GOD: THE GREATEST REALITY

Sir Michael Francis Atiyah (1929-2019), a famous British mathematician, remarked that God is a mathematician. Likewise, another prominent British scholar, Sir James Jeans, suggested that the universe was the handiwork of a mathematician. God was an artist to the renowned Spanish artist Pablo Picasso (1881-1973).

Anyone who observes the universe with sufficient depth is led to feel that someone else who is greater and more powerful than man is present. The mathematician sees such high-level mathematical accuracy in the universe that he forgets his mathematics and cries out, “God is a very big mathematician!” When an artist sees the universe through his particular perspective, such beautiful art appears before him that his art seems utterly insignificant in his own eyes, and he calls out, “God is the greatest artist!” When a sagacious person looks at the amazing wisdom in every bit of the universe, he is astounded that someone else is more intelligent than all humans put together and recognizes the Creator’s existence.

The fact is that God is the greatest mathematician, the greatest artist, and the wisest of all, and along with this, much, much more. The person who does not see the signs of God in the universe is blind, as is the person who, even on seeing them, does not accept them for what they indeed are.
