I visited Bhopal in the year 1986. I left Delhi for Bhopal by Tamil Nadu Express. During the journey when I woke up early in the morning, I realised our train had reached the fields of Madhya Pradesh. Everywhere I could see green trees and lush green vegetation. The sun had just risen, beginning to light up the entire expanse of the fields with its radiance.
The coming into existence of such a beautiful world is most strange of all strange occurrences—a world where there is food and water, where the sun’s heat is received at an optimum temperature, where several factors come together making it possible for a train to be constructed and driven at high speed on the rails laid down on the ground.
The creator has made the world in a remarkably unusual way—the creation is visibly spread out across the universe, but the creator is entirely unseen. This phenomenon has made many people deny God’s existence. They often say: “How can we believe in God without seeing him?” But this is not a sound basis for disbelief in God.
