There is a mysterious power that cannot be defined but which is present in everything. It is this unseen power that makes itself felt and yet defies all proofs because it is so unlike all that is perceived through one’s senses. It is beyond the range of senses; but it is possible to reason out the existence of God to a limited extent. Even in ordinary affairs we know that people do not know who rules. And yet they know there is a power that certainly rules. In my tour in Mysore I met many poor villagers, and I found upon enquiry, that they did not know who ruled Mysore. They simply said some God ruled it. If the knowledge of these poor people was so limited about their ruler, I, who am indefinitely lesser in respect to God than they to their ruler, need not be surprised if I do not realize the presence of God, the king of kings. Nevertheless I do feel, as the poor villagers felt about Mysore, that there is orderliness in the universe. There is a law governing everything, and that law, which governs all life, is God. Law and the law giver are one.
