Faith - Yours, Mine, Today & Tomorrow

G, O and D are three letters placed one after the other. Human being have associated a sound and meaning to this composition, if you like. Then  a variety of images and tales were intertwined to represent this in various forms and shapes. This however, is not language specific, we find it resonate in almost all languages or dialects that exist or ever existed. Conflicts apart, we have the right to have our own meaning and understanding of what GOD represents in whichever language and that’s our FAITH. A very personal realization.

Looking at the creation of life with all its complexities and our attempt to replicate bits or pieces of  this complex life through engineering projects  have proved beyond doubt that there is someone out there with much superior know-how. Know-how, knowledge, wisdom or power whatever way we choose to define. Whether they constantly monitor us or listens to our prayers will probably remain a mystery to be solved at the aftermath of this lifetime if realization does exist in that zone. Therefore let our own conscience monitor our thoughts and action to make this world worth dwelling.

We, having biodegradable physical characteristics will become dust in no time and those dust shall continue to be part of a new entity till the eternity…..but the spirit if there is one, will remain as a form of energy and that is my faith. I will not argue if you think this is a pagan philosophy! Because that's yours faith.

My cousin and I were once going through a particularly rough spell in our lives. One night having dined and wined along with lot of complain about HIM and HIS justice, we stepped down into the Kolkata footpath. Walking towards the car, I observed a lady saying her goodnight prayer outside her shanty home. It was width of the footpath and so low that she could not stand up once inside. She was saying her good night prayer….probably thanking the Almighty for his blessings and wishing for a brighter tomorrow.

That’s her faith and by far is the most beautiful albeit blind. But blind Faith is the force that will keep human being going. Because we know so little about our existence!
