THE PHILOSOPHY OF

GOD…    

 

 

 

Each & everything has a creator. There is a creator after everything that happens or takes place. There is a creator of this table, the desk. There is a creator of this pen too.  There is a creator of this classroom.  The food we eat has more than one   creator. The last one is of course our mother, and about the second one, you would say it is a farmer who grows the different kind of grains but the first creator is of course the GOD. He is the first creator. That the creator is indifferent from his creation is a well-known fact. No creator is different from his or her creation.  Whenever we’re talking about the GOD, many questions arise in our mind. Like who is GOD? Where does he leave, How he looks like, is he a male or a female? 

 

There are many answers for such kind of questions. Someone would say, that he lives in Heaven. Someone would say that he is the head of the whole Universe. The next question is that where he lives, the answer is he is everywhere, because the fact that the GOD is everywhere is well known, moreover, the creator is never indifferent from his creation and so the GOD too is not indifferent from his creation, the Universe. The answer it self says that the creator is not different from the creation and so the GOD.

 

Everything is made of five basic elements, those are, Air, Water, Fire, Earth & Space. Our body is a unique example of these things. We take air while breathing. We digest the food by the inner fire of our body & soul. Blood is made of water & other elements. Our whole body is made of clay. It is made of clay & it’ll be with clay after our death. Each living being is nothing without soul. So we can say that the creator is not different from the creation. Every human being uses these five basic elements.  We are made of these five basic elements. These five basic elements are the things that have created the whole universe & the earth. We also are made of these five elements & so the GOD. From these five basic elements the water, the fire, & the air is formless. Therefore we can say that the creator is not different from the creation & so the GOD.               

 

The GOD is worshipped as Space in Chidambaram, in Kalahasti he is worshipped as the Air, in Tiruvannamalai he is worshipped as the Fire, in Tiruchallapali he is worshipped as the Water & in Kanchipuram he is worshipped as the Earth.

 

Nowadays there is a kind of craze seen in the teenagers that craze is saying and emphasizing that he or she, the teenager, is not believing in the GOD.  Now there is difference between knowing and believing the GOD. “I don’t believe in GOD” is the answer I god from most persons.  As I said there is difference between believing and knowing the GOD. And there is difference between belief & knowledge too. Without having proper knowledge about something if we say that this is right and this is like this and it looks like this that is belief.  We don’t have enough information about a proper thing and still we are saying that that proper thing is like this and it behaves in this way that is belief.              

 

In belief, we don’t have enough information about a proper thing. We must’ve to say that this is so & so. That is belief. Then there is the knowledge, what is knowledge when we are satisfied and when we’ve enough and proper knowledge with confidence about a proper thing then we can say that I’ve the knowledge about that proper thing.  You are giving your exams and you don’t know how the papers are going to be, then if you say that, the papers are going to be tuff that is a belief. You don’t know how the papers are but still if you say that the papers are going to be very easy then we say can that you believe that the papers are easy. 

 

 

There is a red colored pen in my pocket. All of you can see the pen so you can say that you know that there is a red colored pen in my right pocket. Now if I ask you to go and see if there is a war going on between India & Pakistan without any kind of communication instruments then? What would happen if you were asked to get the right information about a war going on between two countries without any kind of instruments?  You may say that there may be a war and there may not be.  There may be water in the glass in the kitchen and there may not be, because you cannot see the water in the glass. There may be a student in the lab and there may not be. When there is no total information about that proper thing then that is a belief. So, this is the difference between the belief & the knowledge. When you’ve perfect knowledge about god and then you are saying that I BELIEVE in GOD! , How this is possible?

 

All of us know that the GOD is everywhere. Still we are not ready to believe him is a surprise. There are two circumstances for GOD, to be or not to be. The GOD may be there and he may not be. Some of you may say that he is not there. Some of you may can that he is there. This is the question between being an atheistic & theistic. The same philosophy is applied for knowing the GOD & believing in him.

