Super Humans

On……What I Believe……..

Part 1:

SUPER HUMANS

Sorry Folks…….You may hate me for what I am writing. You may call me an orthodox atheist for the mind I am expressing…………….

A dilemma that has been bouncing all over my head from past few years….an old question that everyone asks….a platform for arguments…..a  reason for offence and counter-offence….and yeah….its even the topic of hot discussion once I had with my Mom….a certain back flash to my past experience which made me think so……

Place: Dining room:

Me: Mom you aren’t taking any food today…..

Mom: Son, its ‘Ekadesi’….I am fasting….

Me: Not again….what’s this mom…it’s just three months since you had your abdominal operation….

Mom: Don’t worry son…God is there…nothing will happen to his follower…….

I didn’t protest…I knew I couldn’t win to her…she is my mom and I am her son….sorry mistaken…she is mom and I am her son….

But inside me a certain kind of rage was burning…maybe because I love my mum  a lot…maybe it was enough of pain I saw her suffering in the past three months… may be I couldn’t even think of  a small pain to her.........

In front  of a temple:

Born in a Brahmin family I am by birth a Hindu Brahmin. I am quite used to all the rituals, functions, gods  goddesses, festivals ,et  cetra  of a common Brahmin family .Once when I was visiting a temple for a pooja…I noticed one strange habit of mine that was even unknown to me till then….but  that incident lead to a series of questions in my mind….

I was in the entrance  of the temple taking out  my shoes…when I saw a bunch of children doing a simple thing…everyone do it….but for the first time I thought about it. Children were doing nothing more than moving their hands up and down by their forehead greeting the god and goddesses.

Its usual thing people do in the temple.  It was not the matter of concern for me. The real concern was,” Do these little Children really know what they are doing?” Or are they just taught to do so???????? As we are…..

How many of us….raise our hand up and down by our forehead…whenever we unexpectedly encounter any holy shrine by our way….The answer is most of us…..now the question is “why do we  do that”….’

All of us will answer,” because we are religious minded……because it’s greeting for god….and so on….”

But now when I think about that I will just say it as an act of manipulative teaching we have been given from our childhood….by anyone…anyone comprises of our parents, friends, uncle, aunt, grandparents….anyone…..

How can our hand automatically perform that thing in the very  first  sight of the religious shrine…..because we have been practising it from our childhood.

Day when I cracked one of the top college:

It was the day when I cracked one of the tough college of my  country(I don’t want to mention name).  I was happy ,my parents were  happy…everyone was happy. A small incident that again urged my thinking….again with my sweet mom…..

Mom: See I told you….Have a faith in “Thakur Gii”….and you will crack it….

Me: Mom………I don’t want to listen all those crap….

Mom: Son just…mind your tongue….(she joined her hand ,closed her eyes….offered a small prayer)….”Thakur Gii…..Please forgive my son…he is still insane…always keep an eye on him……”…..

I quickly moved away from there…I didn’t want to have any row on this topic again….which I frequently have very often with time…..I love her…and I don’t want to hurt her…and the another reason was........ I cracked my college…there was no way I could give this credit to someone else…………..

These were the very few experiences  I wanted to share with you all. These weren’t meant to offend my family members but were just an example…..may be an example of similar stories we all carry.

Today when I share my incidents with different people…I come across….different similar stories…..

And it makes me compelled to think…Are we moving to the path of blind faith that we actually couldn’t achieve.  I am not offending the presence of the proclaimed “The Super Natural God”.

Today for people GOD is like a free shop where they think they can shop in accordance with the   weight of their wallet. I have seen people….not only people…but lot of people…and actually in some mode of our time line…we might have done the same…it's just one example how and what god stands in today’s time…..giving offerings to the God….its includes large varieties of things…..from money…to food….from gold…to lands….oh my gosh….What is this…”Can we bribe God”….Does he give his blessing on the basis of the bribery??

People may tag this thing as “donation”….”social work”…..some might do it for sake of others people too….but  deep inside our heart we know  that…most frequently...most of us do those things just for the sake of our wish…our dream….to achieve that which we couldn’t or we wanted to….

Sorry again…if I offended anyone sentiments…or anyone….….it’s just what I believe….

                   

Sometimes my mom scolds me saying ”What kind of Child did get born in The Brahmin Family…even haven’t got a cent belief in god….”

But mom…………………

I am not an atheist. I do believe in god. For me god is my Parents…who are my source of inspiration to move forward in life….for me god is my girlfriend…with whom I want to spend  time of my love…friends with whom I cherish each and every moment…my study…my work…GOD is everything…AN Ultimate Source of Almighty Energy…..that makes me who I am…..

I do like to visit temples  and religious shrines…its beauty is appealing…the blossoming smell of the fresh flowers…to the beauty of nigh time prayers….it’s just awesome…it’s just makes me feel like  a pure soul away from the burden of different things in my life…

But I don’t mix it with my life………meditation is different which I required from my religion….my life is different…….

I used the word meditation. And may be religion or god is kind of meditation thing for me…can mean different thing for other people.….it helps me tackle my agony….cool my misery…..and makes me feel good for the moment…..

Sorry again…if I hurt anyone sentiment…

Finally what I believe……………………

From the experience of my life till now….education I got….my parents…everything that had happen to me…..I am very lucky that I got birth in this world and today  I am also  the part of this world…..

Coming to the topic we had in our hand…..

God…for me……god is everywhere…that may be you….that may be me  myself….parents….friends….anything that is the part of my life…..that makes me….they are not present in a fixed place…nor they ask for any bribery….they just happen to me when I need them….

If anyone asks me…” You say god is not present in temple…it’s just some kind of parlour for meditation…who do you think are Ram…Lord Shiva…krishna….countless shrines…present all over the world…where do they come from….is that all fake…huh???”

I simply answer to them as…”My friend they existed and they are still present today in our heart……like I said…you may be a god…my parents…anyone…so were they….”

What I believe  is….they all….whatever may be the name…different in different religion…are the people of different age….we all know that….a day will come when everything comes to end…and a new age begins….like an ice age….even scientifically proven….They might be the people more advanced than us…may be utilisation of their full brain(note: an average human brain at most is only about 10% functional in its whole life)…what if we had our 100% brain functional….how will we be???…Can the super natural things possible with 100% functional brain….Then will we be entitled as God…Mystery still unsolved... You might have noticed of using the words like may, will ,might, et cetra…which highlights the uncertainty of my writing. What I write is what I believe…………………………
