How does the One God of all Mercy manifests in various Forms?

People around the world in various groups following different faiths understood the True Divine powers in various ways. Often there are several questions that occur in our minds. If God is all merciful and compassionate, all good only, why is it that the world is full of calamities and miseries everywhere? Then there are eternal questions; why do good people suffer, and more so, how some bad people have an enjoyable life? Does such a compassionate God also punish or test His children? If God is all compassionate, will He punish people or get angry, or is it the activity of any other forces of nature? Will this passionate God reward only those who pray to Him? Why should people see an angry God and why should people be afraid of a God? Why one should need to pray or do something to get a benefit from God? Is this the True nature of the Divine Supreme Being?

How does a faith in One Supreme Being co-exist along with a belief in such variety of celestial forces of Angels and other spirits that affect the man in their day to day activities? Are they subordinate to God or do they act independent of God's will? Then, the ultimate question of the Atheist - Is there really a God or is it just a grandiose imagination? While it is not possible for a person to understand the true vision even while they keep their eyes shut, some will never understand the Supreme even when they search with their eyes wide open. One really needs an intuitive vision with intelligence. The Divine always comes down to a level the devotee can understand the True nature of the Supreme Spirit.

From the most ancient time, in every culture and civilization, the human race has gone in search of God, the Supernatural Force that created the universe in a great order in middle of all the Chaos. An atheist may deny the very concept of an existence of such a Divine Force superior to us governing us all, simply due to an inability to understand or accept such a theory. An agnostic may simply ignore the concept simply because they do not want to think about analyzing such information. Still they agree on a natural force in action. Then the question arises "Who is God?" or "What is God?" If God is all Merciful, then who causes all these calamities? If God is all powerful why does not He manifest and reveal His True self to everyone in the same way. Is this Divine Force something created by all men or was there a God who created all men and every thing else.

As the Vedas themselves proclaim "perhaps He only knows, perhaps He knows not". The question of "who or what is God" cannot be answered satisfactorily for the vast majority of the human race. The Supreme Reality (whom we call as Paramatma and referred to as God in the West) is not a question to be solved by any explanation without reference to personal experience that takes us closer to an understanding. Only spiritual experience can provide us with proof of the existence of God. Spiritual experience centers on a sovereign unity, which is removed from the duality between the known and the knowing. Then we will see the solid unity in hundreds of manifestations as the many facets of a single diamond. The uninitiated will see them like the six blind men who went to feel and understand the Indian elephant but feel six different parts of the elephant and fight among themselves.
