It has been a silent and steady path, without going back and forth, with a strong belief that I hold today..My God is not outside of me. My God lies deep within me. He is not someone else, my God is me and I find him through all that I choose to be. I am answerable to myself first.
I may visit a temple or two rarely to experience the ambience or quiet within. I am increasingly finding it difficult to look at a deity in the temple and pray. I do experience something powerful in that rare temple visiting experience, which i attribute to people's faith that fills the atmosphere there. Am unable to hold an external image of God anymore..It almost seems fake and meaningless..no am not an aetheist at all..
My God is deep inside me in various forms.
I reach God through my experience of bliss when one with music.
I reach God through those minor steps that take me deeper into myself leading me to own up my blind spots.
I reach God through my own conscience that keeps reminding me that there are also greys inbetween blacks and whites.
I reach God through the wringing pain I experience when I see or hear of animal suffering.
I reach God through my intuition that has been a forever friend.
My God is an integration of the good, bad and ugly within me, all of it together that makes me "me".

Food for thought..only if you have the time to mull over this..
This I write since I enjoy timelessness and it is a very rare commodity these days atleast the way my life has got configured in the recent years!
Time is afterall a man made concept. Man keeps coming up with newer and newer ideas and methods to change the world anyway..WHAT IF..The whole concept of 24 hours being a day is changed to add 12 more hours to everyday. Should the sun going up and going down necessarily decide when we eat and when we sleep. Why is the sun allowed to decide one's age? If everyday is stretched by 12 more hours, say, I can think of many many more things to add to the recipe of everyday, an important ingredient being "timelessness" to put my feet up and relax.
Isn't it a great way to slow down the ageing process..while there are so many artificial cosmetics in the market that attempt to defy age, why not make it scientific thus!! Ok, is it going to cause havoc to your body clock, with night and day routines getting mixed up?..so let us stretch everyday by 24 more hours then and make it a 48 hour day then..not that i mind! The only issue here is that the much awaited weekends will take longer to arrive, but then there is a price that we pay for everything.
I started writing this for fun, but the more I think about it, am actually convinced it willl have great positive effects on this world..may be this is the only way to slow down. Few centuries later, this might just be spoken of in Geography text books as a concept ( of course there may be no concept of a text book then!!) Another thing, this will help our ageing parents feel just half their age and feel energetic in their minds too. Also, this is another good way of helping our children not grow up so fast as they are today..
I hear of 10 yr old boys in India asking girls out..and btw times have changed too..I hear of girls the same age actively pursuing boys too..Sorry, am an old timer at heart..why is this world going so fast, and where is it headed in this maniacal race.. my head is reeling..am I alone in this thought ????
