In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with God, and the Word was God. I grew up reading the Bible knowing the
existence of God based on how it is recorded in the Bible. I believed in a God
who was self existing from time immortal. This God whom I know was not created,
but I believe is the creator of everything. No one made Him a God, but He is
that supreme power that He is.
The perception of this supernatural being called
God which I have picturized within me, seems to be so different from what many
have in this country. This ‘God’, I now see, seems that He can be easily
created. The things I learnt growing up are different from what it is now. I realized
now that becoming god is easy in the land where I live in.
Easy steps to become God:
- Become a master blaster cricketer:
In a
nation obsessed by the game of cricket, all you need to do is to become a very
good batsman. Score loads of runs even if your team loses the match. All you
have to do is to play cricket all your life. Money and fame will be at your
door step. You will be crowned ‘The God of Cricket’.
Requirement: Have a strong, fit
body.
- Start acting:
Entering
the film industry would be the best idea if you ever thought of becoming a God.
If you become a superstar, you become a god. People will build places of
worship for you. Most of the actors and actress have these things built for
them.
Requirement: Should be born in a wealthy family. Fair/dark skin, fat/muscular body not needed.
- Enter
politics:
You
become popular and powerful when you become a politician. Place of worships are
built for politicians and they are worshiped.
Requirement: Should be good in
convincing masses. Should be an exception in knowing all the crooked ways. If you’re good at cheating, then this is the right choice.
- Dress less and
Meditate more:
Yes, if
you dress less, wearing minimal clothes and sit under a tree motionless for
some days, you are in for a surprise when you open your eyes. People would have
built a place of worship around you and would be performing spiritual rituals
to you. This too, like the above is a very enticing way to become god.
The common result for all the above ways is that
fame, money and power are guaranteed which come along with a ‘god’ status. So, isn't it easy?
Analyzing this issue:
I pondered on this for many days trying to
understand this whole concept of who god is? Why does a man believe that
another commoner, the same human as he is, is a superhuman being? The answer is
simple. The search for god, is what makes him do all these things.
The quest for peace, joy, love and happiness ends
with God. When man realizes this, he starts searching for God. This search
makes him go to extends where he ends up doing the same old things as before
if, he does not end up on the right path which is, as recorded in the Holy
scriptures’, as Jesus said ‘’I am the way, the truth, and the life:’’
