I have been thinking from a lot of days or probably months to write about this, but but but, it took a little while for this lazy bugger to put it on paper(mail).
Lord vinayaka is my favorite god for reasons I can never think of. But, I even worship all the other hindu gods my parents worship. I really like stories about each god. They will all be really fascinating, captivating, gripping, charming, etc etc *ing.
I don’t know from when, but suddenly I started getting convinced that all those gods and all their stories ARE ALL COMPLETE FICTION created by some great great writers for what ever reasons GOOD or BAD.
But, even after that I still pray in front of their idols in the morning, occasionally go to their temples, actively participate in all the pujas my family does, go all pilgrimages with them all without any complaints.
I again started thinking why am I doing all those if I am fully convinced that it is all fiction. Following are the answers I could get:
- My mother will not leave me if I do not follow them J
- But, to my surprise, the main reasons I was doing all those as I was enjoying them.
- Every day after finishing the bath, go and stand in front of those beautiful/peaceful/ever-smiling/ever-blessing idols:
- I feel real cool.
- Close your eyes and pray for some time. You will feel relieved. And your whole heart feels light.
- Okay, then why do I enjoy pilgrimages and pujas:
- Above reasons still hold good.
- Other main reason is due to the family I think. It’s normally little difficult to get all ur family together doing the same without any external thoughts(not even TV J ). But these are the times, I think we all sit and get a feel of togetherness. I really like that feeling and hence enjoy these also.
- Other reasons for liking pujas is the whole environment is made so delightful, devotional, divine that I again feel happy.
- And new places and picnics are always enjoyable ;-)
- Some other philosophical thoughts I’ve:
- Even though, the story about that particular god may not be true, but when I pray him, it means that I am praying someone powerful who is definitely responsible for the existence of everything/anything and even nothing. No way I can compete with him and I have to pray him for all reasons.
- When ever I succeed, it’s all because of me J. But when I fail, I need someone else to blame(actually we sometimes give our 200% and still fail. The only logical reason I find for that is him. This is world works on too many random happenings that we can’t always plan ur success.) [at least I think so]
- Other very interesting question, I many times think of is “Does GOD exist?”
- U should be really stupid, if you say there is no one powerful than man and everything got created on it’s own. Everything definitely can’t come out of nothing. Come on,,
- Yes. 2H2 + O2 = 2H20. Man has found this equation and that’s how water is formed.
- But, why the hell should the result be 2H20???????(unless someone had made it so)
- I think, man is just discovering the rules which are written by someone(something or somesome) . He has never invented(I mean created) anything.
- But then who created that powerful someone/something/somesome??????????????????????????????[I get mad here. Hope u 2 get mad L]
- Okay, now I agree that GOD exists, but still I am not sure if that GOD is same as the religions promise(At least the religions I’ve been seeing):
- Will he fulfill our wishes if we go and ask him? [But, if god has created us, then why should he wait for us to ask him. He should definitely be generous enough to grant all our wishes directly. Waiting till the devotee asks is not a good attribute for god!!!(at least I think so)
- Why are some people lucky and some not?
- Does everyone’s life will be balanced with both good and bad?
- WHY THE HECK SHOULD GOD CREATE US AND WATCH US SUFFER OR ENJOY? WHAT IS THE NEED MAN??
- If I am a creator, would I really care about things we create and their feelings ,,etc [ do we feel sorry for our programs if they go and crash customer machines? Everyone would’ve definitely broken their toys(need not be beautiful one. Any thing we play with in childhood). Do we feel anything for those toys?
With all these, I am sure I am not conclusive!!!!!!
Just thought of putting it to written(typed J) form once. Finished it. That’s it. Cool.
Best way to lead the life is to lead the way u want.
- U find happiness in praying the god. Go ahead do it.
- U find happiness in blaming the god. Go ahead do it.
- U find happiness in dying for the nation. Go ahead do it.
- U find happiness in violence. Go ahead do it. (But, there will be many others who will find happiness in giving it back 2 u. Be prepared for it then. J)
- U find happiness in not doing anything. Go ahead do it J
- Go ahead do it. Go ahead do it.
- Go ahead do it. Go ahead do it.
I am now going ahead doing it, but what makes me happy???[Again a thousand answersJ ]
Cheers,
Santhosh
