Who is the most powerful one?

A disciple and a master were going on a pilgrimage in northern India. Tired, they sat on a big rock under a tree. After a while disciple asked the master, “Dear Sir, this rock is so hard and strong. What could be stronger than this rock?”
“Iron, my son. Iron can cut the rocks and hence is stronger than the rock.”
“Hmm.... what could be stronger than iron, Sir?”
“Well, fire can melt the iron. So, you can consider fire to be more potent than the iron.”
“You are right. Is there anything more potent than the fire.”
“You can say that water can pacify the fire, so water can be considered as more powerful than the fire.”
The disciple thought for a moment and then said, “In that case, wind can even lift the water to the clouds. So air should be considered as more powerful than the water.”

God is much more than a concept

All the religions of the world contributed    a lot to the social, spiritual and wholesome upliftment of humankind. Religions taught us the importance of leading a pious life. Religions taught us the importance of speaking the truth, being honest, being kind, being helpful, respecting each other and many other such virtues. Religions taught us to believe in a power much higher than us, the God. Religions gave a platform to the human race to come together in remembrance of God, pray and express our gratitude to the Supreme Being. Religions brought the people of same faith together.
