The God and Us……….. Are we connected?

Every time I pass by a temple or see a mythological movie, many questions arise in my mind. The questions like ------- Why we believe in god and hope he does good to us? Why we think there is some one listening to all the cry of pain and hope for better? How do we believe that god controls us and our life? If he really does, how? At first I thought these questions are pointing at my own customs, beliefs, but later I realized that these are the questions which when answered will lead to know the meaning of life, how to live it and why?


Don’t miss understand me to be atheistic, I believe a lot in God. Then why are these questions around my mind? You will know that as you goon. These questions are in my mind for a long time, but the realization I mentioned about came just recently when I came across a generic proverb user by my grandma--- “Dear whenever you are in a confusion over taking a decision then listen to your brain if the issue is about your professional life and listen to your heart if it is about your personal life”.


As I heard this a thought ran across my mind, why do we need two thinking centers when we need only one? Can you guess why, before we go ahead? Brain is a very complex thinking center which is trained from the time of your birth to be molded into what it is now. It is molded under the rules of our cultures, ethics, customs, and values. But heart on the other hand is a very simple emotional, soft, humane and subconsciously controlled thinking center. It is not molded, but is what we are born with and fortified with a layer of beliefs. So this is the window through which we are controlled by God. Out it…………………
