GOD DOES NOT SPEAK ENGLISH

God does not speak English.  Yet we continually pray to him as if he understands what we are saying.  The reason we do this is because God appears to answer our prayers, at times, at least.
 
But, now, what if it is not God answering our prayers but someone else, an assistant maybe?  And what if that someone else turns out to not speak English either, or so we can only conclude because our prayers are answered even less often than with God?

Well, then, maybe God does not speak English well; it is a second language to him.  Still, God does not speak at all, we remind ourselves,  which is to say, he does not speak any languages, which is to say, he does not comprehend what anyone says.  He hears our words but does not know what they mean.

It is here that we get to the truth of it.  God does not speak English, or any other language, because he does not need to.  He knows what we are going to say, what is in our hearts, well before we say it.  This is because, as Vedanta teaches, he is us.
