The Spiritual Import of the Mahabharata and the Bhagavadgita : Ch-8. Part-9.
8. In Harmony with the Whole Universe :
Part-9.
What are the characteristics of God?
They are creation, preservation, destruction.
Now these are the primary attributes, together with the great attributes of omniscience, omnipotence and omnipresence.
God creates, God preserves and God destroys.
But this theological concept of God being the Creator, Preserver and Destroyer has many subtle implications which have created the huge science of theology, which also creates the subtle differences in theological doctrines of the various religions of the world.
If we read the theological dogmas of various religions, we will find they differ, one from the other.
Every religion describes the process of creation in a peculiar manner of its own.
