Every person is always conscious of his existence or the feeling of ‘I am’. This feeling exists because he or she is alive. The life which is the source of this feeling is an embodiment of ‘Chaitanya’. Sense of being or ‘Astitvachi Janiv’ is a subtle manifestation of ‘Chaitanya’. Even though I have to believe that God exists, the feeling of ‘I am’ cannot be attributed to any superstition nor does it depend on faith. On the contrary this feeling is the one which we experience daily. It is associated with the body and worldly life. The sense of ‘I am’ can be dissociated from the two. One can experience Chaitanya or Atma Tatva which is the source of Pure Consciousness through the very medium of Pure Consciousness. This is what is called ‘SwaroopDnyan’ or Self-realization. And this Chaitanya is nothing but God’s manifestation in the physical body.

If one thinks of retiring God and His address is to be found, then it can be found in the Upanishads, Bhagwadgita. ‘Ishwar Sarvabhutanam Hrudeshearjun Tishthate.’-

HE resides in every being in the form of Self. ‘I am’ is the primary manifestation of the divine principle.

Saying that ‘God does not exist’ is equivalent to saying that ‘I do not exist’.
