Belated Happy Diwali!
A lot of our lives revolve around festivals. And well, they are very welcome. Welcome because I think they give a good break. A good excuse to skip homework ("There was a puja yesterday"). And some good fun with the guests. But to think of the underlying hypocrisy...
The altruists, the business men, the police men, the criminals, the thieves- all celebrate the same festivals the same way. Now, festivals are supposed to be those days when something grand happened in mythology or just a day charted out by the constellations (or whatever astrology goes behind it) when we worship more than we do normally. But then it is surprising that all kinds of people pray for the same thing, regardless of their deeds. Now now there is another topic that I do not want to touch here. But to make the understanding of my thoughts clearer, I would say this. I not going to start speaking of karma nor am I going to talk of Godly existence. But I just wanna say that the supreme power that governs the universe must not be blind to the deed record of someone. And that is clear in most situations. Now I should return to the hypocrisy or else my creepy-over-age-philosophy will... become creepy.
So yeah, even the most corrupt of ministers and the most brutal of murderers pray for more money or I don't know ...more victims?? And I don't think that the God they are worshiping fulfills their wishes based on the sweets they offer or the money they give in the temples(which finally goes God DOESN'T know where).
God does not want people to fight in her name. God does not want the destruction of her creations unnecessarily. If only we understood.
MYD

Oh my god...there is no god...or missing in action?
ReplyDeleteGod is the energy running your body and soul ...it is not something sitting above who is the judge of right and wrong.Religiousness is a disease ...spirituality is the real thing.
ReplyDeleteLots of ambitions all around....if not fullfilled lead to lot of frustrations....who is to blame? God of course
ReplyDelete@Eshaan I never said that there is no God. We all see God in different forms. For me it is what I like to call the "supreme power". For me the idea of God is not twelve figures sitting in Olympus or the lot of Gods in Hindu mythology. And this a trite saying,that God is one, but I believe it is true. We worship whom we believe. My God is probably not the same as yours. But the whole point is whoever the God and whoever the human, we all pray for the same.
ReplyDeleteHow could you believe in something you have never seen....you just imagine a form and start worshipping it...I see people begging in front of their imagined gods....none of them really pray
ReplyDeleteI like how God is a she. Little things...
