GOD - a myth? - Part 1



GOD - a myth? - Part 1
Don't know why some of us keep thinking this! This is one of those things that we often tend to give a second thought before putting up for a debate or discussion. We all like to keep this thought within ourself! Dirty minds...its none of those I am talking about...I am talking about GOD - The Creator...From our childhood in India we are given quite a good base on this...whatever happens our parents teach us to keep faith...to keep thinking God will come to save you...GOD - The Saviour...

It is almost 11 years now since I started to think seriously about this subject..many of my close ones know very well that I am not THAT pious a person...Just to avoid confusion that may arise reading this blog...please understand that I am unimportant...but everyone needs to get heard so...think about my words...not about me or what made me write this...

Will type in a story to start with...also these stories are from somebody's life as always...then will go to my thoughts

Few years back, say about 12-13yrs back there was a boy who was not that good at studies but used to get the grades required to pass through...this boy had a secret power...nothing much but the gift of short term memory that we all Indians are blessed with during the exam days...The only difference was his was a very short term one...he used to wake up early morning on the exam days and read his lessons and seems like it was working for him...during those days in some Indian Temples there were some pujas or say kind of prayers held which would help the kids to excel in studies...so this guys parents asked him to go to that temple during the exam days early morning as early as 5am and pray to GOD...and be there with GOD during those early morning prayers to get blessed to have the brains...poor kid...had no choice...obeyed his parents...later when results came the family got the shock of their lives...kid couldn't secure good grades...why? who knows? ha ha...If the kids parents understood that the kid would have done better if he was allowed to study during those early hours rather than wishing and waiting for godly grace things would have been different...

When the result came there was no GOD seen around...there was no GOD MAN seen around...only thing that was said is some star running in wrong direction..poor kid! how he knows that stupid star is gonna screw him up badly...lol..

Why we keep thinking GOD is going to come to help us...is going to come to keep us succeeding? Why should we be successful? There is no state like all are successful...whatever it is life or game...I do know success means different for different people...but still...why u and me keep thinking G' will help us? Why? Are we doing that good that G' is tempted to help us? All of us might have thought of something that we need to change in life and keep thinking G' will help us to change it or hope it works out?
When we go to our prayer halls...we keep praying...I want this...I want that...all such stuff...how many of u there can say I pray for the world...or say the poor guys next door...u might think why should you? Right? ok think about the fact that those people who die without even getting a simple piece of bread for weeks together..don't they pray? Then why G' never heard that?...U think they had done some sin that was unforgiveable than urs? Then why they died of hunger? why peasants kill themself just because there is no rain?

Do you think all these happen because G' doesn't want to help them...if he was there why should he neglect them? comment ur good reason!...How many days could you neglect your own kid crying beside you...how long? hrs ? mins? secs? there goes...u know if you where around or unless u r the reason for the kid to cry you would surely make him happy or stop him from that...so there comes two possibilities...either u r not there or u r the reason for him to cry...


Please note that the honour of being G' is blessed to u now through my example...consider it as G' whenever I term U

Lets use these two possibilities to explore further...
1. You not there or G' doesn't exist
When the kid knows that you are not there still you think the kid won't cry...he will cry..why he cries? He cries because he has hope...he thinks somewhere somehow you will hear him...that hope makes him cry...cry out loud until he gets the feeling that there is no point in being so stupid...How many times in our life we have cried out like this to G'...eventhough there is no presence u still believe that is HOPE...this is one important thing that makes our life so enjoyable...so enriching...the Hope of a better tomorrow!
But in life what happens by the time we realize there is no point in crying out loud rather than doing our duty it would be too far from reality...

