Malf uza t - English translation of Urdu Volume 9 72 No Proof of God’s Existence according to A rya Beliefs According to the Vedas, it is a confirmed fact that presently no Sign can be manifested, and God Almighty does not speak with anyone. Irrespective of however many times someone calls upon Him, the reply to his call can never be received from Him. Once upon a time God Almighty did speak, but now He is silent. When this is the doctrine and belief, then tell me what assurance it could afford man for believing in the existence of God Almighty, and how could it produce the conviction through which man might attain true salvation? It is indeed true that there is a need for proofs in order to believe in the existence of God Almighty. If creations and crea- tures are proofs of His existence, for example, the moon and the sun are a Sign, then according to their belief, they cannot be evidence of Almighty Allah’s existence as their faith says that souls—that is, living creations—exist all by themselves and they are eternal. God Almighty did not create them. Since they are not created, how can they be proof for one who created them? Similarly, they also believe that particles, which are called bodies, also came into existence on their own; the mere respon- sibility of Parmeshwar being to piece them together. However, I say that if those extraordinarily magnificent works came to exist on their own, then what is the need for Parmeshwar to put them together? That would also happen on its own. Therefore, there is no proof for the existence of Parmeshwar according to the beliefs of the Aryas. If they are asked for proof of the existence of Parmeshwar, the response will indeed be that there is none. At the most, they will say that he puts the souls and matter together. So this is a flawed and absurd statement. No wise person would be willing to accept it.
