Have been going through a conflict in my mind over the recent happenings of Uttarakhand.
The heart cant believe , Gods can be so ruthless.
Mind tells me , we deserved it.
Heart Tells me, its God wrath
Mind tells me , we brought it upon ourselves.
So i took , solace in few readings, of philosophical and religious types. Tried todeep dive in my mind as to what beliefs i have grown with and suddenly it lighted upon me.
I have not been to any religious place. i mean from religious purposes. I have been to Jammu, Tirupati, Shiv mandirs but have hardly pleaded , begged before god, asked for salvation. Have got int negotiation i.e. give me this and i will do this. It gets worse. Hardly kept any Vrat ( fast) ,Never Gone to Shivjis on monday, Hanuman ji, on Tuesday, Sai baba on thursday, Santoshi mata on friday and Saturday , shani god.
Just Athiest ,I think by the standards of people who have visited 4 dhams, before 40, have visited all shakti peeths before 50. I am a living demon.But then. Since when did god started living in places,temples, mountains, hills, and all such remote locations ?
Why is this dying need to visit god every year, every month, every fortnight, every week. Just because you can afford it ? or is it that we have started sinning too often too fast and need to confess and repent so that we can start all over again.The Sinning process.
Where did God mandate, that you have to visit me this many times in your life time ? NEVER and NOWHERE.
Its the fear of loss, of masses fuelled by God men who gaurantee safegaurds, repentance if you do things their way.
To compare : There were less temples, less pilgrims, more peace of mind. Almost like Cancer.
There was less cancer, less hospitals, more healthy bodies, when we were just farmers.
Has religion grown from opium for masses to new age cancer. With no cure but various method to control and prolong life, whatever be its quality ?
If we cant find peace within our selves, within our family and friends, with our loved ones. Trust me, No place on this earth can gaurantee you peace and penance. God's were supposed to be principles, institutions not human forms that carry human weaknesses.
Once in a while you have to go on a journey to to loose yourself so that you can discover yourself is explainable. Every weekend to mussorie with an evening arti at HAridwar aur rishikesh is Criminal if nothing else.
If visiting these places could assure salvation. All mules carrying pilgrims, should be worshipped they carry them 365days. All those khadims, who are not even hindus, should go to heaven. Simple ? isnt it. But we can afford to agree with this , as this is not what was taught to us or what we have beleived it.
Most of so called gurus , propogate against western culture , MNC culture and consumerism. If that is bad, this is worse, specially when mixed with that culture.
The worst of East and West. Its a new Vulture. ( The vulgur Culture)
So today we find more pilgrims, with Coke, Chips, Choclates. We even have a CCD there. Cheers !
First we Mock God, Them we Screw nature and then we claim to be victims when nature gets back.
It doesnt end here. We try to rebuild nature with more development, cement, plastics, cokes, ACs, modern amenities. We screw nature and annoy gods , twice over with our repentenceand pay back.
Can we spare god and Nature and let them be them ? Can we prevent the Gods from Manmade disasters.
Trust me when i say this. Kedarnath was not an isolated instance, but a warning to people who want to be too close to god. Beyond's god Comfort. We careful what you wish for. For all your wishes like, Mujhe apni Sharan main le lo. It might just be granted, then dont go cribbing for help and rescue.
"Mohabbat main zaroori hai Doori banaye rakhna " GODS REALIZED THIS and set thier abode on remote , inaccesible hills. Its time we relaized this and reduced our visits. He/She will be more delighted if people just behaved as good humans, respected thier parents, loved their families, be nice to their friends and neighbours and did their duty towards the society.
