"Forgive,O Lord,my little jokes on Thee
And I will forgive Thy bigger one on me."
This phrase definitely sets me wondering.I have seen my friends and even my elders blaming Him for their own mistakes and mishaps.I am counting myself in too.In fact,I personally find it very convenient to have an access to this easy and ready-made excuse for having shirked my responsibilities in the past and continuing to do the same.This is what I am like when things don't go my way.Listen to this one-"It was not in my stars to become wealthy.I work so hard...man!..I will remain a draggletailed middle class man,stuck with this middle-class morality.Now I don't think God is just,that is,if He exists at all!"
Now,how strange is that? First,we indulge in this 'blame-transferring' behavior for not doing what ought to be done.Later,we dismiss the fact that He exists at all! But we are not going to talk about Atheists here,are we? Practically the whole human race believes in the existence of a power we cannot question.I have always been more than curious about the occult.I have felt the effectiveness of such divine power in a gloriously subtle way.I take it,that all of us have. It is the final proof of God's omnipotence that he need not exist in order to save us. Our problems do come to a dead end and by the time we really see it end,we see another standing at the door like a monster.Ironically and unconsciously the word,'Thank God!" comes out of our mouths,on seeing the one that end,while we curse Him for the one that has started. What a delicious hypocrisy!
Now let us talk of times we have turned to God as a source of peace and a way to end our mental restlessness,despite making Him a scapegoat for bearing several blames. I realize that i get the same feeling when i talk to my Mother or Father,for that matter. Guilt vanishes and
heart weighs lighter.Believe me,I have lost the compelling need to find out,what He must look like.It's not that hard to imagine. My Mother says that life is just a chain reaction taking us day by day.God,just makes sure that nothing lasts forever.
I have been told that all religions preach the same thing. But it is a mistake to suppose that God is only,or even chiefly,concerned with religion. I see that people today,have hugged varieties of faiths and religions to assert their identities,which in a way,is good. But true religion is in the heart,not in the knees.Truly,"If God did not exist,it would be necessary to invent him." So long as man remains free,he strives for nothing so incessantly and so painfully as to find someone to worship."God is subtle,not malicious." He better exist! In whatever form he pleases. He is an indispensable and emotional role-model,very few human relationships are able to match up to. I feel it with my parents, my guardian angels.
And i love the way it feels!
And I will forgive Thy bigger one on me."
