Defining Divinity: Who is God to You?

-

 Disclaimer: Some people or groups may find the following ideas and sentences offensive and I want to tell all the readers that it is not my intention to hurt anybody in anyway. Please understand. In this post I may address some ideologies and practices that were followed in the past and are being followed by some people even in today's scenario.

Let's start. Shall we?

Where is GOD? Actually, How do you define GOD? Well, if you ask me, I would say that GOD is the light in our darkness. GOD is the entity on which all the creation depends on. GOD gave us many things. We should really be grateful to GOD.

Here I am using the noun GOD always because, GOD is not someone or something who have gender, GOD is not something we can actually imagine. No one has seen GOD, well in present days anyway..... Then you may ask me how I was able to define the name GOD. Let me clarify some things for you here...

In this modern era, many people or let's say groups... are Atheists. They don't really believe in GOD or even the ideology of GOD. They only believe in Logic. They want some kind of proof in order to believe in anything... Then how can we Theists make them believe in something that cannot be proven? Let's not get into that topic now. We will see it later.

Let's concentrate on what some of us believe. If we take a look at the statistics about believers and non believers across the world, we can see that most of the world's population believe in GOD local to their region or they follow an ideology or whatever they like to believe in. That's not the problem actually. We have the freedom to follow any religion that we want.

But let's face the truth here, in the past 40 to 30 decades, how many murders or any other crime took place because of religion? Bear with me here... Why do you think those inhumane actions took place? In my point of view, I have to say that the people who had the audacity to do such things were unable to understand the basic concept of GOD or Godliness. What do you say? I am not insulting anyone. I am just sharing my thoughts here.

I haven't really had the privilege to read and understand all the religious books across the world, but I believe that in any religion there is a common thing that GOD has created the Mankind and gave them the ability to think and act and that we are answerable to all the things that we do. We define our own fate. And GOD is the owner of all creation. Not some individual or an earthly entity.

We have many religions across the world that are thriving for tens of thousands of years and some religions which are mostly ideologies, that are still trying to come out to this harsh world. 
All this aside, we should think about one thing though, if there are different GODS across the world, how come all the humans are built same? Why aren't some built differently? I mean we all bleed the same blood, some don't bleed diamonds, some don't bleed other precious items. We are built almost equally besides some physical and mental differences. If this is the case, why can't we accept all the religions? I consider GOD as shown in the two images here. You may have a different ideology of a GOD. The only difference is only the shape, size and color and maybe some principles and rituals. But the entity is the same. Why don't we believe in the truth that "All GODS are one and there is only one entity with different forms so that it would be easy for us to concentrate while we are offering our prayers. That if the thing we are concentrating has the form that we like and that represent what we believe in."

Why are we not thinking like this? Is there a problem with GOD because GOD decided to have many forms or is there a problem with us for thinking that there is only our GOD and others' GOD is a false GOD?

As I have asked earlier, Where is GOD? How can we say for sure that there is some divine power that is standing behind us and helping us to act? How sure are we that there was and there will be a GOD before this life and after this life?

Answers to these questions are, my friend, that GOD is within us. GOD is there within us when we are helping someone. GOD is there when we are selfless and GOD is there when we are at our lowest point to help us up. GOD is there in all of us irrespective of what we believe, irrespective of what we do, irrespective of what we believe in. GOD doesn't leave the non believers, we are all same for the Almighty irrespective of our deeds.


When we think like this, there will be no force conversions, conversions at gunpoint, there will be no wars waged based on religion. For our sake and for our children's sake, we have to believe that "THE WORLD IS ONE FAMILY".

The Woman of His Heart

Her hair, like a flowing river, cascades in waves of night, A silken stream that dances with the winds, so free, so light. Her forehead, a half moon, glowing soft with gentle grace, A celestial curve that crowns her serene and radiant face. Her eyebrows arch like an archer’s bow, precise and true, Framing eyes so deep and beautiful, where endless skies turn blue. Eyes that could make the strongest hearts surrender, drown, In the depths of their gaze, where even the stars might bow down. Her nose, sharp and fine, like an arrow’s steadfast aim, A perfect line that leads to where her silent whispers flame. Her ears, like petals of a lily, delicate and fair, They catch the music of the world, floating on the air. Her words are but songs, each note a melody of grace, Her voice, the nightingale’s, soft and pure in every space. Her breath, an ocean breeze, cool and fresh with every sigh, A whisper of the distant seas, beneath the vast blue sky. Her laughter, like a cascade of silver bells, ri...

A Garden of Silent Stars: The Unspoken Echo of Undying Devotion

-

Though some beginnings whisper faint and brief, And memories drift like leaves in autumn's grief, The heart’s most beautiful, profound mistake Is to fall deeply for a love it cannot forsake— A love that clings like moonlight to the night, Eternal in its longing, soft and bright, Even as it fades into dawn’s embrace, A fleeting touch, a whisper in time’s space. Your absence weaves a sorrowful tapestry, A delicate fabric that binds and sets me free. My yearning blooms like a garden’s silent song, Tender and deep, where heart’s desires belong, Flourishing wild with each beat of my soul, A verdant expanse that fills the empty hole. Protecting you like a wolf guards its sacred land, Fierce and loyal, with strength close at hand. A guardian ready to fight or to fall, Devotion as constant as the moon’s soft call, Enduring through night, as the stars gently gleam, A love that stands firm, like a timeless dream. Supporting you in paths you tread with grace, Embracing your dreams in a loving...
