I know a 99% of religious people would wanna kill me and send me to burn in hell after reading this..But hey!!..I DON'T CARE!!
Having been on my people-observation spree again...it makes me feel confused if i should be feeling as scared for them as they are for themselves or continue feeling pity for them.With this whole " a million Hindu gods" and " supposed gods from all religions" thing going on , I sometimes wonder what does God's existence really mean to them..When they say " God is one".. do they really mean it or is it just another manipulative behavior to avoid conflict and become ' secular' in the eyes of others?
Well to come down to it, I have been ever confused to picture god in one form and worship that form for life..You may attribute this to be a part of my persona that gets bored very easily ..so much so that I can't even stick to worshiping one form of God..but hey.. this is probably because I have the realization that God is nothing but one's own higher self.
Why is it that we tend to externalize God and treat him like our boss or teachers or parents > doing things 'occasionally' to make him happy, like fasting and not eating onions during navratras?What difference does it really make if you do something daily and refrain from it for a few days? like not eating chicken or onions or grass for that matter!! if its wrong to kill a bird to satisfy your taste buds on a specific day.. is it right to kill it on some other day?? I think not.. its either black or white!!this or that..
Do you really think this is going to please your 'GOD'?? its rather a hypocritical behavioral pattern!!
Its super annoying and overwhelming to see people going to such extreme behavior.. one one hand.. they would worship female child , wash her feet and feed her with prasad on a specific day..and on the other.. a huge percentage of these very people are against having a female child as a part of their family!! is this what our 'god' teaches us? I think not..
and i have often questioned people " would not shaving or shampooing or washing your clothes on a certain day please your god or bring you luck?" and the answer i usually get is" i don't believe in it all.. but it doesn't make a difference to refrain from such things for some time."
IT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO REFRAIN FROM MAINTAINING PERSONAL HYGIENE FOR A WHILE??
How nonsensical could one get.
I feel such people are the most stuck for they want to come out of the shackles of such misbeliefs but are scared and fearful of the unknown, of displeasing the God...Or they are rather too rigid to open themselves to the simplicity and beauty of life.
It makes me feel overwhelmed to see how much fear and nasty stuff people carry in their hearts all their lives, mostly in the name of god or religion.
Ever wondered where does natural justice come from?yes- from god!!
anybody ever seen god??- no!!
then why carry so much fear and guilt and so many distorted thoughts in the name of god and religion and not listen to one's higher self ??
A million questions.. a billion misbeliefs.. and answers?? well 'NONE ' or 'ALL'..are we really making the correct efforts?
