Seeing and Believing in God's Existence

Seeing is believing. Or believing is seeing? Two sides of the same coin. Who knows? Should we believe whatever we know, see, hear? Or, whatever we believe?

We know many things which we do not believe and we do not know many things which we believe. Actually we do know many things which are not true but we do believe them. We see many things which we do not know exactly about their true identity but we know them as if we actually know them and believe them. Is it knowing as such? The same is true with our acts of hearing. We tend to believe in hearsay. What we do believe in hearsay is not knowing, it is just believing.

We believe in God and most of the people do believe in God without knowing or seeing Him/Her. We hear from the believers that God is there, God is actually in existent in this world. They believe this without getting foolproof evidence of His/Her identity in this physical world where everything exists with its exclusive identity. Our God exists without being seeing or known to our cognizance. God neither is seen nor sees.

I only know that I am not seeing God and God also is not seeing me from any vantage point. Is He/She still there in my heart? With heart I believe. I believe that I am not seeing. I never see anything or anyone as such. As I am not seeing Her/Him should I believe the unseen or unseeable? If I believe, I see Him/Her. But categorically I say that I do not see that unseen or unseeable.

But if I do believe in God like others, with and at heart I believe Him/ Her but without seeing. I do not see ever and I will not see ever. Then do I believe? If I believe, I see. If I do not believe, then I do not see any more. If God is there, He/She is there only in my belief. God is in my fait hand belief. This is sort of make-believism. Make-believism is something which enforces on or prods us to believe what is not believable because that cannot be evidently proved.

Do I have faith? Who knows? I only know that I am not seeing Him/Her any more. Is my knowing all that I know in my heart? My heart does not have space to have faith in it. Faith remains elsewhere. Faith believes that I know that He/She is not in my faith. Here faith shudders in fear, faith trembles in uncertainty and unpredictability. What for? I do not know. I only know that faith remains elsewhere. Do I really know that? Do I really know that it is elsewhere wherefrom I live? Where do I live? Is it that I believe like others that I live in faith? Faith remains, faith triumphs. But simple faith is not cognitive knowledge. Faith is believing unquestionably.
