Both inert energy and awareness are not God

God is understood as the basis (adhara) of the universe (Brahma puchcham pratishtha… Veda) and this does not mean that the nature of the basis is understood. Assume that we understand that an object, which alone is visible, is standing on some support but whether the support is a table, or a person or some other object is not visible. In such case we are inferring the existence of something as the support but the nature of the support is not understood. The cosmic energy is independent since the electromagnetic waves have independent identity. But even though it is independent, it cannot act as the designer. The awareness has the designing talent but does not exist independently. If the radiations of awareness or nervous energy exist independently in the space like the independent electro magnetic radiations, scientist could have tapped them and must have used them to raise the dead body, just like the cosmic energy is trapped to recharge a battery. Thus both inert energy and awareness suffer due to these defects and cannot be claimed to be the defect less God.
