Does GOD Exist ?

Welcome again. A sweet transformation from social to ethical to spiritual writing. Today I would like to question 'The Existence Of GOD'. Over the years of my imagination (which most of the times seemed useless) about GOD's existence I could somehow realize proximity towards truth of what it has in its conclusion. Its very hard to overcome the age old thrusting of my parents to believe in god. As it is, it had just became a routine kind of thing without base knowledge or supportive logical knowledge.

Yesterday I read a very beautiful article on Abhiram sir's blog - elekhan (देव नाही देवालयी !). It then came to me as an inspiration to put forward my thoughts.

I don't want to prove existence of god but surely like to measure its presence. Now the only non destructive thing till date in this world is GOD. No wonder but no one has ever come up with such an idea to showcase (must be fear of god...lol). The previous post - Blind Faith has a strong co-relativity with this one but in a positive sense. We generally say... We have faith in god but
what is he?
where does he reside?
why is he so strong?
etc.etc. ...This questions keep on haunting me every time I hear this line. This is blind faith.

Lets analyze: When do we say 'I have faith in god'?
Condition 1: When we try to be overoptimistic of getting something which is always in 10% : 90% ratio. As always 10% being on our side.
Condition 2: May be we are waiting for a miracle in our favor. (You can see this in almost every bollywood film with few exceptions though...)
Condition 3: May be when we are in deep trouble and there are no ways left to get over it. (Imagine a bollywood hero hanging on a tree on the cliff and murmuring 'bhagwan mujhe bachalo please...')

There may arise many such situations for god to be present when needed. His status changes time to time from doing wrong things to doing right things.

This is one way I can state his presence but being purely personal. I try and elaborate it more from another angle. In morning I met my friend and asked her about gods existence. She replied "I don't know the actual existence but there is something very strong feeling about him. There is a very positive energy which enable few troubles to pass away swiftly. The existence makes my confidence level go heights" and finally she says "I believe in his existence as it makes me strong". Now this made some senses to me. 'Believe it to make you believe yourself'.

Every other person has a different point of view or lookout. As pointed by Abhiram sir in his post, the person feels presence of god in what he gets as reward after completing his work. Similarly, for others god is a person, you hear people saying 'X' person is a god, for our community or our nation. Remember the Hindi song 'Tujhme rab dikhta hai...' resembles the presence of god in our loved ones. I know its a weird example but is a fact. ('Guess m watching too many bollywood films...where are you my almighty ??? '). In our Indian culture husband is 'pati parmeshwar', wife has to treat husband as god and worship him till the end... (I know its... its... OMG :).) So here wife sees god in her husband. Few people consider even work as god. Others see god in their elder ones mostly parents. We even say beautiful nature as being gods presence or even destruction being gods act to balance things. It depends on how people think and take it. I even heard people saying god reside inside us and it portrays out our good side. Maybe true as I cant tear apart my chest to look inside as did by hanumaan to show where lord ram resided in him.

I feel there has to be someone above all and it is GOD himself above to make things work positive. I can even say Fear of god is necessary amongst us so to keep ourselves in limits otherwise this world would have never existed.

Presence of god means a lot as it comes out with modesty, self-inspiration, self-belief, positive attitude and pure satisfaction.

Blind Faith

While writing the previous blog I kinda got a thought of the other side of Faith - The Blind Faith. Sounds more Interesting right??? or say more familiar. You may have already come up with few ideas... so did I. I was wondering for few days for where has this word 'Blind Faith' actually come from. Mabbe this must have its origin in INDIA... lol (You Never Know...).

I personally believe Blind Faith as unrealistic and illogical thing on earth. Blindly believing someone or something... ohhh god!!! ridiculous isn't it? As per my limited knowledge and understanding I tried figuring out few things about blind faith considering Indian culture. Now lets take a look at bizarre breaking news on our news channel (basically u may find every news as breaking news nowadays... BREAKING NEWS: patni ne pati ko khule aam chaata maara...(WTF) followed by media interaction... followed by embarrassment - goschhhh!!! ). The man of the moment, the salacious, the sex guru... Swami Nityaanand... clap clap clap. What did he do??? Don't you know??? Check it out. He guided his followers (mainly women) by making them have physical intercourse with him so that they will get freed from sins... Did I say something that is unbelievable? I guess I did. And yes he did this for years with number of women till the time his MMS video was not online. Was he washing sins or involved in one by making women sleep with him? I was thinking what must he be doing to make them do this cheap act in the name of god. Do this women of India following blind path or having a blind faith? I say he is a very smart guru (guru ghantaal) and his followers are pathetic people on earth. There is another supporter who came in supporting for this guru. He is an actor with initials VO. Great dude the guru hypnotized a gay too. Congrats. Not only the illiterate people but literate population of India is blindly involved in such faith.
Another such act of blind faith came into lights few days back when in a village in which there was a newly born baby being bathed with hot milk keeping the baby on ground just to make sure in future he/she wont face any trouble and freed from sins if any. I know its very much disturbing. But the fact is they are still following it and they do it for every newly born child.
The next act of blind faith. There is another village where they follow one 'dhongee baba' who tells them to throw child from terrace of a building. 2-3 people hold one 3 sqmt by 3 sqmt cloth below on ground. If the thrown baby is catched in that cloth he/she will have a great life ahead and success will touch his/her feet if not then the child is born with a curse. wooopssss... what an unbelievable judgement(of success or curse) man??? mindblowing... Now imagine a child thrown from above 3rd floor... what could I say more of the people following this hopeless act. I mean what kind of blind faith it is? What the baby has to do with it?
Why don't these people try out something like jumping from a terrace of 7-8 storied building and
showing blind faith on god that he is gonna save you anyway?
Again of the black cat crossing the road in front of you. This is the most common one over the centuries. People take it seriously.

