Generation, Operation, Destruction: the cycle of life many call God (G.O.D.)


God

In the vastness of the universe, permeated by the complexity of existence, a universal pattern emerges that weaves the fabric of life in its most diverse forms. The incessant cycle of creation, maintenance and transformation, which some call God (GOD), reveals itself as the intrinsic essence of all existence. It is a phenomenon that echoes from the ends of the cosmos to the most intimate thoughts of every being.



The Eternal Dance of Existential Stages


Everything in life follows a predetermined course: a beginning, middle and end. Existence itself seems to dance to the rhythm of a cosmic melody, manifesting itself in the three fundamental stages - Generation , Operation and Destruction . Each stage, in turn, presents challenges and nuances that define the existential experience.



1. Creation (Brahma): The Origin of All Existence


At the initial stage, we are architects of our own destinies. Creation, whether it is the conception of an idea, a life or a cause, represents the initial spark that ignites the flame of existence. The challenges lie in the need for imagination, courage and perseverance to shape something from nothing. Those who face this stage with resilience become true artisans of their own narrative.



2. Maintenance (Vishnu): The Art of Preserving and Sustaining


In the second act, the operation comes into play. Here, we are called to care for and preserve what we create. Maintaining existence requires discipline, responsibility and understanding of the complexities involved. The ability to face everyday challenges with equanimity and adaptability becomes crucial. At this stage, the individual becomes a zealous administrator of their own reality.



3. Transformation (Shiva): Constant Rebirth


In the last act, destruction does not imply annihilation, but rather transformation. The death of a star gives rise to new elements, just as the end of a phase in life opens the way to new opportunities. Those who embrace transformation understand that it is often necessary to get rid of the old to make room for the new. Destruction, in this context, is the precursor to perpetual rebirth.

Adaptation: Navigating the Divine Cycle


At each stage, an individual's journey is shaped by their ability to adapt and evolve. To embrace creation requires courage and imagination. Operation demands responsibility and discipline, while transformation requires acceptance and flexibility. Those who understand and adjust to each stage find themselves more aligned with the individual divine cycle that many call God (GOD).

The Final Question: Are We Divine Like God?


Faced with this incessant cycle, the question arises: Are we, as individual beings, really different enough to escape this universal pattern? Or are we, in fact, reflections of the generator, operator and destroyer itself, actively participating in the cosmic dance that shapes the fabric of existence?


Perhaps, as we question our divinity, we will discover that we are an integral part of this eternal cycle - a living expression of the divine that permeates the entire universe.
