Omshantimandiram gandhi

One God

By Mahatma Gandhi

God is certainly one.
He has no second.
He is unfathomable, unknowable, and unknown to the vast majority of mankind.
He is every- where. He sees without eyes, and hears without ears.
He is formless and in- visible. He is uncreated--has no father, mother or child; and yet.
He allows himself to be worshipped as father, mother, wife and child. He allows Himself to be worshipped as stock and stone, although he is none of these things.
He is the most elusive.
He is the nearest to us if we would but know the fact. But He is farthest from us when we do not want to realize His omnipresence.
There are many gods in the Vedas. Other scriptures call them angels.
But the Vedas sing of only one God.
