HUMAN AND THE GOD

Only human kind bother about the God or any other living being also think about its creator? We have no means to find this out. What should have given the thought of God to human? Is it fear that is responsible for human to create their own Gods? We don't have the answer to these questions but we have come to a stage to talk about God, to talk about worshiping, and to talk about realising the God.

To have been born in India has given me an opportunity to know more about various religions. Beyond the religion, the sages have searched out side and within themselves to find what and where God is.

Dangerous dreams.

When I wrote greatly about the power of dreams I ended up the previous blog post suggesting to dream to lead, to give and to help. Then the dreams will not be selfish but will be for the common cause. Comforts in life can be acquired by giving and need not be through cheating, swindling or through atrocious activities. Political power, bureaucratic power,money power and even positional advantage can make people arrogant and when they act from that plane, the common man or people below do not have any means to object the behaviour.
