God is nowhere.
Take the word, “Nowhere”.
Split it. It becomes “Now Here”.
So God is now here.
The question is actually put forward by God in you. The deeper the question digs,
the faster will be your transformation from Siddhartha to Buddha.
Siddhartha was himself a questioner to start with. He was crown prince, had a happy wife and son.
Suddenly one day, he started seeking answers to questions like the one you asked now. Those were not verbal questions, they were from the depth of his being - - spurred by seeing people suffer because of senility, disease and death.
The yearning for an answer to his quest became so acute that he shed everything and finally attained enlightenment under a Bodhi tree.
The Buddha (enlightenment) was already within Siddhartha. Siddhartha is the seed and the Buddha, the tree.
Start asking the same question with real fervour; with that type of earnestness,
the answer will spring from within. No external entity can enlighten you;
you have to light up the Light within you. Anyone can tell you the route to take to
Mumbai. But only you have to travel.