 

That the creator is not different from the creation is a fact. ISVARA is everywhere and he is in everything because he is the creator of this UNIVERSE. Nothing in this universe is purposeless. Each & everything is purposeful. Trees are purposeful. The rivers are purposeful. The mountains are purposeful. The air is purposeful. The jungles are purposeful. The animals are purposeful. Human body is purposeful. The whole anatomy series is purposeful. Our eye is purposeful. Our hair is purposeful.  Our hands are purposeful. Our kidneys are purposeful. Our ears are purposeful. And when our body functions are purposeful then why the other’s. The other person’s body too is purposeful. Even the other person is purposeful. Everything is purposeful. Accept?

 

Nothing is purposeless. Each & everything is purposeful and so this whole UNIVERSE too is purposeful. He gave us eye on the front side of our face so that we can see the frontiers. He gave is the nose on the front side of our face so that we can smell everything. Imagine a nose on the backside of your head. Each  & everything that is eaten by you would’ve to be smelt from the backside firstly and then you would go to eat that food so everything is purposeful.

 

 

The crows are helpful in running the food cycle. The pigs are also helpful in keeping the cleanness. The bees are helpful to us in getting the honey. The small insects are helpful in food cycle; they are useful for the animals like snakes. So, each & everything in this world is helpful, it is useful. Nothing is useless. Even the grass is useful. The grain is useful. Each & everything is helpful to us. So, the creator too is useful. There are many types of creators. That the creator is never independent from his creation is a well-known fact. So, the GOD too is not different from this universe and therefore we can say that the GOD is everywhere.

 

Again, I should talk about the difference between knowledge & belief. What is knowledge & what is belief? When we’ve total information for a proper thing then we can say that that thing is known by us. But when we’re not having enough information for a proper thing and then if we say that that thing may be like this or that, then it is belief. To create something we need knowledge. So, the creator comes after the knowledge not the belief. The creator is the second thing coming after knowledge. Creator is nothing without the knowledge. Knowledge is necessary. You are a carpenter and you’re supposed to build a table set, but you don’t have enough information about creating a table then? What would you do? To build an over bridge the engineer requires the knowledge. Without knowledge, he is nothing. A creator is nothing without knowledge. To grow the grain a farmer requires knowledge. To collect honey from the honeycomb a comber requires knowledge. To become computer software professional we require knowledge so we learn it from the tutor who already is having knowledge of computers. But where did he got that knowledge? You may say that he also learnt that from his tutors. But what about his tutors? Where did they learn it? You may say they also learnt the same course from their tutors. And what about their tutors? The answers are many. Someone would say that he learnt that from a book. So, who wrote the book? , Who designed the computer course? The person who had knowledge, created the computer course. But he didn’t got the knowledge he’d belief for creating or developing such a program. So, we can say that he is the GOD of that field who created the field.

 

The terminator has the knowledge to terminate a thing. But where did he get that knowledge?  You may say he got that from his master. But from where did his master get the knowledge for terminating a thing?  The answer is he got that from his master but what about his master’s master? The answer is knowledge & belief. The person who created that knowledge had the belief for creating such kind of personality. That’s why he could create the knowledge & so the GOD too had the knowledge of creating the UNIVERSE.

 

So, GOD had the belief and then he went for knowledge & so he could create the whole UNIVERSE is also a belief…

 

Now, there are two kind of causes. The simple cause & the intelligent cause. The cause is the creation. And, so, the creator is known as causer. To create something means to create a cause. A cause means a creation. So, we can say that there are two types of creation, one is simple cause, and the second one is the intelligent cause. The intelligent creator is always with its creation but the simple creator.  The GOD is the intelligent creator we can say because he is always with his creation. The seasons are intelligent creation. The animals are intelligent. The telephone is an intelligent creation. The car is an intelligent creation. The computer too is an intelligent creation. But each & everything is not intelligent.

 

To create something requires both knowledge & belief. The belief comes first and then the knowledge. Strength too is necessary. As the GOD has six BHAGAHAS: he has the capability of creating a thing.

 

The GOD is one but the causes are different. The phone is one but the types are different. Software is one but the branches are different. Humanity is one but the humans are different. The GOD is one but the forms are different. There are many forms of animals, many forms of humans and so the GOD.  The GOD is one but the humans have departed him in many forms. There are mainly three things those controls the whole UNIVERSE, The Bramha, the Vishnu, & the Mahesh. The Bramha is the creator, the Vishnu is the sustainer, & the Mahesh is the Destroyer. They are working for creating new things, keeping them, & destroying them. The Bramha creates new things, so we can say that he created the whole UNIVERSE and the Vishnu & Mahesh. He departed his work with them for sustaining & destroying the creations. The Vishnu sustains the UNIVERSE, and the Mahesh destroys the creations those have become useless. So, the Brahma is the father of this UNIVERSE.

