God, the most misunderstood word


In my assumption, the most misunderstood word in this whole world is God since the word whenever is uttered carried an obscure tendency to get personified. The devotees accepted ‘it’ as a person, and in the same way the atheists discarded it considering it as something denoting a superhuman. Here, both acceptance and rejection is happening on a word in its personified level for two varied reasons.

But, may be, God is not a person but a feeble feeling of immortality exists in all persons; a feeling that buds a doubt of hope whether there is something which could save them from dying. It means, all humans crave for a superpower, knowingly or unknowingly, directly or indirectly, which could make them immortal. For exploiting this intense feeling of immortality, it is man he himself designed the concepts of religions revolving around a superhuman belief and naming it ‘God’. Forgetting the embodiments happened on the word ‘God’, think about it as a core reason for everything and anything happening here in this universe; and I strongly sense so.               

Scientifically, it could be something which constituted the phenomenon called big bang (the reason behind big bang and its beyond and the reason which prompted scientists to think about the origin of universe and urge to reach at its most fundamentals), for by scientific principle it needs a reason for any phenomenon to happen. What is it that which made this universe? If science needs a reason for everything to happen, what is that made the universe happen? It is that invisible energy which developed the programme called life and living. It is invisible because scientists are yet to define it logically, for remember that until Newton found out Gravity it was invisible. Newton made Gravity visible in a metaphysical sense by stating its three laws satisfactorily.    
     
God, the energy, is that which limited and still limiting our audibility, visibility and perceptivity but at the same time supplying us with an urge for completeness, wholeness and perfection. Call God as your consciousness which is beyond your control but by which (only by which) you perceive that you are living.

One of the ancient masters asked his disciple: ‘What is the most expanded phenomenon in this universe you could ever think of?’

‘Sky, the space!’ The intelligent boy said.

‘And where the sky exists?’ The master inquired again, smilingly; for which there was no reply.

‘In your consciousness!’ – said the master.

When Sita went missing


When Sita was abducted by Ravana, Lakshmana became restless and sad; he was afflicted by thick of emotions. But, Rama stood on the rock unmindful. He was calm. This contradictory demeanor had shuddered Lakshmana wholly. 

“Brother, your wife is missing, but still you look relaxed!”- Asked Lakshmana, angrily. 

“What is that made you restive, brother?”- Rama asked. 

“My sister in law had been taken away.’- Said Lakshmana. 

“In truth, you and your sister in law are two separate entities, but what is that making you bound together?’- Asked Rama. 

Lakshmana remained silent. 

‘What is that relating you together?’- Asked Rama, again. 

Younger brother continued his silence.

‘It is nothing else but your mind, only your mind and its imagery that Sita is your sis-in-law are binding you together. And this bondage of mind is what that is taking away your calmness from you.’- Said Rama.  

Lakshmana rose up convincingly. 

“Anything in this world has no relation with anything else. It is the fact Lakshmana. It is your mind that binds you.” Said Rama. 

Lakshmana regained his vigor. 

‘Realize this truth and calm your mind so that you could fully concentrate in regaining Sita back from the clutches of demons.’ Rama took his bow and shot a divine arrow into the sky.
