I always had
been fascinated with the word "GOD". But during my early childhood, it was more of fear
than fascination. I am assuming that, it is because of the importance which people
around me were giving for that. Being from an orthodox & religious family,
it was obvious to experience such a thing. It became fascination during my
mid-school age when I started playing games; now that might sound a bit awkward,
but the truth is that it started with my craze for PC Games. When I was
playing, there used to be a lot of scenarios where I was struggling to win – Then I came
across a whole new world cheats and there I found GOD MODE. Wow, that’s when I had been happy like anything and thought how powerful it could be if I am a god – or whoever is in
that position. Things I could do, things I could control etc. Everything got me
into a position which made feel so great about the god / gods. But as we say we
cannot always be children, I grew up and when I started the seeing world
outside, it was disappointing.
I realized
the fact that in modern world, one who has cash is god, but to earn it it’s
hard. It’s the same old saying – rich get
richer and poor get poorer. Ok, that’s fine. We can understand that nobody is ready to
share their own money to others, it happens – even I might not be ready give
all my cash and live a simple life. But why is it that the religious
institutions possess the greater lump of money – that also tax free - ? I was again
perplexed and was going deeper with the religious thoughts – asked a lot of
questions to myself – read a lot of articles – again asked why ? why ? why ?,
no answer.
But during the
course I realized a bigger truth about the gods & religions, which was not
only intriguing but also startling. I came to know the religions are spreading
one of the biggest lies the mankind ever had heard of. They say that there is a
god up above in the heaven, who cares you, loves you, looks after you, helps
you in every thing but if ever you do something wrong – HE WILL BURN YOU IN
HELL FOR EVER AND EVER – ha, what a controversial story. Yet, I am sad that
most of the humans are sticking to that thing. That’s not it – I even realized
one more surprising truth there are more than 30 gods with same exact story,
spread across different civilizations & eras. But why ? the question again
haunted the thoughts – I am yet not quite sure, but the most trustworthy story
which I found was this.
The ancient people, who came up with the religious
concept had been looking at a better thing, it was more of a moral live style.
A way to lead good life, with some guide lines, also they were worshiping the
ultimate power source, the place from all the energy is come in; without which
life on our planet will not survive – yes, you got it – it’s the SUN. You can
also relate it to the explanations about your gods – He can be seen among
clouds, light of the worlds, defender of darkness, He will rise again the list
is endless. It's not the end but its just a beginning of all the resemblances which the SUN has with the word GOD. Now that’s the day when I became an sun god worshiper (:D) or may be started believing in the fact that
don’t believe anything that has been told to you, unless you experience it. Till
now, I haven’t seen a better god than SUN, who is far far better than some
idols who don’t hear us or help us – ok leave us – help the poor or needful.
