GOD!

For few, it is, “A three letter word that holds the meaning for everything.” For few, “A meaningless three letter word, stumbling the progress of man’s intellect.” You know what. Every individual grown enough to speak out his/her mind, has his/her own beliefs about God. One completely believes in Him. One may completely believe in Him, but not the rituals and idols to worship Him. The other is one who is completely against the existence of God.

Though I am absolutely against the prevalent superstitions in the worshipping of God, I still have strong belief that the sacred books and the basic morales of a religion, left behind by our ancestors aren’t just eye-washers. The message they say stood right, in their age. They are standing apt today. They will be so in the days to come.

The epics told to us, about various religions cannot be just set aside as folk tale, because they are out-dated or also because they don’t bear proper evidence to please us. Who knows? There may not be ‘any’ evidence for our mere existence some 100,200 years later. I recently came across a saying,” If prayer had no meaning, it would not have withstood so many generations.” It is true. Something that is not true, cannot survive so many years. For, only ‘truth’ can outlive change.

It is not that I want you to blindly believe in the words of our ancestors, but that I wish all of us could try to heed to them with some respect.

Any religion in its true spirits, is meant to give peace within the soul. That peace is one which is to be experienced and can’t be explained. Just as pain, air, smell can be felt but cannot be expressed or seen. Well, prayer may not be meant to be a continuous list of wants alone, but can actually be a serious desire for understanding the self. It cannot be done by nothing. All it requires is concentration and will, the path for which, a religion can offer you.

I am reminded of my daily routine, of gazing at the morning sun, when I speak of God! I wonder at the rays that pass through the green leaves, leaving them tinted with their colour. It is a marvel to watch. And not to mention the rain. The clouds. The ants. The soil. The planets. The sky. The tree. Water. The human body and mind. Everything.

It would be considered too egoistic if I said ALL things around me, happen because of scientific reactions, whose origins are ‘unknown(?!!)’. Science can define everything around us and our own self. But, one important thing we should never forget is, “Science and technology can never bring us peace, when used for destructive purposes. They should be ‘used’ for our betterment and never should they become a part of us.”

Let us just sit back and close our eyes and feel the energy flowing within ourselves, bountifully. For, God is within everybody. All we need is to acknowledge Him.
