God to the knowledge and worship

One of the characteristics of the unique God to the knowledge and worship of Whom Prophets and religious leaders summon us is that He is utterly inaccessible to sense perception. In addition He possesses the attributes of pre-eternity and post-eternity. Existing everywhere He is nowhere. Throughout the world of nature and sensory being His manifestations have an objective existence and His will is everywhere manifest in the world of being all the phenomena of nature declaring the power of that wise Essence.

Of course such a being that man cannot perceive with his senses that is not in any way colored by materiality and that does not correspond to our normal experience and observation is extremely difficult for us to imagine. Once the existence of a thing is difficult to imagine it becomes easy to deny it.

Those who want to solve the question of existence of God within the framework of their own intellectual limitations and narrowness of vision ask how it is possible to believe in an unseen being. They overlook the fact that sense perception being limited can help man to know and perceive only one mode of being; it cannot discover other modes of being and penetrate all the dimensions of existence. Sensory organs do not permit us to advance a single step beyond the outer aspects of phenomena in just the same way that the empirical sciences cannot carry human thought beyond the boundaries of the supra-sensory.

If man through the application of scientific instruments and criteria cannot perceive the existence of a thing he cannot deny its existence simply because it is incompatible with material criteria unless he disposes of some proof that the thing in question is impossible.

We discover the existence of an objective law from within the totality of phenomena that t it is capable of interpreting. If then the establishment of scientific truth is possible only by means of direct sensation the majority of scientific truths will have to be discarded since many scientific facts cannot be perceived by means of sensory experience or testing.
