that exist in the Universe, such as: Heat, Light, Sound, Electricity, Magnetism and Atomic/Nuclear Energies, GOD can briefly be described as the sum total of all these Energies or Nature itself. As such, this concept follows the Natural Laws of Physics as shown under:

1)      Energy is Indestructible: Energy has a source, a medium to travel and a point of manifestation. So this universal supreme source of energy was there from the very beginning of time. It was always there. It has no end. This energy flowed itself in the Universe eternally.

 2)      Sum Total of all these Energies remains Constant: Although these Energies change their shapes and manifestation constantly, yet their total strength remains constant. They can change from one form into another. For example, we know that tow gases like Hydrogen and Oxygen in the presence of Electricity under certain conditions and transform and become water. The commonly know sea water which contains sodium chloride, when electrolytically split can create sodium and chlorine ions, which then get converted into Caustic Soda and Chlorine Gas.

Similarly, the same Electric Energy when properly utilized in our domestic appliances can get converted into Mechanical Motion (Fans and Food Processors) into HEAT (as in room heaters or hot plates) or LIGHT (as in electrical bulbs of Television sets) to into SOUND as in the case of Radio. It is still the same Electricity getting manifested in the different forms. We can appreciate these manifestations only. The same initially present ENERGY gets demonstrated to us in different forms.

Human thought is also an ENERGY:

The thinking process associated with such aspects as Love, Affection, Friendship and Social Welfare etc, gets more developed in human beings, since MAN is the highest form in the cycle of EVOLUTION. Only Man could conceive the ideas of God and Soul-Good and Bad, When this thought Energy gets concentrated on a particular person or place, that person becomes Godly and the place- a Sacred one like the Church or Temple. Man created the concept of God as a Lord, Master or Father- all human forms, out of this thought process endowed in him by NATURE.
