Let us imagine a town center, which is circumscribed by a temple, a masjid, a gurudwara, and a church. The roadsides are adorned by stalls of garlands, flowers, sheets for the masjid, and other accessories for offering at the altar. The opposite roadside is filled with random stalls. Some sellers are selling bangles, a few are busy preparing sugarcane juice, a few are carrying sacks towards a construction site. The road is presenting hustle-bustle. The sun is at its peak.
Now, let us see a situation, which we often encounter on Indian streets. Then, we should come to conclusions, whether man saw God or not.
A young lad is carrying a sack full of plastic bottles and his eyes are fixed on the ground. He is in search of more bottles. At the same time, a moneyed man appears in the scene in a lavish car. He beeps the horn heavily and tries to fit his vehicle in the hustle and bustle. The lavishness and arrogance force the public to move aside. He takes off his sunglasses and comes out of his car. He approaches a stall of garlands and asks the seller to prepare a garland worth rupees five thousand for the altar. The little boy is thirsty as the overhead sun has sucked all the hydration. He approaches the moneyed man with a shivering gait and asks him for a glass of sugarcane juice from the stall. The moneyed fellow gives him a filthy look and forces him to move away. The tender eyes become moist. An ordinary man sees the event and goes to the juice stall. He asks the seller to prepare glasses of sugarcane juice. He calls the boy and asks about his identity and his family. He takes up the glass of juice and offers the boy. Then, he takes his glass and takes few sips. The cool and refreshing juice makes the boy feel delighted. A cool drink amid hot sun rays makes him thank the man heavily. His face shows extraordinary expressions of innocence and happiness, and he leaves. The moneyed fellow approaches the ordinary fellow and tells him that those kinds of acts give rise to the poorer in the nation. The man smiles and replies humbly that he saw God.
Now let us come to the initial question. According to me, the man found God in the gentle though deep smile.
