He scoffs at the letters I wrote
And sometimes smiles angrily
My questions gauche
He bothers not to answer….

Belief mostly has no substance. Like fluidity of water it can flow like a stream often running the risk of crossing the path of other streams. It mostly takes the shape of an individual’s perceptions. There are certain beliefs that I never question. Courage is often a recluse and truth is repulsive. I never question the Truth. It is something that is beyond my capacity and I intend not to indulge in this blasphemy. Someone fashions over a drink to be atheist and often emphasizes the relativity of belief and exactness of science. Few questions that such vertical stream of education fails to answer is put sorely on psychometric conditions. They always seek an answer and I seek never to question.

Some annoy of people disturbs the belief.

It is precisely because truth is relative to the perceiver that I will question, for no man's words nor his books will make it a truth for me until I myself have experienced it. Yet I understand your truth because it is your perception.

Jeevan: yes buddy tht s so true. thank u

-----------------------------------

Janice: exactly my friend. It is so seldom tht people realise tht truth is also relative. there is nothing called absolute truth. my belief in Him is my belief ... it is personal ... it is borne out of experience ... it is very easy to change it with a sudden negative turn tht life might take ... "Why me?" "Why me?" is the cry we so often hear ... but have you ever heard someone cry "Why me?" when the going is good ... tht is accepted as a right ... if tht was ur right isnt the sadness / hardship also ur right ... if I remembered Him only when I feel I need Him, isnt it also blasphemy .... beliefs can change so easily with time ... it takes tremendous courage to hold on to the belief unless it has been proven beyond doubt tht the belief is indeed wrong .... everyones belief is their perception ... no one but the individual can influence it if he knows how to hold on to it ... What the man who changes beliefs with every perception going around in the corner ... thank u for ur thought

Sometimes, certain things shud go unread coz its only understood.

Alok said...

pria: but then if it is understood why do we still question ... Is it wrong to question ... is it always right to accept .... except for God I hope I can challenge everything ... God to me is unquestionable

excellently put.

We have no courage to pursue our belief because the truth might be different. We have no truth to say, when we don't believe. We have no courage to question either because the world doesn't care and we would never get an answer.

All streams, be if belief, courage, truth, lies, science, religion, their flow can be stopped, diverted, inverted...because they subscribe to the flow of time. the only god we have is Time.

.. says it all, doesnt it?

and what Jnaice says holds for me..
for no man's words nor his books will make it a truth for me until I myself have experienced it.

unfortunately there are too many people willing to manipulate and misinterpret to their own needs and greed for power, leading a flock can be heady. and that is why when someone tries to sway people's beliefs, they need to be questioned.
