The idea of god



“God is omnipresent, beyond our understanding, most powerful and is that divine force (energy)  which holds subatomic particles together, also everything is made of it; things just transform from one state/shape/nature to other”.

There is no explainable logic/pattern that atheist prospers or not in comparison with those who prays. Somewhere to some people it can happen in one manner and to others in different manner so there is no guarantee that if you pray than everything good will happen to you or if you do wrong deeds than same will happen to you.  So if there is to be god than there must have been defined logic for happening of one event or non-happening of other or a way to get his grace. But as we have seen through history there is no such pattern “anything can happen to anyone”. So there is no logic in bothering about the idea of god as it is most powerful as well as at the same time unaware of his own world.

We have misinterpreted the idea of god which is nothing magical, it is pure logical but certainly not scientific as I am sure we won’t never be able to find the origin of this energy and its nature even if we; than to prove it will be a milestone.

 Nothing is created or destroyed; it is just our perception which changes due to changes in physical form of any object. “God was never born and won’t be born ever”. As this is just transformation of one form to another. Also it is near to impossible to reach the limits of this universe as it has not got any limits. But as we are born this way so we have a tendency to be curious to explore; we will always try to reach the limits and nothing bad about this. And maybe we all are living in a dream of someone in which we can do anything and still can’t do anything. In a dream we have got everything but we still try to do nonsense because we are programmed this way by our own mind. And this mind can be divided into parts but still we perceive it as a single unit which changes its level of consciousness according to the external & internal factors. The energy which holds subatomic particular together is actually which can be applied to this vague idea of god. In Hindu spirituality and various others something are common as we have turned all the natural elements as god namely fire, water, earth, air etc. also god is one who is never born and can’t be born and Jesus, Mohammed & others are prophets preaching the teachings of god. There are many others great peoples who at the time of divine revelations(unconscious state) received their spiritual knowledge which are nothing but a moral code which everybody knows to the extent of more than 70% which is also same to every religion. Most of the biggest discoveries are made in unconscious state of mind in which we were not actually thinking; this is also called intuition. Also I have told earlier that religion is devised as a tool to control people by getting them fear of god. As we know that in India Akbar tried to introduce a new faith in Islam called Din-E-Ilahi as to unite & control the India by this new faith so that no new challenger/contender to his empire emerges. It was a liberal version of Islam which he thought would be acceptable to Hindus. Also Sikh religion was started in reaction to check the growing Muslim invasions in North India. As Hindus were divided in various sects and those sects into further. Only Hindu religion in the world was not started by any prophet/god men and nor was reaction to any other but was the outcome of cultural & spiritual diversity of ancient India. But this doesn’t mean that I am asking anyone to change or reconsider his/her faith as it is personal choice until you are not hurting or causing emotional discomfort to others by that faith. As religion is also a cure to our fear, provides us peace of mind, provides us with moral code, and gives consolation in the moment of disparity. But certainly god is not in any particular place it is present everywhere(omnipresent) in the form of energy. There is no point in building more temples, churches, mosques until & unless it is of any historical value or madly demanded by the masses.

There is only one thing that matter is our level of satisfaction as well as of level of achievements in life. So what matters is that how many poor hungry people you have served. How much you have done for yourself & your family may be act of selfishness or your devotion/dedication towards your family but what is done for others will bring you that joy which is far more than the act of prayer. And this is certainly not atheism or theism it is something in between which is certainly better than the formers in every possible aspect. Also do meditation to achieve the altered state of consciousness(divine state) it will certainly help to do away with the impurities of mind and body.

God is reality or just a Myth continues….



There is one more aspect of god which came to me when I saw many people on TV describing their experience with god & afterlife. And then I read a book ‘’Life After Life’’ written by a well acclaimed psychologist & philosopher (Raymond Moody) who hasn’t  neither accepted the claims of his approximately 150 subjects nor he declines about it. Also there is another great psychologist who is mystified by our Eastern philosophy particularly (Tibetan) Carl Gustav Jung. He justly serves the both sides of coin in his book and leaves the final decision in the hand of the reader which amazes me as when we are dead clinically and we saw the light according to nearly all the subjects  interviewed, also they reported a feeling of enduring love & peace at the time of facing the light.

All of us, who had an experience with any psychoactive drugs, have had the same feeling if used in high quantity. These experiences are felt to be reported by all the persons who were resuscitated from Near death experience and some of the persons were very highly educated and some from science. And as the author has examined them none were found to be insane or psychologically ill as the author was psychologist himself. And many psychologists in our generation and of past believes in it. Also these kinds of experiences were reported by many people when hypnotized, they also report about previous life. And others were many cases throughout the history which pressure us to think to name a few historical:-
1.   Emily Rose- Germany
2.   Bridey Murphy- U.S.A.
3.   Somvir - Gabrieli(Rajasthan), India
4.   Ragini MMS- India
5.   Avinash singh(name changed)- Delhi, India

There are many acclaimed books on the subject in our Eastern part of the mystic world which had attracted many western intellectuals i.e. I Ching, Tao, Tao Ti Ching, Tibetan book of dead, Bhagwat Gita, Satyarth Prakasha etc. I have all the books but not able to read all of them. Let’s limit the discussion to the above mentioned cases:-

1.   Emily Rose case attracted many films, articles & books.
 Well she was a normal girl haunted by some evil spirit according to herself & her family while his doctor(Neurologist) maintained that she had a neurological problem in which she observes hallucination and gave her a drug which actually worsened her condition. So her family called her back from her hostel and tried to perform a failed exorcism on her in the presence of a doctor which obviously was performed by a priest. She died and the blame was put on the priest due to public sentiments involved. While it was found out that the actual cause of death was the drug prescribed by her neurologist. Also whole exorcism was recorded in tape which was presented in the court.

