Between the last blog I had written and now, there has been a series of things that had my thoughts in sway every day after another. Probably something that had been disturbing me for quite sometime now. Man has risen from the days where things were merely accepted as either truth or divine, and questioning it doesn’t make real sense, to this date where we have tried to answer every single question through science and technology; from the days of mere superstitions, to this day’s true knowledge; from the days where there existed much of barriers because of cultures, and thoughts which were never understood by the other parts of the world, to this day where information about them are just a few clicks away; from the days where people outside their borders were just thought to be aliens, to this day where friendships need have no boundaries; from the days where external communication was never thought to be possibly easy, to this day where communication couldn’t have got any better; from the days where what I wished to write could only reach a few, to this day when most of this world will be able to read and understand what I write. Sometimes I get carried away in this thought, to feel ‘Am I living in the golden era of civilizations?’. I know some of you guys might be laughing at me, like myself.
With so much of advancements in thought and action, there are somethings which I haven’t got a real answer. Don’t worry, I am not saintly enough yet to ask the questions like ‘Who am I?’ yet. Did knowledge give us real wisdom to segregate truth and falsity?, right and wrong?, wise and unwise? Are we knowledgeable enough to understand the sublime meanings of things? Have our thoughts grown enough to love everyone around? Hmm.. I do not really know the answer, though I have tried to tell you the hidden truth in it. Lol. But if the answer was yes, I shouldn’t have seen so much of fights, terrorism and blood shed in the name of religion, which I thought true essence was to spread love.
I hear every day in the news about some hundreds and thousands being killed from everywhere. The sickest part of it being, they have been killed by our very own men. Even animals would think twice to do that, if so what is the sixth sense of ours for. If all of us here are one species of creature, called human beings, why should we support something that is leading us to extinction. Be it our religion, be it our ego, be it our selfishness, why do you need it?
In this, if you feel that ego and selfishness are innate, I agree to a certain extent, I don’t want to digress talking about it now, but what do you have to say about religion? Something that brought people together, who follow similar ideals and thoughts, so many centuries back. I feel that anything that is not going to lead to growth of humanity; I don’t find any reason following it. I don’t find any more relevance of it in modern day scenario. If we are smart and knowledgeable why don’t we have wisdom and knowledge to agree to the ideals and thoughts what we believe in every religion and follow them, like what Gandhiji did! In your modern day, our education should have taught us this, but none had the courage to.
Are we finding reasons here to fight rather than to love, if we start loving why would we ever fight and if so why would any knowledgeable creature in this god-damn-world not do that. If you take religion just as a sense of your identity in this world, to me, I would love to portray myself as an ‘Indian’, at a higher level an ‘Asian’, a ‘Global citizen’ and more so as just ‘Homo Sapiens’ rather than a Hindu or a Muslim. I don’t mean to say that I have no belief in God. I truly believe in God (Super power), who is above all of us, but in one of his forms within us. He is in the form ‘love’. It is for you to realize it. Worship any diety, go to any chruch/temple/mosque, pray in any language, but show ‘LOVE, the god inside you’.
I wish to end this with ‘Merry Christmas’ wish;
عيد ميلاد سعيد وكالة [Arabic]
If you transulate 'Happy Birthday Esa', into Arabic you will se the above script while transulated back shows up as 'Merry Christmas'. I had an Interesting observation here, Esa means Jesus, and Esa also means Esan, Lord Shiva (Hindu God). If a muslim language can connect Hindu and Christianity, to say we are all just one and the same. What more can I say! Start Thinking and start talking about it to people around you.
India and Indians, I love you. Pakistan and Pakistanis, I love you too! After all you are my brother! :)
