Oh! God !!


Oh! God !! : -

This magnificent Universe is mysterious to say the least. The play of matter and energy through living and nonliving things is awesome. Human beings are known to try to untangle this mystery but so may be the animals plants and viruses in their own way. Humans are one species that uses its own kith and kin for business purposes. Humans are the only species that accumulates money. Humans are the only species that makes business of fear.

The concept of God was a God sent opportunity for a class of humans called priests. There was this mysterious Universe sometimes extremely violent and murderous. This violence in Nature is completely impartial. Humans in their egoistic behavior thought that the violence was directed towards them. Nothing could have been farther from truth.

However as humans were themselves very violent to each other and they could reduce the level of violence by paying or offering something to the stronger human they thought same appeasement policy will work with this violent Nature. This amorphous Nature had to be formulated into some anthropomorphic structure for average Humans to recognize it as a representative of this violence.

The priests abrogated the Authority to interpret and understand this deity. They thus became an authority to tell Humans to do certain things lest this deity becomes angry. Thus invoking fear in the minds of common folk the myth of God perpetuated.

Even today people do certain things of God out of fear. It is certainly true that this Universe is Unknowable given limitation of our five senses. It is awesome, mysterious and so vast that as yet nobody dares to delineate it. To conform it in some form and then to give that form human attributes like anger is hilarious. The forces working in nature are so subtle yet so powerful that human imagination is still falling short to comprehend it.

This Universe is Godliness itself. However there is no God as such. This concept of God has resulted in massacres of innocents and nothing else. The forms of Gods have changed. Humans have dumped some Gods and taken up newer forms of Gods. Humans make and break Gods and still are terrified of them.

One must remain in a wondrous state throughout this life. We must continuously inquire, analyze and synthesize our truths along the way.
