“The Story Of Buddha And God” — A Inspirational Journey
One day in the early morning Gautama Buddha was sitting in a garden quietly with his disciples.
A man arrived silently and stood in the shadows that man was a great devotee of Lord Rama. He had built many temples across the country. He had devoted many years to the service of Lord Rama.
He would always chant Rama’s name and contemplate on Rama’s greatness. He was old and close to his last years and even after many years of dedicated spiritual effort he was not enlightened.
He wanted to know for sure if there is a god or not?
When he heard about the enlightened one he came to get his doubt cleared. When he felt that nobody would notice him talking to Buddha.
He asked Gautama,
“O enlightened one, please tell me the truth! and the truth only. Is there a God?”
Buddha. from his intuition knew that man to be a great devotee of Lord Rama, he looked at that man with seriousness and said, “No, My friend, there is no god.”

His words spread through the whole town, the whole town was celebrating the day on which the truth of NO GOD was revealed by the enlightened one.
They were finally free of the ideas of hell, heaven, and of somebody sitting up to judge one’s actions.

He was eaten by his doubt, he finally decided to know the truth and sought the enlightened one. He slowly came up to where Buddha was sitting, and asked him,
“They say you are enlightened, Please tell me if there is GOD?”.
