Thinking
of the God as the sustainable laws of life personified has never been as
tempting as thinking of Him as a believable entity with unlimited powers and benevolence.
The former is a terse philosophy of life demanding unwavering commitments; and
the latter is the sweet fragrance of beauty much pleasing to our senses and
gratifying to our mind.
All the sets of common demands made to the man as
preconditions for a life worth living include the name of the God in the first
place. The man has always responded with the thought of pain when the references
to his duties are made; and the thought of vague dreams when the references of his
wishes are made.
Being much confused by his own responses to his life, it
seems the man has stopped taking his life very seriously. There are varieties
of philosophies that are being accepted with partial convictions to make our
lives go on. Life is an illusion, life is a one-time opportunity to gratify our
senses, life is something that must not be taken very seriously to derive the
best out of it, and there are many more that we can pick up from, depending on
our experiences, training and conditioning. We live our lives distancing our lives
from that of the others; living, nonliving and that are yet to live, if the
lives of others do not suit ours. We are setting a bad precedence.
The question is how must we accept the concept of the God to
make our lives live example of living to
inspire others, living or those who are yet to live, to build an environment
and set a trend that add value to life, in general. Maybe, then the mankind would be able to
realize his full potential. As such, what are we doing today, except for stagnating
and degenerating?
