Consequences of decoding God with logic
Consequences of decoding God by
logic.
These were the words of my
teacher “as I have read science I don’t believe in god but yes, I believe in
energies”. He was man who had an extraordinary self believe so there was
nothing wrong to admire him. This was the first time that a doubt was raised in
my mind that believing in god and finding logic are the opposite faces of coin?
Born in a typical hindu family where god is heavily cherished I also developed
a fear of god. Yes, fear because listening every time that everything is
governed by god I started to pray in mornings. I realised that I only prayed
for prevention, causes some reasons not from the heart.
Luckily I had a chance to read a book which was basically an
interpretation of Mahabhartha which helped in great aspects such as realising
what is true Dharma (not doing
anything to any person who you don’t consider that should be done to you). Mahabhartha made me realise that there is no
hell no heaven, no good no bad. But it started my quest to decode what is god?
Mahabhartha says that God is just a character , like Arjuna , Yuddhistra ,
Duryodhana , karna etc. So the character which being portrayed as god is
actually not god as he uses trickery , cheating which in no way are the traits
of god which are being told to us. “God will do the justice”.
The only clear thought that I could withdraw from the text
was ‘Karma’. What you do comes back
to you. It is the simplest and soothing
concept I ever understood. I mean doing right things the right way. Combining Dharma with Karma makes such a brilliant fusion which almost deletes the need
of any other concept needed to live an answerable life. It’s so magnificent to
think that you finally can answer some of the most typical, sensible questions
that are being put forward to you by your surroundings.
All these lowered my belief on god but that to in a good
way. My fear for god vanished and remembering the words of my teacher I started
to believe in the concept of God as an energy rather than any physical stature.
Most of the people including me have a habit of saying “oh god” or “hey
Bhagwan, kya ho gya”. One day I asked while saying the above mentioned words
that whatever happened, happened due to your Karma which was not in terms with
Dharma. Then why in this world you are remembering god which according to you
has no physical significance. Days passed by and I started to avoid saying
these words and remembering god. Suddenly I am being struck by a thought that
“have I become an atheist”. Oh man! What am I doing? What is happening? Also my
classmate asked me that do you believe in god? I explained her my thoughts
which I later realised was equivalent of saying ‘No’. it looks funny but it
very hard for a 19 year hindu boy bought up in family where god is worshipped
hard to accept that “I don’t know how but, my thoughts are taking me towards
atheism”.
not doing anything to any person who you don’t consider that
should be done to you. It took me a night only but what I decided is conclusion
of this tale or this journey. Living the life while not believing in god takes
the nectar out of it. Remembering god gives a sense of belonging to this earth.
I don’t have hesitation and I will not have hesitation even if I study science
at a very advance level that yes, god exists as force which connects or which
makes sure that the consequences of your karma “must” come to you. From where
does this force comes from? Simple from where this wind on the earth comes
from.
