Recently, I read an article in the newspaper, it read "Where was god when Tsunami came?" "Is nature powerful than God that makes God helpless and why did God let people share his suffering?" "If it is ones'Karma or Sin why all must go through this disaster?"
Divine knowledge and science leads to many discoveries about nature. Science comes with evidence, while divine knowledge is gained by personal research and experience and in most cases it cannot be shown to others but could only be felt. Self-realization is personal research and the outcome of such research is knowledge (experience). God is less powerful to those who see his power in a 'form' or 'religion'. He is more powerful when you realize his universal level. God is nature and nature is god. He destroys what he has created and others can't question him. Our body is also a temporary shelter for the soul.
When we say that 'we' are the representatives of God means the 'soul' is part of the Supreme Power (god). Self-realization by meditation gives this understanding about the relationship of our soul with the cosmic power. Our body is programmed in a way to get answers. Those with this great knowledge accept death willingly and their soul returns to its origin while those without such understanding takes death as a painful unacceptable experience.
