(This is called as Tri-puti). In Bhagavadgita - 18.18 this is dealt in detail - read with multiple commentaries. You'd need a bit of Linguistic understanding to go deep in this. This sloka has many "Goodartha" deep/ hidden meanings.

"I am still speechless on my childs answer and have started searching for God in Humans instead of statues. -- A good story which I read today. Not sure whether this has been penned by an agnostic or atheist. But forms a good question for discussion. What do you all think about this?
