what is god?

[Narendra Sarkar]

"It seems to me that the idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I cannot take seriously. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it. The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends. A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, of the manifestations of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty, which are only accessible to our reason in their most elementary forms—it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute the truly religious attitude; in this sense, and in this alone, I am a deeply religious man. "-Einstein
