He awaits, hungry in the mouths of
poor
“Where is God?”
remains the unsolved riddle till date. Many tried to solve it. Many almost
solved it. People don’t believe that the answer to it could be as simple as
that! The matter of importance is definitely not about what name do you address
him as? I think we must move ahead of this age old debate. Call him whatever
you wish. Keep looking for him all around, you will be restless and lack peace.
You shall never be able to find him. The more you fight in the name of him, the
more he shall hate you because he never asked you to worship him. To fight in
the name of him was your move.
He is in you. He is in him. He is in her. You can’t really
name the things and stuffs he is in. he is all around you. He is like air. How
can you call it just yours or hers? How will you divide it as yours and mine?
You haven’t seen him but you do feel him helping you. Isn't
that a marvel? Someone who has never met you face to face, does help you
without anything in return? Don’t you agree that he must be a wonderful
one? Will it ever please him if you
fight in the name of him? Definitely not!
You can never seek his blessings by trying to please just
him. As he resides in everything and everyone around, you need to be god to
all!
You love him so much! Isn't it your duty to gift him
something wonderful in order to thank him for all the love and care? How shall
we do it? May be get him many chocolates, food, sweets, clothes and things of
daily necessity which he might need in everyday life? Yeah that sounds like a
great idea.
But he did not like it at all! You kept fighting for him by stepping on the
others who called him by other names. Eh! You were really mean.
The answer to the riddle was simple. “While he a waits for
you to find him, hungry in the mouths of the poor, his people poured milk,
showered sweets, flowers jewels and what not in the name of him!
All you did never reached him. You felt all the wealth you
showered on him made him happy. You felt that he is royally seated somewhere up
there. You were so wrong. You see him every day. He is in the ones to whom you
chase off near the traffic signals with the excuse of “No change, run from
here”. He resides in that grand ma who sits their leaning on that pepal tree,
hungry and begging for some food. She is unable to work as she is grown old and
has no place to go. He resides in the ones you shoo off saying, “These slum
kids stink”.
Interestingly he also resides in you being your “Faith”.
Where is god? This has been the age old debate. The fights
and debates go on. I agree that it is an old debate but we are new! The way of
fighting if can’t meet an end, it surely does need an updation. Name calling
and comparing the beliefs are all outdated. It sounds childish too. You must
find a different way of fighting over this. Let me help you.
Now as we all know that our God is not really seated high up
in the comforts of a lavish room, let us look into the ways to impress him and
as well as argue and fight on his name but in a sophisticated and a new way. Hence
forth, you may compete to see on who impresses the “God” first and how well? He
is divine but is very hungry, poor, he feels cold and lacks shelter too. The one who shall succeed in making him completely
content and happy shall win.
The day, we fail to find poor people dying out of
starvation, is the day we made our “God” happy! The day we all stop fighting
will be the day our “God” will eat well and relax listening to happy tunes. Our
fights really irritate him. Would you like it if many people called you by
different names and fought over that silly thing trying to convince each other
on agreeing to one name? In addition to it, believing and fighting over their
belief that the other names are bad? Whatever the name may be, you surely
wouldn't like to hear someone speak ill about it right? It is the same with
that poor chap too. Respect his multiple identities and accept him. Let us make
him happy. J
