AB Human language is and will always remain imperfect and vague in expressing the infinite mystery and richness of God. Nevertheless, it is possible to speak of God. From time immemorial human beings have gazed upon the mystery of life, death and birth with wonder and considered them as belonging to the divine realm which is beyond human control and is permeated by an invisible power- a Pneuma, Spirit. In religions where there is no clear and definite notion of a personal god, say for instance, in Hinduism, the powers and elements of nature with their massive and irresistible impact have influenced the human mind in raising its religious and divine consciousness.