 

 The creator is never different from his creation. In Gujarati there is a saying that `to create a flower takes a decade for us & to destroy it one second’ so, the Brahma is the father of this UNIVERSE we can say. Each thing has a past and so the Brahma too. Also, the Brahma came from those five basic elements. Now where those five basic elements came from? Did they come from the Big Bang? Then where did the Big Bang come from? It is like child psychology, once a child asked his mother where did he come from.  The mother replied that she bought him from the temple of God Shiva. The child again asked who God Shiva is. The mother said God Shiva is a God. Where does he live? Asked the child. The mother said in the temple. The child didn’t look satisfied.

 

 This is how child psychologists are working with the child. They also create the questions and then they represent themselves as a solution. The union leaders too are working with the same way. First, they create the problems with the factories & factory workers and then they represent themselves as the solution. And this is how the GOD is working. He left no solutions for us. Cuckoo can sing only when the spring is in the air but Man can sing in spite of a spring.  The Brahma is one but then comes the Shiva. We can say that Shiva is the second lord after the Brahma. But still the Brahma is the one.

 

Now, the GOD is one but the forms are different. There are many forms of lord. There is Shiva, Ganesha, Hanumana, Indra, Varuna, Krishna, and Rama etc. there are goddess like Sarasvati, Parvati, Laxmi etc. too. These are not sons or daughters of the lord Brahma. They are just different forms of Brahma. Still, there is one thing remaining. Rama & KRISHNA are not the form of GOD.   They are the real persons. In old times, they were present there and we’ve got the proof. We’ve the livings for them. Rama used to live in Ayodhiya & KRISHNA in Gokul. Still, we have been considering them as the form of GOD. They were just the form of GOD they were not LORD.

 

So, the rest are known as the ISTA Deltas. Now what does I mean when I say that they are ISTA Deltas? The ISTA Devta means the form of GOD that is worshipped by our family for centuries.  He who is worshipped as our GOD for centuries by our families is our ISTA Devta.

 

The God remain unknown all the type. There are two types of people in the world. One, those are Hidden Performer, they keep working all the time and don’t even aspect respect from anyone. They don’t need to show what they’ve achieved, they just keep working and when they achieve something, the result speaks itself. The other type of people is always found talking about what they are doing or are going to do or what they had done. They always keep talking about their deeds; they show what is being done or going to be done by them all the time. The first type of people is called Hidden Performers; they just keep working all the time. The GOD is also known as a Hidden Performer. He performs each  & everything silently.

 

Friends are a form of GOD. The way we worship our god, they worship each other. We've to feel the GOD. We cannot mage him. When a substance's got a form it is possible for us to map that out, but when a substance isn't got anything like a form it is not possible at all to map that thing out.

 

God & also a Friend are not possible to map out at all. Who & What is a Friend? What is a Form?

A friend is a god & god is a friend.

God is the creator. And a creator is a friendly person. In the same way a friendly person is our friend. A true friend never less than GOD

Words that lighten any heart give some succor and make life worthwhile. Friendship is rare. Forge new bonds and renew old ties. Friendships that have endured lasted and strengthened with the passage of time.  If love means going weak in the knees at first sight followed by chat mangni, pat byah then think twice before forwarding this concept to these select groups of exclusive people like ram & laxmana, like Krishna & sudama.  Friends are those people who make our lives special. And Friendship day is the right time to make them feel so.  To tell them how much they mean to you, how much you value the unique bond you share in so many ways. Though you'll get many suggestions, it's best to use your imaginations.  Anyway here is the kind of stuff that can be written. You can say, Thank you for believing in me when I found it difficult to believe in my self. Thank you for saying what I've needed to hear instead of what I wanted to hear. Thanks for being a true friend in so many simple ways. I'll never find another friend to take your place; No one will ever touch my world exactly like you do. No one has ever meant.  

