Spiritual time out



At times the workings of the supreme are mysterious and different .
He truly doesnt need us humans to fight for him .
Iam only a seeker and i make no edictments on matters spiritual because the truth is I dont know !
But i do believe
Belief comes out of what you learn from your birth and how you rationalise it with the limited faculties available to you .

Without rationality it becomes dogma .

Strangely being a Hindu gives one the liberty to choose from being a seeker and /or a believer .
One can go to temples pray to an idol but viewing it as a God because the concept is so abstract that we need a form known to us to comprehend or wander the Himalayas knowing the nature around spells God in its every rustle .
One can say that there is nothing neither heaven nor hell and no superior inhabitant sitting atop the clouds with a magic wand .
That too is fine .
One of the best statement i heard
 (I wouldnt call it a joke ) is when God met man both said later ....Today I met my creator .

Another may find the positivity in a place of worship is what his God is .
The vibrations that trill his phreomones to joy be it in the resplendence of an idol or the nuances of a ritual prayer and prostration done with piety or in the rhytm of a choral or a sermon from the altar .

That feeling of fullness is spiritual bliss where you just know or feel the presence of God though like the blind men and the elephant you accept him or her (gender important these days ) based on your sensitivity .
Thats why temples were built in a fashion to increase that sensitivity  from  footwear less feet  or by the glow of   lit lamps or to the  listening to cymbals and drums in ritual music or by the adornments of an idol these senses of every visitor is heightened .

Temples and places of worship  are recharge centers for our souls .

Our views on things one  knows nothing about  by the tiny chinks open to one .

Within these limited parameters we form our opinions which are subject to changes once our vision gets widened and to me that happens when the time comes or when a soul is ready for it .

So till then lets rejoice in our belief never ever transgressing in anothers for true religion of the heart is accomodative and not combative .
Its all encompassing and never competitive .

Sorry for this rambling .

These were some thoughts that came out when we talked on this topic yesterday morning when we went to drop Shyam in the airport .

It was a spiritual time out with our son  .
