IS IT DESTINY:

Are we all destined to take our place on this earth, to be born, scientifically we do know, how we are conceived, but then there are thousands of healthy couples who are capable, but still they are unable to conceive a child, for which science is having no definite answer

as to why this happens, so are we really ordained?

If we yes then, should we not construe that, “If life is by accident then death is imminent.” There has to be someone who is writing our destiny, over the tens and thousands of years, the sages, the philosophers do have called this creator of life, as God, a Super Power.

Down the ages, mankind has got divided in various religions, sects, each having their own versions of God, ultimately the Creator was also destined to be divided in different forms, with diverse names, man divided his own Creator.

Was this also our destiny, or was it a mistake on part of our Creator, how come God was fallible, was He? Or was it His own way of teaching us, that what you are doing is the wrong thing, do not divide yourself, that you all are same; all are equal in His eyes. If that was the case why did we fail, was our personal ambition, our greed as overwhelming as to, not pay heed to our very own Creator’s teachings

It is but obvious that few adamant, greedy, over ambitious individuals, turned into radicals, decided to play the role of god, they were not satisfied in splitting humanity on grounds of religion and took one step further towards the nadir, by splitting the masses into classes and sub classes, different factions, castes and creeds, spreading a wave of hatred, pitching men against men, brothers against brothers, sisters against sisters, up in arms against each others.

A process started by fanatics, today being fuelled by preachers, by politicians for their own personal immoral gains, without any compunction, these very handful of unscrupulous elements are ruling the world, somewhere drastically something has gone wayward, or is that God has taken a back seat, contemplating what destiny should be written or is the era of godliness over, has God gone into hibernation and Satan taken over.

Looking at the chaos all around us, the mayhem that is taking place, the bloodshed in the name of religion, power and material gains that has been let loose, as some wild dogs on the scent of blood trail and hounding behind their prey, it seems understandable that, God has taken the back seat, so as to rewrite the destiny of mankind and in the meanwhile, allowed an open field to Satan.

BEAUTY & BEAUTIFUL

Let me start this article on a hypothetical note or rather a question, not much of it though, here it is, when I say beauty, what is it that comes to your mind, is it a picture of some beautiful girl, or do you visualize a landscape, with all those vivid colors one can associate with, while taking in the beauty of nature, or for that matter, different people will be beholding different objects, in their mind’s eye at the same time, as their views on beauty, beautiful, differ.

As per the dictionary/thesaurus, the word beauty is defined as:-

1. The combination of all the qualities of a person or thing that delights the sense and mind.

2. A very attractive woman.

3. Informal an outstanding example of its kind.

4. Informal an advantageous feature: the beauty of this job is the short hours [Latin bellus handsome]

But then the crux of the matter, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, for every individual is programmed to visualize things in his own perspectives, to this allow me to add my very own maxim: If physical beauty is skin deep, than Spiritual beauty is Soul deep. I am sure many of you’ll will agree with this truism.

That reminds me of a very touching incidence, which only goes to vindicate my above stance I was at this general hospital some years back, along with my acquaintance, next to me a young couple were playing with their child, who could barely stand, was weak, underweight,, skinny and with a complexion, that of a dark charred skin.

All the while the parents were doting over their child and calling him as the most beautiful child in the world, the strongest, and the most handsome and so on and on… I was observing the onlookers bemused expressions, some with revulsion, some with dismay, all this was believe me, was not lost upon the parents but nonetheless they went on, playing with the child in the same monotonous way.

After a while I inquired as to their plight, I got to learn, the child had some problem with his heart, that the chances were dim and went on to add, that they were aware, they had a child whose appearance was ugly, but then for a creator all his creations are beautiful isn’t it, see around us what God has created, they went on, there are beautiful things and equally ugly things, but again that is our perspective, if you should ask God as to which is his most beautiful creation or for that matter the ugliest creation, would he be able, to answer this question?

I for one was taken aback and was speechless, how right they were, it was a lesson to be learnt from seemingly illiterate people, but then, learning is achieved through wisdom, but wisdom is not achieved through learning. Yes! I too am sure; God would not have been able to answer this question, after all beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. AMEN.