Friendship is like a baby, when it is born, it requires time attention and care but once it grows it becomes strong on whose shoulder you can depend. Being a good friend, and having a good friend, riches our days and brings life-long satisfaction. But friendships don’t just happen. They have to be created and nurtured. A few tip to strengthen your friendship bond. Gift each other for no reason. It's a wonderful gesture and will be appreciated especially if the gift is handmade.  Go together for a holiday and create some memorable moments for store. Plant a friendship tree and nurture it together as a symbol of your friendship.  Be a good listener and give space to your friendship to let it grow freely. Invite your friend at your place, cook his/her favorite food and treat him/her like a king of queen. 

Wear each others clothes it will make you feel strongly and associate better with each other. Have a common e-mail account and share your privacy. Love and respect his/her dear ones. This feeling will definitely be reciprocated. Go down memory lane and cherish your sweet moments together. Do some social work together which is a common concern for you and your friend. It's a unique way of being together. Friends are very important as they make our lives worth living. Hence it is for us to make and keep our friends. 

The friends are never different. They don't hide things from each other. In English there is a saying that `The other man's grass is always green.' The humans are always fond of in getting other person's properties. The person will try to get what the other has got. But he'll not look at what he's got. It is always taken for granted. That the thing that doesn't exist is always green & beautiful for human is a well-known fact. Human always is in need of some thing that is not possible at all to achieve. Sir Rabindranath Tagore's given a very nice thought. According to him a person taken birth & remains so. With an ordinary view a bird's got everything. It's got wings to fly up in the sky. It's got a beautiful sky. It's got it's own sweet voice too. And most of all it's got it's own green house on the green tree, still it wants to be a cloud. This is what Rabindranath Tagore told. He said that the human always is in search of something that he is not able to achieve.

Again, with an ordinary view a cloud has got each & everything, including different forms, different colors and so. Sometimes it is as lighter as cotton. & It is as whiter as cotton too. It can wet us. It's got day's hotness; it's got evening's coolness, a beautiful down & a beautiful night full of sparkling stars. Still it is not happy, now this cloud wants to be a bird & that bird wants to be a cloud. This is the philosophy of friendship. Both are friends, both wants to be like each other. A bird wants to be like his friend, a cloud & a cloud wants to be like its friend, a bird. And humans too are in the same way, two friends wants to be like each other. They are true friend. As I told, when friendship is born, it is like a baby. It needs our help. Same situation is there to create flower. To create a flower it takes many centuries.  To feel the nature is to feel our self in our mother's lap. The god is not only in big places, but also he is in small & beautiful flower. The god is in the flower. He is not in the temple. Same, the friend is in your heart, not in your telephone directory or in your address book. When the first flower of the world was created, the fingers of the natural gardener's fingers would've got the fragrance of the perspiration of the first love on the earth, the flower.  Different ness & Rareness both are the mottos of God's creative art. Balance ness is God's tune of creations. 

Friends & friendship is like a building under construction. When a building is under construction, it needs water, care. It requires care like a child. It requires care, but when it is developed it is big enough to protect us. It protects us from the heavy rain, from each & every kind of disaster. The friendship & friends too are like a building under construction. When it is introduced, when two friends are introduced, they and their friendship requires care, but once it is developed, it protects us from each & every disaster. It protects us from bad qualities. Thus, friendship is like a building. Now, Friendship & Friend should be perfect. In friendship there is no secrets required, sharing is the best thing in friendship. The friends are never equal. In old times of Ramayana & Mahabharata there were many good friends. In Ramayana, Rama & Laxmana were brothers but they were also good friends of each other, also Rama & hanuman were good friends of each other. Actually hanuman was considered as a worshipper of Rama but he was also a good friend of Rama at that time. Also, in Ramayana, Krishna & Arjuna were good friend of each other.  The friendship of Krishna & Sudama is world famous. Especially, when it is about Mahabharata their names are taken at least once between the talk. Krishna was a very rich person, a very powerful person, with a great Shakti; Arjuna also was a very powerful person, a stout body with a healthy mind. His archery still is world famous. Arjuna was the best friend of Krishna, but the friendship of Krishna & sudama is also there. There is lot of examples of good friendship for the present. In today's friendship, we require examples to understand what does friendship actually mean. Friendship is to be followed. Friends are to be followed & to be enjoyed. In friendship there is no need to run after your friend. A friend needs not to run after his/her best chum, but they walk together in true friendship. A best chum makes his friend walk with him, not run after him. In friendship you are supposed not to be running after your friend, but to following him. 

