"Isn't it enough to see that a
garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the
bottom of it too?"
These are the lines on the first
page of Richard Dawkins famous book ‘The God Delusion’. Let me ask you a
question how many of you have seen a real fairy? Well most of us haven’t and they
will also say even that they do not believe in them. But don’t you think life
would have been interesting if fairies, pixies, ghouls, ogres and monsters existed
what if trees and animals talked and we could fly. You will think that all such
things are insane as practically it never happens. But during our childhood
days we were so found of fairy tales and fantasy stories. Even today in the
deepest corner of our heart a small kid exists who always refuses to believe
that fairies do not exist. We know that fairies do not exist but we want to
believe that they exist. Remember the movie enchanted and its concluding song-
“Story books ending with fairy
tales coming true
deep down inside we want to believe that they still do”
I know that I haven’t seen such
thing but I always want to believe that fairies are born when the baby laughs
for the first time and they protect them from all type of evil forces. Times
have changed and now the Man has started questioning the supremacy of God and
even his existence. If you will ask me I would say that I am a believer but it
is also true that I rarely go to temples. We must keep god in our heart and
soul and not just in idols. God loves those who unconditionally love him and
not those who fear him. We all must become God loving men not God fearing men.
Personally I hate those people
who pray to God in order to get something or to fulfill their wishes. God is
not a shopkeeper who would grant us our wishes if we offer prayer to him. Even
the Bhagvat says that that the bond love between God and devotee breaks the moment
the devotee demands something in return of his prayers. Prayers should be
offered to show affection to the almighty. Lord has created us he loves us and
he takes care of us he would always be there to take care of us as he had send
us to this mortal world for some purpose.
Don’t you think that even the
idea that god will grant us our wishes if we pray to him is a sin. Wont God be
deeply hurt when he sees people not loving him and praying him just to fulfill
their selfish concerns. Only the Satan would be happy if people come trembling
to him and start worshiping him out of fear.
