This is a question that everyone has at present. Everyone who did not see gods have the question about their existence. They think whether the deities exist or not? In order to answer this question, we need to learn what the wisest person of the world, the Gautama Buddha, told us about it. Therefore, let us see what Buddha taught us about the existence of the deities.

One day, a Brahmin named Sangārava of the Bhāradvaja clan asked a question from Buddha.

“Dear Gautama Buddha, is there any gods?”

“Dear Bhāradvaja, the fact of whether the deities exist or not are something I have witnessed.”

“Dear Gautama Buddha, why did you answer me as ‘Dear Bhāradvaja, the fact of whether the deities exist or not are something I have witnessed’ when I asked you about their existence?’ Why Dear Gautama Buddha? Was the fact of the existence of deities a lie?”

“Dear Bhāradvaja, if a person says ‘yes’ when someone asks him whether the deities exist or not, and he further says that he know their existence, then a wise person should believe and come to a final decision of the existence of them by confirming the fact that ‘there are deities’.

“Dear Gautama Buddha, why didn’t you tell it to me at first?”

“Dear Bhāradvaja, isn’t the existence of the deities a well-known fact in this community?”

It should be clear to you that almost everyone aspects the existence of deities in this world. The Supreme Buddha himself also verified it. In fact, that was what Buddha tried to clarify in this discussion.
