Righteous character and moral acts of Lord Rama, disposition of love and serenity unveiled by Jesus Christ, noble path treaded and preached by Gautama Buddha, etc.,-- all convey one great fact i.e., God is the embodiment of goodness vis-a-vis Goodness personify the God. We have been worshiping them as ‘the incarnation of God,’ despite their historical existence as human beings. In modern era, while Mother Teresa has been honored with beatification for her selfless service and charity, M K Gandhi is adored as Mahatma (means great soul) for showing the world the path of Satyagraha (truth and non-violent as means to achieve justified end). They are all honored as equal to God due to their conviction and perseverance in the noble path manifested by righteous character, ethical conduct, love and serenity. Several such good human beings can be found across ages venerated as a saint or prophet or god. They stand for goodness and affirm the faith that every splendid human being is a God.
