Worship or showoff

12/04/2010

This feeling from which I came across today was really very disgusting. Today I went to play snooker with my elder brother. It’s really nice having fun with your elder brother in your home town. We were cherishing the moments and filling our hearts with some astonishing memories. We had a very great game, I mean I lost by 5-1 but still it was nice (lol). On the way back to home we took a shortcut and we were walking on the streets of “DANAOLI”. It was really very hard to walk when the sun was on his peak, so we decided to take another shortcut for our way back to home. I don’t know it was the wise decision or the worst, but it was really hard to believe which I am going to describe in this post. So please guys if you are also doing this or in any case you are following these kind of traditions, then please I am begging you “ STOP DOING THIS “.
Ok here is the main part of that pathetic moment. As you all know that we took one more short cut for our way back to home. On the next very small street, I saw one kid was cleaning the small temple and washing all the tiles and also the other stuff of that temple. At that moment I was really amazed when I saw, that little boy was seriously doing that job with all his faith and trust. There wasn’t any sign of cheat or some manipulation in his mind or in his heart. So I started talking about that boy with my brother. That boy was doing this with all his pure heart and faith which I think amazed us, but on the very second step on that street I found a very strange thing. Someone literally covered a stone with some puja stuff like sinduur (chola ) and some other things which we use to dress up our Gods. I don’t know who did this but it was really unexpected from any human being.
Guys, you won’t believe me but on that corner GOD was placed on the road on the edge of the drainage pipe which was really pathetic. I really don’t expect this from anyone. This was really very harsh moment for me, and I am still very disappointed with the person who is responsible for this. I don’t understand the reason behind creating a new God or something like that. If we still seriously want to worship that stone as a GOD then please don’t let them down from their position of god. And please guys please just don’t treat them as a normal stone please. If that guy who ever did this really wanted to worship or want to pray then why can’t he/she go that temple which is on the few steps? It wasn’t really that far from the place where that boy was working. He/she can easily go to that place and can worship or can do whateverhe/she wants, but the way he chose to show their worship was not proper.
I really don’t understand the reason behind all these kind of nonsense stuff. It is really disgusting and creates a very big question in my mind, what is the need of all this type of things? If we seriously want to worship then we can do it anywhere, in any case at any place. Whatever I saw today was really pathetic and was really unexpected. I know we all live in liberal country, but does it mean that we can hurt anyone’s trust and his faith in GOD? The thing which I saw today was really a matter of shame for us and especially for that person who is responsible for this. Why can’t we use our mind before doing these kinds of thing? It hurts when you see these types of foolishness around you. But it is a moment of shame because we all are responsible for this. So guys if you all doing this for just “show off” or you have any other reason valid or invalid, I am really begging you please stop it. This is not the thing to show off or to pretend. It is all about our trust and faith in GOD, and some how you are creating an offence to all of them. When I think about today’s incident then the only thing which came in my mind is we will have to create some priority for all of these kinds of things. We need some boundaries for this; otherwise no one will take care of it. Right now not yet a single person is taking this seriously which is kind of a sober matter for me because it is all about “GOD”, the word on which i have all my faith.
No one is saying to worship like this by creating your own statue of GOD, neither does god want that. Then why don’t you all understand this. It is not at all necessary to create your own or to do this kind of foolish things. Does it really seem nice or proper in any case or in any way? For one moment if we think that ok you created one statue of GOD then don’t you have any other place for that statue of GOD? I don’t know what to say now because it is not at all a matter for discussion, and I am not suppose to say anything on this. We are not this much stupid that we can’t understand the meaning of the word “GOD”. On every level of life we pray of him. We tell him our problems, and discuss everything with him. Then how can we do this to him? Is this the way are we going to pay him back for all his kindness and for his blessings on us? Then please “THINK 1000 times” before doing such kind of nonsense.
