‘Dad, what is God like?’

In the Upanishads, there is a story. A young boy of eight years asks his father, ‘Dad, what is God like?’ 
So, the father takes the boy by the hand outside the home, and he asks, ‘What was there in this place before the building was built?’ 
The boy said, ‘Empty space.’ 
The father asks, ‘And where does this building stand?’
The boy says, ‘In the space.’
‘And when the building is demolished, what will be here?’
The boy said, ‘Space'.
The father said, ‘So, space is something which is always there, right?’
The boy said, ‘Yes.’
The father said, ‘That is what God is like.’
God is like the space in which everything comes, in which everything stays, into which everything dissolves. That can never be destroyed. And it is always there. You have no escape. You cannot go away from God at all. Impossible!