My suggestion to you all is that don't keep waiting that someone will come in life to get things right for you...the feeling of that someone supernatural is great...encouraging...but just for a moment think the other way...when u know there is nobody coming to help you out...to pull u off from danger is equally scaring as encouraging it was the other way...but there is one thing that we must not leave unnoticed in the second part...the very good thing of performing...to do ur best whatever it is...work...love or life...there is no 50% help that G' would give u...until u perform ur 100% nothing is going to work ur way...this is what each of us needs to learn...to have faith and hope is good for mind during a nice sleep...life is not a dream...its real...u need to do your part fully to succeed. I am not promoting anything here...this is to live ur life...to live ur dream...its good to have faith...but make sure it doesn't decide ur fate...I know all of you might disagree with me...but somewhere inside u might still give it a thought... :-)

2. You make him cry or G' Exist but ruins
When you make ur kid cry...it is true for sometime you may not try to calm him/her down...because either ur guilt or u feel he/she deserved it...but again...how long will u act so? there is always a limit...max say 1day...afterwards? So that is again the same thing I told above...if u know u have made him cry u know eventhough u might be ok with the fact that he is crying loud...but can't live with it for long...that is the so self explanatory about the existence of G'...read above...once more to explain more on that...

This whole blog is not against any religion or any community or caste...this is just the other side of the story that we are happily part off...in case you find this offensive please understand that I myself is a believer or in my words keeps faith and hopes for a good tomorrow...but this is only to help you all to HOPE FOR BEST AND PREPARE FOR THE WORST! There is no harm in believing or praying to G' but equally important should be to perform ur duties to ur best hoping no one else will fill your gap...I am not concluding anything just because my next blog will be on the same topic but unlike this trailer which gives a high level view...next one would be drilling to lots of facts to think about and also feelings from few pious lives!

Thanks for reading my blogs...keep reading...next blog on...GOD - a myth? Part 2...

  3. "How many days could you neglect your own kid crying beside you...how long?" - Imagine having 7 billion kids. Which one of them would you take care of?

    Interesting take on 'HOPE'. I share the same sentiments.

  4. I think G is always misunderstood. I think god hardly plays any part in your life, it's you who decide what should happen in your life and depending on the situation how you should react to it. Mistakes made should be considered as a lesson learnt and live our future by avoiding those. But as you said a hope is what keep us moving ahead, and I too hope for better tomorrow where people believe in themselves for their actions & reactions and rather in GOD.

    1. G is what you make out of him/her...G is what you want him to be...G is what you are!

The Day - Ayodhya

The much awaited 22-Jan is here and the whole India is galloping towards Ayodhya. Once again it is time to cherish the return of the King who once ruled the heart of this young nation India. While the praja(common folks) are busy preparing the Ayodhya for the much awaited prathistha(consecration), the emperor, his family and associates are preparing for the big day. The complete ownership of the pandal readiness had been given to Laxman who seems to be taking support of his cousins for driving the creativity, ensuring a pleasing colorful stage, altar and seating area. We could hear the thump of an old bullet which is moving towards us in a predictable pace. Few of my friends told me it can only be the man of the moment who takes pride in owning the responsibility of security for the whole event and who is more than capable to protect the Lord himself. Yes, I am talking about Hanuman who was riding his vintage bullet towards the pandal where me and others were eagerly helping out Laxman

What is success?

Of course, we all agree that the word success definitely means different to many of us. We hardly get time to think in detail in our life about success that we reach the end of course. We have heard that writing a journal, having a plan, sticking to plan and doing many such actions help us get closer to success. But again, something that can’t be done regularly gets useless action either ways and we stray.  I would need you to relax a bit before we go through this topic together. Yes, it means getting your favorite coffee, keeping kids busy, finishing your chores and all those untold busy things that you are needed for, and finally arrive at a time where you can read this. I know that is where I lose most of the people who want to read it as that time never comes. But unlike other topics, this one need us to be truthful to ourselves. Let’s start with an exercise of writing down what success means to us. Top 3 things you want in your life or you to be associated with each decade of your

What’s real in real estate?

  A dream house is a dream that most of the people currently living on Planet Earth carries. We grow up seeing how our parents put together all their life’s earnings or a significant portion of it in making a house. Mankind takes this dream of having their own separate shelters wherever they are. The word settling has been closely associated with having your own house. People feel life is well settled once a house is acquired. Remember our forefathers would have started from sharing a cave together with others, a tree shed with others, a large abode with extended and joint families, a house boat with others wherever they were thousands of years ago. As we disintegrated and got more nuclear our shelter needs continued to grow and reach an ever granular need of one house for each family to multiple houses per family. The society had tagged respect to the amount of property one holds and often believe that is the show of wealth that determines one’s value among the peers. In 2024, we need
