In this modern age of materialism most people do not believe in the existence of God, `Ishwara' on the grounds of ‘that which cannot be comprehended by the gross and subtle senses is unreal and fictitious’. His Divine Grace Om Vishnupad 108 Sri Srimad Bhakti Dayita Madhav Goswami Maharaj in one of His branch Maths at Krishnagar, Dt. Nadia, West Bengal, impressively made one such disbelieving student understand by his own words. That student, when asked why he took admission at Krishnagar College for getting higher education, when he could have got it in his own house, replied ‘My revered father admitted me in the Krishnagar College for higher education because the professors of that college were very learned’.

Maharaj immediately asked that student, ‘You have submitted to the professors for getting higher education, so that means that you are accepting a person superior to you in education. What is the meaning of `Ishwara'? `Ishwara' or God means One who has got dominating power and has got wealth. We are accepting, in every sphere, higher qualified persons to be enriched by them, as for example, a person who wants proficiency in wrestling, submits to a wrestler, one who wants to get money, submits to a rich person. When you are accepting small Gods in every sphere, why you should hesitate to submit to the Almighty, Who can protect us and maintain us in all circumstances? If we ignore fire, fire will not lose anything, but we shall be deprived of the utility of fire. The Supreme Lord is Absolute, Infinite and Complete Reality. If we do not accept Him, He will lose nothing but we shall be deprived of being protected and maintained by Him. Om purnam adah purnamidam purnat purnam udacyate purnasya purnam adaya purnam evavasisyate (Sri Ishopanishad) If you subtract Purna from Purna the remainder will be Purna, it will not be zero. As per Mathematics, Infinity minus Infinity is also Infinity.’
