On the boring Saturday afternoon, I was just flipping through some channels and was searching if some movie is coming or not. OMG - Oh my God! was the only movie coming and I set to watch it. This movie set me thinking and made we realise that in India in the name of God, people are deceived which has become evident from the recent incidents in the past. All Religions are equal, just the way of chanting God's name is different in each of them. Who is a "bhakt" of God or a true "sant"? The person dressed in "orange" whom you see mostly coming at your place or in trains asking for "dakshina"? or the persons carrying out terrorist activities in the name of God?
We have been taught from our early childhood that there is a Supreme soul above who protects us and cares for us. Some people find their God in temples, some in Gurudwara while some in Church. Idol worship is different from God worship. God is within us. When we pray in front of idol, actually we are praying to God within us. In India, before making marriage, kundlis are matched or manglik status is checked when a child gets born. God has never placed any "dosh" in anybody's kundli or has not created anyone "phursat se". "Sri Krishna said: O Arjuna, there is no truth superior to Me. All
this Universe, Every living being & Everything rests upon Me, as
pearls are strung on a thread." (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Seven verse 7). If things go against us, we tend to believe that something is wrong in our stars, then the whole process begins - Fixing appointment with astrologer or a pundit, "scrutinizing" your kundli and your past life and consequently, burning a hole in your pocket. Wearing expensive rings made of ruby or sapphire never takes down "dosh" from anyone's kundli. "Sri Krishna said: You have a right to perform your prescribed
duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action. Never consider
yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never be
attached to not doing your duty."
In the name of religion, we create hatred and violence. There is no wrong in performing anti-caste marriages. Religion is made for humans ... human is not made for religion. Believe in God without fear. "Sri Krishna said : O Arjuna, Always think of Me, become My devotee, worship Me, and offer your homage unto Me. Thus You will come to Me without fail. I promise you this because you are My dear friend."
