God is in everyone?

Sat Nam!

This is a good question. Yes, God is in everyone, including psychopaths and Adolf Hitler. But not everyone sees the God in themselves. In Jap Ji Sahib, it says that there are countless beings that God created, because it pleased His will. Then it also says that there are ones who will not recognize that God lives within; it is not in their destiny.

We see God in all because that is a fact. Every atom of everything in this creation is God. Have you ever heard, "If you can't see God in all, you can't see God at all?" It's true! As humans, though, it's hard for our tiny mind to comprehend why murders take place. We do not want to see people die horribly, or something "unfair" happen. To us, it's a travesty. But what's the big picture? The big picture is what many are not ready to accept. That is: whatever happens, does so for a reason. God flows throughout Her universe. Look at history; if all those wars, all those drastic things did not happen, where would we be? No one can know, but where we are is all because of Its will! We are at the ideal place God wants us to be.

Then, there is karma. Karma, the pretty and the ugly. God is the Architect of Karma. All things run according to those Divine Laws. Someone who is a murderer is paying off a karma, and the murdered one is also paying off a karma. We cannot know what they did in a past life. Ideally, we can only go along with what happens. It's important to defend people against those vicious people, but we cannot hate. We can only do what has to be done to keep the peace. You know, when you fight for self defense of yourself and others, it is not a fight of hate. A lot of victims' families, as they confront their serial killer, will say that they feel nothing after the murderer is sentenced. I think that might have to do with the fact that the soul accepts what's done as done, and that the karma was paid off. Survivors move forwards, and the unlucky get stuck in revenge.

The next time you read about a murderer and get confused, try to look further. Science has come out with facts that a true psychopath's brain chemistry is drastically different than a "normal" person's. (This is not true about all of them, but they have discovered this in the brain scans of several famous ones.) Instead of denying the God in them, why not serve that God and treat that person's condition, if possible? Or make sure that they are in a place where they cannot hurt themselves or anyone else (like putting them in confinement or a prison hospital)? It is not within us to believe that people are inherently bad--that makes no ... (more)
