The Beyond
People all around the world believe in something. They fall in two categories primarily - either they believe in the existence of God or they believe in the non-existence of God.
I see faith. Sometimes I see madness.
I grew up surrounded by various beliefs. Naturally i was intrigued. The fact that there are too many different views and the fact that everything points to the same thing wasn't satisfying.
I chose to ignore then.
I got my answers eventually. It was really simple and it was there from the beginning. I just had to see it.
Temples, Churches and other Holy places or places of worship have one thing in common.
Peace. The invaluable possession one cannot have and which is not in one's control. Peace.
The belief of something sacred and holy naturally instills the feeling of being in peace. It loosens us from the grip of fear and insecurity.
The feeling of being blessed.
Nobody can deny this fact but rarely do devotees or common people stop to think about this. Even if they do it doesn't seem significant. It isn't !
I believe we created God. I believe we created the supreme in order to curb our fears. We created the omnipotent in order to stay sane. We created the one in order to have the feeling that somebody is watching over us and protecting us. Something equivalent to a child's simple mind.
Hard to digest? What isn't. People don't want to hear what they don't want to hear. Human psychology.
I am not a fearless man, I am no hero. I want to believe that there is this supreme energy, so I believe in it. I believe that you are not strong enough to live without help. The mind wanders, and sometimes it just collapses. The belief reconstructs the mind. It is a self healing medicine. It is the best natural medicine.
I don't believe in wonders or magic, I don't want to. Life would be much simpler this way. But i believe in belief. You believe what you want to.
I presume ancient people would have realized this long back, answers to the dark secrets and unexplainable events. They needed some force to rely on, to lighten their worries and to become stronger. They didn't want to be scared anymore so God came into being. The belief of the omnipotent. The biggest and the most successful method of mankind which allowed their existence and growth to one of the most advanced civilizations.
We would never know who was behind this, but I bow to that being. The forgotten being who has made everything possible.

''The mind wanders, and sometimes it just collapses. The belief reconstructs the mind. It is a self healing medicine. It is the best natural medicine.''Simply true and very correctly put!
ReplyDeleteBut the epics have always confused me.. The Mahabharata or the Ramayana? I have always argued about their authenticity,and not to my surprise,always tagged as an imprudent atheist! We pick up only those beliefs and values which we find beneficial to us and we call them the voice of the god!
Believe in belief? What an analogy! How hard it is to agree that we are weak (HUMAN) and so we created strong (GOD). Accept my friend request in fb. I want to be a friend of someone whom I really want. Ram
