God is One
Nov 12th 2007
Friends,
I have had this idea in my mind since over years now - the idea that God is one. God is one, not just in Hinduism alone, but for all of us; all of us on this earth. Yes God is one. On the occasion of Diwali, I got the chance to share 'my' God's blessings in the form of prasad (Prasad: Is any vegetarian food that has been offered to God before consumed by any human being). I had prepared some sweet which I distributed to my few of my American colleagues at work. Each time I told them, what they were eating was something very special, since it had God's blessings in it. I was surprised not to hear questions about what I was sayingl; more so, since I was expecting a couple of raised eyebrows :); but later once I was out of the mode of Diwali clebrations; I questioned my own self... if asked, what would have been my reply? Perhaps this...
God is one.
1. CORELATION
You call him Lord Jesus. I call Shiv, Ram, Lakhsmi and perhaps by a couple of extra names than you do. To be able to associate with one, there is a need to hae something in common. The same principle applies when you are trying to associate with a supernaturanal power, whom you havn't seen. I have a brown skin, a milk white, fair skinned Lord doesn't really look like me! What do I do? There are bright chances that I wont a friend, a comfortor in Lord Jesus as soon as I would find one in Goddess Sarawati; the onely reason being; Goddess Saraswati looks just like me... same curved features, almost the same complextion, not too tall like the Britishers, not too stout like Chiness.... just the perfect... just like me... only a litle more devine... ofcource she is the one.. I think yes, I think yes I cam, I can correlate to her.. as she being my Goddess... So Shiv, Vishnu were all known supoer powers, but perahps the fairer classes did not really corelate to Shiv or Vishnu, so God had to take a different form, a form more appealing to the white masses, to make them realize His presence. The english - call him Jesus.
2. FAMILY
You say, Jesus is not the God, but the son of God. That makes me wonder, God must have a mother and father too? Perhaps, Jesus may not be God's only son? (Single child family... I dont find it the most ideal family. There should be more people in the home), so what about Jesus' dad? And who was Jesus, if not a God himself? Is a God's son, not the God himself? If the son has powers' to cure 'me' (remember I said God is one in the beggining - that means Jesus is just another form of that one God **), then imagine how powerful would his mom and dad be? Imagine how much more powerful would his grand pa, grand ma be? :) .. okay now thats confusing... right? For a moron mind like mine, I would rather be happy with the fact that God is one? He may have famlies, and extended families, but for me: God is one.
3. Before Jesus:
Before Jesus desceded on earth? Before Jesus desceded on earth, what was it like? what happended to the millions of people who came on this earth and went away?
Isn't is hard to beleive that before Jesus hismelf came to earth, God was so selfish, that he didn't think of us for so many years... or he didn't come himself or didn't send any one from His family to protect and save us before this? No!, He came... and he came to different parts of the world.. to those parts where people needed him most. The same God kept on taking human forms, sometimes like Rama, sometimes like Jesus... but descended from time to time, all for our benefit. God was always there and will continue to remain there for ever. People come, civilazations develop and get destroyed, but God remains. He was there before Jesus and will remain there after all of us are destroyed and not a single human being would exist on earth...
He has come on earth and showed His presence in different forms, walked on earth in different ways and continues to be with us forever, because God is one.
