Recently I have been reading a lot about the spiritual attitude towards life, and who else than Swami Vivekananda himself was there to guide me through a book named "Vivekananda World Teacher"(btw an amazing book).
Being an Indian I have come a long way in the religion section. Let me explain, my name has a Hindu god's name in it and my mom says I am blessed with that god, and yet she asks me to pray to a female god who will further take care of me.
Confused!!! So am I!
While I took birth there was some other god that my mom was praying and now growing up I have a different god I should pray to, during exams I have a different one and am sure during my marriage ceremony I will have a different one!
No money, pray this god. No Happiness, pray this god. No peace, pray to Buddha! See that's not even a Hindu God, But you understood the point.
Hey now its Diwali, let's pray to Goddess Lakshmi.
Hey now its Ganesh Pooja, let's pray to Lord Ganpati.
Hey now its Durga Pooja, let's pray to Goddess Durga.
Oh, no festival today lets pray all gods together in our home!!!
How convenient it has become that we choose a god to pray like a set of clothes in a closet! I do not disagree or neither complaining, I've been proudly doing that since I was age ZERO!
I was raised by my middle-class parents in a middle-class family, constantly being compared to how I am equal to goddess Lakshmi and how I will bring money and happiness in the family. I was thought to join my hands and stand for prayer or touch my head on the feet of god since I started crawling.
And yes I still do that to my younger siblings, parents find it cute.
Not that I am different, it's just too much put into our brains that we function in a way. Later comes when we fear God and this is a place I never wanted to be. It's difficult. After all, I pray to god because I feel a sense of satisfaction and comfort in telling god all the crap that I do and ask for forgiveness.
Now once I start fearing god I would never make a mistake ultimately making me not try anything new or take a new experience, although am sure God doesn't want me to do this.
We now choose days to eat nonveg, I am always like"It is Thursday today, I won't eat Nonveg!" What if I am in a different timezone and its Wednesday there but in India its Thursday. Now should I still spare that free meal I am getting because I went out on a date??? See its all about CONVENIENCE!
In that case, I am a fan of Christians I mean the religion overall, either you are an atheist or you are a preacher there is no choice! In the end, you are not scared you go there confess and just open up! You have one person to follow you are not confused regularly!
GOD is a business they say, and yes I somewhere agree to it.I do not believe he wanted a temple as a shade ever or wanted any offer to be it in any form. He never wanted a watchman to protect the gates for him. You fools, he has created this Universe and our existence.
I believe just one guy is ruling all this and it's us humans who differentiated it in various religions just to increase the popularity of their own religion.
I believe in that God, who will not show me a path but just be with me in whichever path I choose and let me make mistakes so that I know what is right or wrong for me because at the end it's our life because if I do not work a 9-5 job he is not going to feed my family, he can just make me powerful enough to work for the time frame!
He will bless me so that I have no fear of any human or object and that I have a stable mind, that I wake up in the morning and sleep at night in a bed with coversheets to keep me safe from cold, that I have eaten enough to feed a poor.
And yet I will run to god every morning so that my day goes a happy one!
Love & Hope
Saily 💗
