A boat was going to a distant land. Among other travelers there sat a poor beggar also. Some mischievous persons were teasing that beggar in all ways. When he was sitting in the night-prayer, they thought that at that time he would not be able to do anything and they started beating his head with shoes. He was in prayers and the tears of love were coming out of his eyes. Then there came a voice from the sky: “My dear, if you say I will upturn the boat”. Those persons become nervous. Other travelers were also upset. The recreation was getting costly. They all fell down at the feet of the beggar and started apologizing to him. When the beggar’s prayer came to the end he got up and spoke to those men: “Do not be worried”. Then he lifted up his face to the sky and said: “My dear God, in what language of the Satan are you talking? If you want to play the game of turning up, turn the intellect of this people. What use it will be to turn over the boat?” There was a voice from the sky once again:” I am very much pleased. You have rightly recognized the fact. The earlier voice was not mine. He who can recognize the voice of Satan can alone recognize my voice also.”
Believers in one God have broken the idols of the other God. In truth, it is nothing new. It has been happening all along. Only men are not rivals of one another, even their Gods are. In fact, the God that man creates cannot be very much different from what they themselves are. One temple stands against another because one man is the enemy of the other. One scripture is the enemy of the other because one man is the enemy of the other. As the man is, so is his religion. Where the man is, there is his God also.
Neither the religious leader nor the politician is interested in the people whom they pretend to lead. They are interested in being leaders ― and of course the leader cannot be without the led, so it is a necessity to go on promising the people things. Politicians promise them things of this world; religious leaders promise them things of the other world. But do you see any difference in what they are doing? Both are promising so that you go on following them, afraid to get lost somewhere else, because if you lose the path then you will miss the promise.
The promise keeps you with the crowd ― and promises don´t cost anything. You can promise anything. Promises are always for tomorrow, and tomorrow never comes. God is Now & here this very moment.
A Christian missionary met me a few days ago and she said, "God created the world."
So I asked him, "Who created sin?"
He said, "The devil."
Then I asked him, "Who created the devil?"
Then he was at a loss. He said, "Of course, God created the devil."
The devil creates sin and God creates the devil. Then who is the real sinner—the devil or God?
God cannot kill the devil but the devil can kill god
The day he stops his work & god dies
Die every moment to be born again...
Hmm..
i have understood completely what u want to say
ReplyDeletei just feel it is so true we will have no use of "God" at all if there is only "Good" in the world ie if the "devil" is "dead".God dies automatically, no one will need God since no one fears any evil. Vow it all seems very ideal. But is it possible.
God is with you every moment if you really have faith. One should live every moment of life fully and not leaving any moment let go with out your knowledge. That is the good spirit of living life.
ReplyDeleteOne should also know why are they living this life? What is the purpose of one's life. What are we doing in this life? Are we just born to suffer and die and see peopel treat us badly everyday? Do we really have to live this life like this? Did God really create this world for this purpose?
I think, NO. God definately have good purpose for human life on earth. It only takes ones spirit and faith, how you look at it and how it makes sense to you.
Just to reply to what you are saying in the last paragraph there, that, Did God created the Devil? Definately NOT. God did not create the Devil him self.
What is the job of one parent? Give birth to their children. Now one parent can have more than two kids and parents love their children dearly without any discrimination or any favoratism. Parents would give all the children the same knowledge and same love, but now all of a sudden one child decides to disobey or disown or lack of a better term, not listen to his/her parents and becomes bad, you can not blame parents for giving birth to the bad child. It is not their will or wish of what child decides to do or go where they want to go. Parents can only guide them and upto certain point stop them, but you can not stop the rebellion. Now here you can not really blame parents for giving birth to the bad child. It is only childs free will to chose the bad way and become "Devil".
So similarly, God did create Spirit creatures and out of one decided to become rebellion and lead his life bad way and challange God's rulership. It is not Gods wish.
What the hell Iyer!!!!