2.   Bridey Murphy- The lady told about her previous life and the facts were verified by the investigators to be partly true. Even she told about the place(Ireland) where she used to live in its native Irish accent which surprised everyone.

3.   Ragini MMS was a bollywood film based on true case of someone(name not disclosed to public).

4.   Somvir(Lawyer) – He practices law in Gabrali village  in Rajasthan. This guy noticed a women in nearby village and told her that she was her Bua(Paternal aunt) in his past life and spontaneously the memories were fresh by just having the glimpse of the women and then he reconciled with his present and past family to live in same house. And now this new ultimate family is residing in one roof living happily. As this subject is near to Delhi so I will meet him near future. As we Indians didn’t bother to verify and experiment these kinds of cases and discard it stating as superstitious crap. So these kinds of interesting cases go unnoticed.

5.   Avinash Singh- I changed the name as this person is my friend. He started to believe in Christ as he was having very bad time. His father was in AIIMS ICU ward for treatment of brain tumor in very critical stage. I was visiting him as a formality. He then started his story about Christ how he was cured of Asthma in one single night and now he is demanding life of his father from Christ which sounded to me as eccentric behavior due to such a mental agony. Well his lifelong Asthma was gone in realty as I know him for several years suffering from asthma. He insisted me to try Jesus as my only god. I told him that I believe in all and none at the same time. (I actually wrote a poem on my confusion on this topic at that time which is written in the end of this article.) But he now started abusing Hanuman Ji(Hindu God) whom I liked very much from childhood, can’t tell the reason but I liked him very much. I told him to stop abusing one for the sake of other god, as it is no issue in believing one and not believing other. As the situation demanded silence so I didn’t argued with him much, also we had another common friend who was a serious follower/believer of Hanuman Ji maintaining silence. And in the night as we left he called me to ask for blood donation in morning for his father for which I agreed. But in the morning I was waiting for his call as I was feeling something wrong and he didn’t called, so I contacted him and his uncle replied that his father is no more. So we can interpret it in many ways. It sounds childish to think of a god taking revenge for abusing him.

I always leave a room for god as I believe him to be energy as it fulfills all the conditions to qualify as god.
There is one case which I heard of in my own village one old man got up from his funeral pyre seven times after declaring dead.
There is one interesting fact that our mind has same effect of a work done in mind(dreams) and the one done in real world. There is no psychological/chemical difference.
So it’s true what you are thinking you can do anything you are capable to do in real world.
And there is one more thing that all the persons who had near death experience claims that when they were in front of the light they don’t have any shape of their own and still they were able to do what they want to do. They can reach the U.S.A. from India by just thinking of it.
Let’s see a case from the book(Life after life) one person was clinically dead declared by the doctor and he told those doctors all the conversations they were having at the time, in what posture they were standing and all the physical structure of the hospital where he claimed he never visited before. Also he was brought there in unconscious state and shortly after a while declared dead. He told that he visited the hospital when he was guided by the light.
And we know that there is an unexplained force which governs the subatomic particles and also it lead to conversion of electron into proton. And all of us have infinite number of subatomic particles as everything in this world is made up from atom(matter). Hence we have an undefined force/energy present within ourselves which can be god as it fulfills all the conditions of god and at large “Energy is God” as it is able to get transformed from one form to another and present everywhere. But there may be other possibility that it is not god it is just the energy as per scientist Stephen Hawking there is no single entity in the world which doesn’t governs by the laws of nature. So the almighty who can do anything and for whom everything is possible can’t even break his own laws. The answer seems to be yes as he never brakes his laws so we can say that we don’t have to pray him for his goodness for providing us such a great ability to even challenge his own existence as he will never care for that. It seemed to be awkward to all the readers after mentioning those cases of ghosts and previous life. But as it is your decision to decide for yourself what seems to be convincing to you.

“But at last in the end we will be face to face to that God/Energy if it exists. I can’t say those people are true or they were just hallucinating but we will definitely facing the universal hidden truth and may be it is also waiting for us.”

At least we now know that our so called numerous Gods(Rama, Krishna, Jesus Christ etc) were great people  but their good deeds and charismatic personality were so immense that it forced us to believe them as super human beings. May some conspire to believe us like that as religion is formed to control the world masses? Also humans have a tendency to appreciate the value of every single thing which is lost. And as we Indians have lots of Tantriks & Baba who even believe in devil, I guess these people are more talented in manipulating human psychology which they use to force to believe them.
Psychology was actually developed in India many thousands of years ago as even our pickpocketers knew to psychologically create fear/surprise and than emptying the pockets of their subjects. Sadly Germans discovered it when we were struggling for independence from Britain.

But the thing is that I am more convinced by the fact that the light all the persons saw was nothing more than illusion. Our mind plays very mysterious games. Even in my childhood I experienced many hallucinations(fear of an old women with blood all over her) after an accident.

I can’t impose my judgment on anyone so use your own conscious brain in this quest. Also our mind(conscious/subconscious) is in itself biggest mystery to be solved yet. Also I suggest to watch Inception(movie) by Christopher Nolan and let your mind do wonders. We know that some of biggest discoveries were made while dreaming like Kekule discovered the structure of Benzene. So have a good sleep and if there is time then read those books mentioned above with Huxley’s Brave new world and one on dreams by Sigmund Freud.

I Believe- a poem
I believe in fate,
          But I don’t believe in God.
I believe in God,
          But I don’t in devil.
I sometimes believe in all,
          But every time I am confused so much that I sometimes believe in none of all.
The world is so confusing that some facts seem to be true at one moment while those facts seem illusion at other moment.
