There are tens of proofs for God's existence. These have been recorded for centuries and are easy to look up. However, this subject ultimately becomes one of personal belief, since our possession of free-will mandates that it be possible to put forth arguments (fallacious or not) against every one of the proofs.Link: Is there evidence against Evolution
b) Nothing exists and all is an illusion. There is no reality; there is only nothing.
- This possibility, it should be obvious, is completely self-defeating. In order to even make such a proposition, the subject has to exist in some sense. If all is an illusion, where did the illusion come from? Even the solipsist, who does not believe in the existence of other minds, has to explain the genesis of his own mind.
c) The universe created itself. This is the idea that the universe and all that is in it did not have its origin in something outside itself, but from within.
- Like with the previous two, this makes a logical absurdity. It would be like creating a square triangle. It's impossible. A triangle by definition cannot be square. So creation cannot create itself as it would have to pre-date itself in order to create.
d) Chance created the universe. The odds of winning the lottery are not very good; but given eons of time, everyone will win. While the odds of the universe spontaneously appearing are minuscule, could it happen, given enough time?
- This option is a dishonest sleight of hand that, like "survival of the fittest," amounts to nothing, because it implies that "chance" itself has quantitative causal power.
The word "chance" refers to possibilities. It does not have the power to cause those possibilities. It is nonsense to speak of chance being an agent of creation, since chance is not a force. "What are the odds of the universe being created by chance? Impossible. Chance is no thing. It is not an entity. It has no being, no power, no force. It can effect nothing because it has no causal power within it. It is a word which describes mathematical possibilities which, by a curious flip of the fallacy of ambiguity, slips into the discussion as if it were a entity with real power, the power of creativity." (R.C. Sproul, Not a Chance. Grand Rapids, MI: Baker, 1999.)
e) The universe is created by nothing. Simply put, nothing created the universe.
- The problem here is that it is either a repetition of option "a" (the universe is eternal) or fails due to the irrationality of "d." In our current universe, the law of cause and effect cannot be denied by sane people. While we often don't know what the cause of some effect is, this does not mean that there was no cause. When we go to the doctor looking for an explanation for the cause of our neck pain, we don't accept the answer "There is no cause. It came from nothing."
Yes, Ramakrishna paramahamsa realized god and that's the reason why he preached about god realization. paramahamsa means one who is god realized or one whose soul has attained union with the divine soul.

because people don't care about it
When Adam and Eve realized they were naked and God killed an animal to make coverings for them.
She realized God was with her and her family during the Holocaust.
Absolutely! Music is how many people express and find themselves! When I am in a place in my life where I need to be brought back to God music is how I do it.
It is possible Paul realized it when he was struck blind on the way to Damascus and God spoke to him.
dnyani/jnani=informed/wise/ also it means god-realized in a sense of the word
The best way to get over someone is to get under someone else. OH my god i just realized what that meant. Oh my god, scratch that!-Karen
A man of God is he who practices the deeper realizations of his own identity with the infinite consciousness. A Self-realized master who expresses a greater portion of his or her own God-potential through that deep inner communion with God called Samadhi would be classed as a Saint or Man or Woman of God.
super-consciousness is what we call self-realization......... it is the highest position a person can attain to reach god...... it means that the person who has attained this stage has realized that the god is in yourself and resides inside you.........
It was after eating the fruit, Adam and eve realized that they were naked and hid from God.
