God and Human Hand

A particular religious person believes that god belongs to a certain types of idol or place or whatever means. Every religious place usually, there will be some religious regulatory body which is termed as trust, which takes care the faith of the people and the functioning of temple/mosque/church as a system. they defined the methods to worship, type of donations, utilizations of those endowment. they decide that who will enter ? how he will enter? and how much time is allotted to see the idols or etc. If I consider that every action that each human being is taking is the will of a god than probably that the actions of those people are also the god's will.. so it means that the God itself/himself/herself wanted to be played /controlled by the human hands.
Whenever somebody talks about the God, most of the time a question goes across my mind, where is God? how does it/he/she look like? is that possible to feel the god by our limited senses? and if he is the only who taking care of the whole planet who has given that authority to the god?or itz just a illusionary thought of a human way back in to the past that we couldn't under stand the randomness of this cosmos and the things Which was beyond our understanding termed as god's will and we create the invisible identity which take cares of the those randomness.
In this context i remember a book "The Black Swan" wrote by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, i will not take the full reference but the Philosophy behind that book which talks about the uncertainty related to world economy and the events those are considered as accidents, couldn't be predicted well before they happened, as like till we were not aware of black swan, and no body could predict that a black swan would be possibly exist on this planet if someone speaks about the swan we immediately imagine a picture of white swan. same as most of the accidents (in the economics of in physical world) occurred couldn't be predicted well before and even if they have been predicted, people couldn't prevent the after effects of those accidents,
And thats how term of "God" comes into the picture that whatever either we couldn't Predict or cant Prevent is something over us as an identity of god and he take cares of those uncertainty and the human hands made the god's manifestation in terms of idol/place or whatever means by which the human believes that some body is there as god and his hand is over us to protect and prosperous us.
But the question still exist where is god's hand? or is there Human hand on god at ever religious places.

True, God comes into picture only when things seem uncontrollable by humans otherwise, we as human always say that 'I' did that. When we become prey we start saying that God did it and where is he? Perhaps this kind of questioning makes us humans.

Certainly it is a big dilemma. If anybody want to be in any religious places ( specifically Hindu temple as per my exp.), he/she can plan & go as per scheduled time but cannot predict the end time of “ DARSHANA ”. Nowadays, it is very difficult to visit any religious place. You should have enough time, money and the last but not least THE PATIENCE. The last element play a key role to be succeed in your project “DARSHANA”. It is a project because it needs planning and scheduling ( requires only money & time) and controlling also. But in this case this is different as controlled by others ( require a lot of patience).
All in all we cannot go to GOD place anytime, we wait for off-season so that each elements are in our hand and happily we finish our Darshana.
