The overwhelming
response of my last post kindled me to pen the follow up. I got multitudes of
thoughts from my fellow readers towards my contemplation about the invisible
matter named God. Few were quite impressive but still not ample to convert me
back to theist from the agnostic bracket.
Recently, I have come across an
interesting post in Facebook about Einstein’s ideological thought about God
when he was in a school. He debated with his teacher that whether man could see
electricity, heat or any other energy forms? Though they are intangible, we believe
that they exist because of the realisation of their utilities. Similarly, God
is someone who should be felt rather seen. A man who sourced many scientific
theories and derived many tremendous inventions had this rational thought about
God in him. I don’t even deserve to negate to his ideology. But, on the other
hand, thankfully, I believe that he bolstered my thought.
According to this gentleman who had
extraordinary neurons more than the hairs in his head, we could only feel the
existence of God. Of course, if there exists someone who could never be seen,
what makes the people to impart shape, colour, attire, power and everything to
him according to their comforts and convenience? They have groomed this iconic
God regionally however they needed him. On considering this fact, I feel Islam
is quite an aberrant way. It never
encouraged the worship of god with any identity. But, noetically, God is
someone who resides in ourselves. His existence could be termed as
“Self-Belief”. Unless we start believing ourselves, we could not start thinking
analytically towards our virtually imbibed life. So, as Einstein says, first
feel the god in you. Exploring him outside comes in the later part of
realisation. But, traditionally, we are cultured to practice it in the reverse
way.
Another interesting response for my
previous post says that man is a bundle of energy which could neither be
created and nor be destroyed. Only transformation happens from one creature to another.
Creator, preserver and destroyer are responsible for the above obligations. The
billion euro question is the mystery behind the creator, preserver and
eventually the destroyer. Who are those? Whether there are three or only one?
Whether they are really intangible and invisible? I would request all the
fellow scientists and researchers with insured brains to figure out this
fallacy and the enigma so as to open the rationality of us bit wider.
Fortunately, our ancestors wanted to frame
set of principles and disciplines for the forthcoming generations so as to
transform the livelihood of the humans more civilised from being faunal and
insane. So, they wanted to create a fear among the people in the form of God
and practices in the form of religion so as to incorporate command over their
lives to prevent them to get deviated towards immorality. This transformation
happened at various parts of the world at various point of times which actually
has given birth to multiple religions, rituals and deities. Only strongly
positioned religions survive till today. Hope with the scale of advancement in
rationality and maturity, we should start mining these thoughts and have to elucidate
our practices with reasons. Until then, the hunt for the realisation would
persist for anyone with mortal ideologies. Thinking beyond this scope or
comfort zone is something which might not be a thing to be bothered for many.
But, an itching thing for few. Unfortunately, I am falling under the latter
category. So, intense reasoning is hindering
me these days whenever I used to do something which I have been doing from day
one of my life without reasoning.
Hunger for
realisation to be continued….!
