Intrigued by epics,myths and pragmatic stories as bed time trivia by granny along with intellectual spoon-feeding by a staunch Shivite dad and some googling of Samkhya, Mimamsa and Rig Veda which are historical hindu philosophies and schools of thought of atheism, it has always tempted me to think "What does it take to feel like God?" (ok...apart from weed...).They(don't ask me who) say God created everything from the speck of sand to Justin Beiber (must've regretted His mistake later though),fine...so God is the creator and we creatures are His creation.But if He is called God because he is the creator,don't all of us create something all the time in our own small way (yeah you can include the spontaneous creativity put onto paper while writing exams or when caught red handed by mom while sneaking into the house in the wee hours) So are we God too? (No I did'nt watch the movie "Anbe Sivam" last night).
Recent as well as events of the past only re-iterate the bitter bare-faced truth that God-the creator, has done a commendable job(sarcasm intended ),with his own creations eating up the other(literally and figuratively) in the food chain or food web (wow!!!! so afterall I did study some science in my primary school!!!!) to rapists and murderers who are still singing merry christmas or partying on New year's eve. Looks like God has been sentenced to life,thrown into the dark alleyed dungeons of the hearts, in these heartless creatures.
Or was God-the creator, a creation Himself,created by the so called inhumane human beings,to allay the ruckus of the devil in everyone?Hmmmm...This whole God formula is a bit beyond my ken...and then we have the Greek and Roman mythology where there is a specialist God for anything and everything (gotta meet these guys Eros and Cupid,have some business proposals to discuss) And not to mention the Indian Mythology where there are families of Gods and Godesses,draped in silk and adorned by gold,silver,platinum,diamonds....(now I have to say....)and God only knows what more....Just on a lighter note,imagine a conversation among the Godesses Lakshmi,Saraswati and Parvati,
Saraswati: Hey Lachu,I like your new earrings,but why dont you try something new rather the same red saree...?
Lakshmi: Oh come on Saras!! why dont you take a break from hitting the books you nerd!!! and yeah that latest track on your album was pathetic!dont sing that anymore!!!
Parvati: Hey girls!!! knock it off now!!!! My son is missing,seems he was seen trekking to the hill top,that too half dressed!!! he never told me that he had a vacation plan!!!! let the little mink come back...He is gonna be grounded for a week!!!!
So coming back to the real stuff,this is where I see God,not in the creator but in creativity.And if there is God as claimed by a ballpark figure of say 97% of the world's population...there is just one question I would like to ask Him "Hey dude!!!hey you up there!!! (or wherever you are) How does it feel to be God? and P.S.When are you retiring? (typical Indian,going for extra one).
