Their school arranged a visit to all these religious places but my sons year did not go. The questionnaire was actually given to the children to do in the class. I only got his book after his academic year has ended.
The questions have sparked a lot of brain cracking on my part as he asked me those questions without telling me that it was given to him in the class. The page is blank which means he did not know what to write as an answer. The teacher has not supplied any answers either.
The best I could explain to him is that God is one, but in the start people were in their own regions and there was no migration. Therefore they all followed the same religion. When people started mixing, their religious places started too.
God is one... ik on kaar... was taken by him with loads of debate. One day when we were sitting in the Guradwara he pointed to the 4 giani sahibs and asked me one simple question.... Mum please tell me which one of them is God!!!!!
So it led to an explanation of how God is like the air, cannot be seen and he is all powerful.
The next day, I was trying to listen to a video on Why we need to fear God. I told him... I am a bit busy now I am watching a video on why we need to fear God. Well, he was impatient, so we went to jump on the trampoline. Then he said to me... i finally have understood God. We need to fear him because he's got really big teeth... if you are not careful he may come and bite you.
I tried hard not to crack up... but the main question is ... no one really has the answers as to what God is. Everyone understands according to what is revealed to them. However we all seek him, angels and men alike.
