How then is the passage to the affirmation of God to be made?
Starting with the epistemic inquiry into the nature of faith we have been led to broaden our treatment into the attitude if the believers, man’s attentiveness to his experience points out to him his finitude as well as the transcendence of Being that sustain him. Prototypical gestures that mark him as man demand a religious interpretation of reality for this vindication and validity. Finally the choice that faces man when confronted with the possibilities, but between hope and despair, meaning and meaninglessness, purpose and purposelessness, Being and non being. Looking at the reality of a religious man is rational and intelligent; religion is man’s response to the fundamental questions that man have always asked themselves, questions without it would be difficult to conceive being human. The existence of God can be found on the man itself who belong to his own religion, as we all know that region it is true is man’s choice, but there is reason. To recognized in it man’s response to the hidden God who calls to him from the silent harmony of the spheres, all that man have done present to future, was tracing the itinerary of each soul that has really known God. Man have merely sketched in a more thematic and systematic manner the journal of the religious heart. It is nothing more than a prosaic rendition of the ancient prayer of the Upanishads which is nice also to quote. Lead me from unreal to the real; lead me from darkness to light lead me from death to immortality. (Upanishad)
In the philosophy of God, man need to become more critical in proving the existence of God, man must not only depend on the prejudices that he has in his culture, man must go out to the idea of the others in order for him to have a greater understanding on God, that it means that man must always interpret his reality as a man. And reasoning out his being in existence, because the existence of God depending on the man itself. He is the answer for everything. The affirmation of God then is made through the acceptance on a man itself. Therefore the existence of God can only be proved on the individual interpretation where faith can be found.
How can one Communicate with God? It is not through ordinary speech, because in the realm of divine economy it can be a handicap. The advantage of the human being over the animal is the ability to speak, but, in relation to God, wanting to speak can become the corruption of the human being, who is able to speak, what the human being knows is idle chatter, therefore they can hardly converse. Hence, how? It is by becoming silent like the lily and the bird, the masters of silence. Speech, then, is the human being’s advantage over the other creatures, it’s true, but only if he learns how to become silent.
