Q40. Does everything we have come from God?

Yes, we have the same qualities that God has, but in a minute quantity. We have a form, because God has a form. We are beautiful to some degree, because God is most beautiful. We are powerful to some degree, because God is most powerful. We have some knowledge, because God has all knowledge. We have some intelligence, because God has all intelligence. We are merciful to some degree, because God is most merciful. We love to some degree, because God is all loving.

We are peaceful to some degree, because God is most peaceful. We are caring to some degree, because God is most caring. We can remember some things from our childhood because God can remember everything from every individual’s past. “I am the origin of the whole creation. Everything emanates from Me. The wise worship Me [Krishna] with devotion.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 10.8) “The whole cosmic manifestation is working under My direction. Producing the moving and nonmoving. (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 9.10)