There are many such acts going around us. How can these people be mob-motivated than being self-motivated? Why do people greet rumor fallacies? Self-Belief is important, self-faith is important than becoming victims of such blind faith acts.

Just think of this for a moment and ask yourself... "Am I following path of Blind faith?" or "Do I believe in self-belief"

Remember:

'Self-Belief is the best weapon to live courageously.'

Faith

Wondering why I chose this topic but like to share few things. What is the power of faith? I mean having faith in things or for someone or showing faith towards what we do and see. Something inspired me this morning will let you know further about what it was.

FAITH is a belief a strong belief without evidence or proof. Word faith is abundantly and more commonly used term nowadays. "I have faith in you" - used in love (widely used here though), job affairs, moral boosting, in depression, in happiness... I mean everywhere. No doubt it provides strength, provides confidence and self belief. It went on to become a word of trust, a word of making relationship flow smoothly and fairly. It became word of justice, a word of business marketing ( "Have faith in our product, it wont let your penny go worthless" ). It has become the most venerated word over the ages. For in love when two hearts or multiple hearts connect together there is always a string connected with faith. There is no need to tell or show faith in one but it is perennial throughout the time been together.

Faith in GOD is immeasurable. I personally believe
"If you have faith in GOD, you have faith in yourself".
What actually inspired me today was while driving I saw a bike passing by me which had a side mirror(yes correct the mirror that says 'Objects look closer than they appear') with a GOD (Lord Ganesha) picture pasted over in between. Now what happens is whenever he looks in the mirror he sees his idol (Lord Ganesha) picture first and surrounding the rest is his actual intention. I mean doesn't it show faith material in it? Yes it does. There are several examples around us. Look on the desks in office you will see most of them have a picture/photo of GOD. Look in your own wallets you may find one in there. Faith in god is strong and it will be persistent. Respect is a part of faith obviously respect being pure and uncorrupted.

It simply says faith appears to be the best caretaker, the strongest bolster, sweet satisfaction and undisturbed power ...

"Have faith in what you do or else just IGNORE it"

BIG GAMES - Reasonable?

BIG GAMES - Reasonable???

I know its hard to understand the topic, but let me clarify it further and make it clear to understand.

Lets consider few facts. There are thousands of crores of money seem flowing around these days. Caught you!!! you are right its IPL, the big time Indian Premiere League, the player of riches, the GOLD mine. Entertainment, money, glamour and now politics (late but not least) combined together. Things seemed more hypothetical before the late revelations. Nothing matters to common man though as entertainment suffice their needs (and yes the media news are always gossip subjects in and out*).

Two big guns fighting around, one - the business tycoon and other - the twitter friendly politician. Tables turned over last week as businessman played his business mind (maybe a trick) of revealing things and then... what next??? It was but obvious the political power taking a snap pack at the businessman. Remember the new mantra in business and politics:
"You Sue Me, I Sue You. Finally we both get sued and screwed"

What happens now? I tell you - One resigned and other being forced to resign or being fired. Now take a look at the cosmic nature of the IPL. The businessman played his game thrown out dices scored big in numbers made everything so big that no one ever thought of. He played his part very intelligently. The politician(a mentor but who knows?) tried same, came in with partners, broke the auction window but played with less business tactics and went politically wrong. I know its quite confusing sentence but think over it again. It wanted to be simple to earn big but gone totally haywire. Now lets analyze:

- Was it an collusive act from both sides or any of one?
- Is underworld involved in this big/high profiled league?
- Are politicians already involved for making it huge?
- Where is the money flowing actually?
- Is it a conspiracy to remove the businessman from commissioners chair to earn more profit? (Why is he overhead for others btw?)
- Is grilling of businessman justified as soon as politician being in picture and publicly criticized?

The list does not end here for us - the common people. Nothing is transparent for us though. Someone here will take a big undue advantage of whats going wrong. I mean someone has to otherwise how will the business grow finally? I can only say, I am a bee working hard to produce a bottle of honey for my own self and as I earlier stated:
Nothing matters to common man though as entertainment suffice their needs (and yes the media news are always gossip subjects in and out*)... :)

So what do you think? Is it REASONABLE/RATIONAL considering common man, considering us? The outer notion belies of whats going inside.