God created the friends & so we are here for each other. To change everything simply changes your attitude and you would see all your dreams come true. Friendships are the emblem of eternity. It confounds all nations of time, effaces all memories of beginning, all all fears of an end. A real friend warms us by his presence. Trusts us with his secrets, and remembers you in his prayers, strengthens us with his prayers, blesses us with his love, and encourages us with hope. It is said that the life always is successful in love but it's never been said whether love'll become successful in life or not. Actually love doesn't become successful in life it has to be made go successful. The Japanese poems are always special The Japanese poets have a kind of special power that they can explain many things in few words in their poems. According to them, there's no other substance like love on this earth. There has been a war for about whether love is a curse or a blessing. It is not easy to answer this question. When there is relation between two people, when it is hard to define, when it is tough to say whether it is love or an ordinary kind of relation. Why always is the result of Romeo & Juliet is death? Always the lovers are found dead & their love also. Human creates heaven on earth by loving each other, but it is always felt like a pricking thing to the God of heaven & they always dislike us creating our own heaven of love on earth. We have three types of friends, our lovers, second who are always angry with us & third who always hate us. To hate someone that is to have enmity with someone. To fall in revenge with someone, takes friendship with the same one. Friends means friendship. The friendship has to be passed from the tough test of time. There's no perfect example for friendship.    

Smile is human's precious ornament. It is like giving birth to a delicate & beautiful rose unknowingly. They who welcome their lives with joy & cheer are always welcomed with joy & cheer by their lives.  Most people live with negative behavior. One can make out about our thoughts by making out a macro upon our behavior. Our mind, the thing, which is known as one’s nature, also indicates our thoughts & behavior. If you give one a slap, you obviously cannot aspect Rose from him. What ever we get is a sound result of our behavior towards others. The same thing is there in Friendship. You cannot aspect more than, you've given, you've sacrificed. According to Tagore, "Flower is a nonmoving butterfly & Butterfly is a flying Flower..." Nature is God's art. He loves to creative & we love to enjoy. Friendship also is god's creation. He loves to make two friends & we love to make them our beloved one. Once Fra Grawani was caught by the town officer and was supposed to be a prisoner. At that time he wrote a letter to his friend. `I'm your friend, and I feel love for you but deep inside my heart. You've much & there's nothing I can give you, still there's so much that I cannot give you but you can snatch out from me. Fra Grawani wrote this in 16th. There is no barter system in Friendship. Only giving & receiving presents from each other is not friendship. Friendships love, love is friendship. There's great meaning of love but we've forgotten that. We've time to watch & play but to for love.  We even don't have time to have a conversation without children. And so when our child arises & becomes a youth he also becomes busy & he also don't get time to have a conversation with us. We are tied by the time. And now time doesn't allow us to go for even love or friends. 

Sometimes when there is no our beloved one, then the world looks empty.

Then the pain, PAIN is one kind of feeling. How can one help someone in pain?, I wondered. I don't know any reader, nor even what their pain is! How can anyone understand what hurts someone else?, When I am in pain, helpful advice from others turns me off. Times of pain are so individual, so very personal and secret. People in pain most need understanding and personal care. Nothing I write can give that. My attention was drawn to a sentence written by a child,  

                     Pain is loneliness because no one knows what I feel.

Pain is a horrible feeling.

    Pain is a word for it is killing me.

Pain is a feeling just like gladness but pain is much sadder than gladness.

Pain is much agony.

My own source of pain is primarily physical.  One child told me,

I don't know why people have pain its impossible to guess.

The same child said,

I don't even know why I have pain.

Not everyone sees a happy purpose to pain, even in childbirth. Indeed, for most of us, it is the lack of purpose in it all that hits so very hard. Pain, when it strikes, seems to weigh us down so much that we cannot move. We are trapped.  But pain also is must as a feeling. A friend removes your pain by his words, feelings & warm touches. 

If people didn't have pain that would mean that a big feeling was missing even though it would be good to be happy all the time it wouldn't be right.

I think that people need to be in pain sometimes because it is like a body function.

