Religion

When Religion becomes ridicule
I would really like to meet the person who first thought of following someone. How pure his feelings would have been, to follow someone who is not visible, whom u cannot sense, smell or feel. How difficult it would have been to convince others so that they can also think alike and follow the divine power.
Now when I think it is so easy for a person to convince someone to blindly follow in what he says. Now it’s no more about GOD rather now it has come to power.
While coming back from office I saw a mob standing right in the middle of the road yelling on people to change their way just because they were about to take out a rally around the city.

There in crowd was a boy 12-13 years old, wearing ragged cloth which was barely able to cover his lean body. He was holding a flag in one hand and a naked belt in the other. Shouting at the vehicles coming by, his eyes were so bright that by seeing them you can make out the amount of energy he was feeling at that very moment. That energy was not there because he was devoted to his so called “GOD”. It didn’t have even a single seed of divineness in it. It was all because that boy was now able to feel the power in his hands, same hands which might have washed utensils for years or which might have repaired vehicles were now able to control the traffic in any which way they want.

How can a person who is not able to gather his living properly can devote himself in some so called “HOLY” cause. Well according to me this can happen in two ways. One way is when he is so depressed that he has left everything on GOD and takes everything as it comes by thinking that GOD will change his days one day. But this kind of person cannot indulge in any such act of defying the rules. Second way is when a person is made to sense the power of GOD, he is made to feel that he has to do something for GOD. He is provided with power in his hands and told to serve for the ONE. Yes this can be a person who can decide to serve in the same manner as that boy did for his so called “ALMIGHTY”.

In our country when we talk about democracy and freedom there is no big fool than we ourselves. We are the world biggest democracy but I’m very sorry to say this that we might be the world’s first democracy which is becoming slave because of its own conformity. We are so divided within ourselves that when preamble states “WE THE PEOPLE OF INDIA” it seems so very gloomy. Sometimes I feel it should be like “I THE HINDU/MUSLIM/SIKH/CHRISTIAN OF INDIA”. We are not living with the feeling of oneness then why the hell should we pretend like one. We are not happy when our neighbors buy a big car, we are not glad when one of our friend is earning more than us, we don’t show courtesy to the one who we think is smaller in position rather even if someone does so we laugh. This is the way we are born and brought up. This is what we have learnt from our parents, our friends and our society. We pray to GOD to protect us from all evil, save us from all miseries always keep his hand on us. Why don’t we pray that whatever you have given is more than enough we don’t need this much, we can survive in this world with a handful of daily bread so GOD rest all you can give to the one who is needy.

I don’t know how am I writing this when I myself is so much corrupt. It might be my frustration which is coming out and by writing this I am again satisfying my own greed to downpour some of my aggravation.
