Faith
redefined….????????
"Religion"...The
word itself is one of the most debated and controversial topic, not only
in today's world but since ancient times. And I won’t be getting into
the discussion of it with my limited knowledge…But dont you think religion is a
relative term which depends on the time and place of your birth? Confused??? I
mean to say that I am a Hindu Bengali girl because I was born in Kolkata in a
Hindu family, so I belief in Shiv, Vishnu and in other Gods of Hindu Mythology,
but what if I was born in Afghanistan?? Won’t I
be worshiping Allah??????
Ultimately which matters is
faith..Religion may be relative but faith is universal. Its buried deep in our
very existence...the faith in a Supreme Being…The fear of accountability to
that Power....
Today I was going through the news and
came across an interesting piece of news....Scientist had found a new sub
atomic particle which is supposed to be the key to understanding why there is
diversity and life in the Universe. This piece of news elated me as well as
forced me to think theologically...The word God is not just a image whom we
fear and worship but a strength…And a part of our existence. Our Parents
had taught us that God by his magic wand has created universe and is
constantly looking down at us, rewarding us for our good deeds and punishing
for the evil ones. The very sense of accountability towards our creator helps
us to become a better human being in this today’s pitiless world.
But after this extraordinary discovery,
will God be limited to a mere three lettered word for our next generation or it
will enhance the respect for an invisible creator? Well, the answer to this is
yet to reveal itself….
