HE/HIM is “God, The Almighty”. I often hear such questions for which I don’t have any answer. I am not a person of great knowledge nor did I read any great books, but I can surely say that we can experience HIS presence in every activity we do.
Few years back, while I was on my way to office I happen to witness a huge accident. A car has hit the road divider and 3 of them suffered bad injuries. Immediately there was an ambulance, police etc doing the necessary actions. I just looked on and moved my way to office. But somehow I was very disturbed with the entire scene and I recalled it was the ambulance of hospital near my office. So I immediately googled the number and called them. Upon enquiry, I got to know that one of the patients is badly injured and needed blood transfusion. I immediately rushed to hospital to check if I can donate and fortunately it matched my group. I could donate one unit of 3 units he needed.
When I came out of the room, I could sense the gratitude of the family members. One elderly lady blessed me and immediately she looked up, bought her palms together and said, “Oh Lord, you exist”. At that moment the happiness I got in saving a life was immense. That was the moment when I sensed the presence of God. That was my first blood donation and it goes on till now.
For me HE is not the Naughty Krishna, Mighty Rama, Glorious Venkateswara, Bhole Baba, Allah or Jesus but it is my fellow human. I see HIM in their smile, in their tears and in their prayers. So I ignore all words shooted at me like “You are emotional”, “You have ‘May I help U’ on your forehead” blah blah blah. My help is someone’s answer to their prayers and I don’t want to miss it.

Who knows, if we keep on questioning God, He might
reply,”Come up my dear, I will answer.”
So be ready to either go up to see Him
or
just go around helping the deserving as much as we can inorder to sense Him :) :)
Cheerio,
