Miracle

Strangely, it is HIS wrath and
the disastrous consequences of his anger that symbolizes HIS Glory than His
benevolence.
It is not Surprising therefore
that accidents, misfortunes, catastrophes and anything beyond human control is
attributed to “ GOD'S WILL”. As a result hospitals, examination centres,
interview chambers are often prominent locations of prayers to GOD than any temple, church or
mosque. That GOD universally referred to
as “magnanimous”, “compassionate” etc; will decimate everything if enraged is a
deep-rooted belief.
The more observant among men
(Including Women) have realized this
“Fear of God” ensures instant profit and
hence the businesses of machinated religion are proliferating. Peculiar
rituals, poojas and prayers have been devised . Dogged by perpetual hardship
& pressures the simple, superstitious common man easily
gets ensnared in the trickery. As
more people begin to blindly follow the
perpetrator he/she gradually transforms
into a Guruji, Baba, mathe, or Devi.
These tricksters ,
in general, are intelligent organizers and shrewd entrepreneurs and know the
tricks of the trade very well. In the name of God, they run lucrative businesses. Startup costs and initial investment are
negligible. The beard that they grow and the ‘costumes’ they select add to their
respectability and influence. All that they need is a patch of land & initially a gang of ‘chelas’ and gift of gab to propagate their ‘mystical’ Powers
Sadly, even people with knowledge &
power to reason conclude that
this is DEVOUTNESS .
Science has
provided modern mankind with immense power of verification. However
superstitions & blind-belief are in resurgence, not only in India but all
over the world. A sad state of affairs indeed. And no one is more happy about
this than the wily GODMAN who rides the road to Billions/crores .
The self styled religious Spiritual Gurus have recognized the strong nexus between politicians and religion. They
have mastered the art of sowing fear in the weak minded & have started
training their agents and apprentices to adopt the same dubious techniques in
the political scene. Gradually it will
become more blatant.
Earlier Politicians enlisted
goons to do their dirty work. In time
these goons themselves become active politicians.
Every one of these ruffians
has his chosen GURUJI on whom he totally
depends to get trained in the art of using deception & fear to dominate
people. The more enterprising among these Peddlers of Faith begin to sidestep the politician . These
Charlatans are wizards of deception .
It is no wonder that political
public meetings resemble religious satsangs.
Saints, Swamijis,sants, Babas, Gurujis,Mathes, Devis, Padres, Moulvis of
all shades are prominent Invitees. It will not be wrong
to assume that they will be our new
masters and the Rulers of our country.
The day is not too far
away when surrender of the common man
will be complete. With his revered Baba guiding him in every aspect of
life, it will be fair to assume that reason and power of judgement will be buried and then he will live in
peace…. peace… peace! ओम् तत् सत्,
Has the clock struck?

Holds a good mirror to the unfortunate state of affairs prevalent today . The few voices of sanity are not loud enough to distract the general din.
Faith in gods and godmen becomes the last resort , the last straw to clutuch to keep sane and afloat when life is buffetted by insurmountable difficulties or perplexities . Even those who profess atheism or Rationalism , secretly harbour such faith . And wily charlatans know how to take advantage of such FenceSitters too . We have today Selfstyled Gurus with admirable gift of gab , who sell well packaged bunkum to suit such wishy washy beliefs . There is no use lamenting over the foolishness of consumers in this market . Each has to walk his own path , stumble on his own rocks and gain his own wisdom .
Democracy gives the Right to live in Fool’s Paradise too !