I suspect that all this is possible because, very often, times of pain become times when we get in touch with out own soul, perhaps as never before. They may even be times when we communicate with God himself in a new and deep way. Jesus said: ` A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. So with you: now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.'                     

 JOHN'S GOSPEL. CHAPTER 16

When pain has gone on longer that you can bear; when you do not know how to explain that you cannot cope with such intensity; when nothing seems to ease it, you become too drained by it to fight.  You want only to die. Sabina Wurmbrandt, a Rumanian Christian, was imprisoned and brutally treated for being a Jew. In prison, with other mothers, she had to tolerate hearing her children being gathered together in the cell next door to be beaten. It seemed too much to bear. Yet it is in those worst moments that we can stumble almost accidentally upon heaven, where it is least to be expected. I'm beginning to wonder if this is where heave is most to be expected... when we are past coping, where there is nothing left of ourselves -- nothing left that we can do, or give, or even be.

And then God steps in as a Friend to help us.

Not everyone experiences such colorful intervention by God. For some, his presence is much more everyday. They may not even see God's hand until, looking back; they concede that `somehow' they have come through. `Somehow' is possible just a poor way to describe God's help.  That we cannot say more is a reflection of the poverty of the relationship most of us have with him. We hang back from him. We may be angry that he should allow suffering: or we may be afraid to look to him. After all, intense pain makes us extraordinarily vulnerable and, for some, it is too big a risk to allow God in to where we hurt already. What if he were to make impossible demands? But God is not like that, Jesus came, not to cast judgment on us, but to show us his love. His invitation is not for us to take a dreadful examination. He knows we'd fail! Rather, he wants us to enter a relationship with him - a relationship based on forgiveness and love. 

Loving and care makes my pain go better because if someone is doing that I know there is a hope. 

Some types of pain have no cure. It seems there's no hope. 

`To cure often, to relieve sometimes, to comfort always.'

When you know you are cared-for, that knowledge alone may be sufficient to bring relief from the physical or emotional pain. But when that is in doubt, and comfort feels far away, no physical relief is felt, even when the original pain is cured. Mother Teresa once said that the worst pain of all knows you are not loved. She was referring to those left destitute, whose dying bodies are ignored or kicked around on the streets of Calcutta. But we do not need to travel to Calcutta to find people who are not loved. On our very doorsteps are people whose lives are empty of love. Indeed, you may feel that you yourself bear this, the greatest pain. Each of us longs for love & care. We yearn for comfort, if not from our pain, then in it. Pain - especially intense pain - is very isolating. Each of us knows how easy it is to slip into a situation where pain seems to have cut us off. It's a lonely place to be. In times of pain we are acutely vulnerable to the feeling that friends are letting us down. Most of us have secret hopes for help or comfort, and we feel intensely disappointed if our expectations are not fulfilled. And there's no doubt about it, family and friends do have their limitations! Jesus knows this feeling of being let down by friends. In the worst hour of one night, he struggled until sweat trickled down his forehead like drops of blood.  And his best friends slept. Three times he woke them, begging them to watch and pray. Each time they fell asleep. So, God knows how much we need his absolute promise that he does not sleep through our times of pain. And he has given us his word. No matter how alone we may feel, we are never alone. We always have his company.

         `When you pass through the waters,

I will be with you;

           And when you pass through the rivers,

they will not sweep over you.

           When you walk through the fire,

you will not be burned;

the flames will not set you ablaze.'

FROM ISAIAH, CHAPTER 43

Friends and family often care, but they do not know what to do. Most obviously they want to take away the pain, so when they cannot do that, they feel useless. If you `cope' quietly in times of pain, they feel shut out. Their love has no channel to express itself. It's like blocking a valve, causing a build-up of pressure behind. That causes them pain. Then your friends - becomes the ones who need help in their pain. I believe that in the end it's you, the sufferer, who has to help them to help you. And that takes courage and understanding.

         `You have to be so brave that you want to make friends...'

Allow GOD to help, allow your friends, family members & beloved ones to help you.

These are my thought of Friendship. The Philosophy, which contains many things about love, Friends, God & Pain too. All the things are true to be. I'm concluding my philosophy here. The person who is having more & more friends is known as the richest person in my world, the world of LOVE & Joy. Thank you...
