It has been told by Sri Madhvacharya (13th Century), one of the prominent philosophical leaders of India, that "Wondrous multitude is this world, extensively vivid is this world and by virtue of these, the creator is par-excellent, infinite and powerful". This praise denotes the unimaginable qualities of God i.e. Creation, Sustenance, Operation, Destruction, Typified living etc. Hindu Vedanta (Essence of eternal knowledge) propounds that this magnificent world runs on effect & cause phenomenon.

In literal aspect, such people are being called as “Theists”. Those, who have an exactly opposite thought process, are called as “Atheists”. Theism and Atheism have not born in this contemporary timeframe, but are existing from the first day of creation. [...]
[...] Peace is not a physical activity. But, without this, human kind cannot survive. It is our daily experience that the peace cannot always be achieved through physical means. At times, we might be living in a lavish, fully furnished house in the middle of a high-end locality with an army of attendants at beck & call. But, we still remain restless and with a feel of losing something. On contrary, we might be living in a hamlet, in a hut, devoid of all physical comforts like bed, TV, mobile, computer etc. [...]
