The Knowing Tribe

When someone says;

“I don’t believe in God” it is considered cool or naive
“I believe in God” is considered religious
“I trust in God” is considered great, impactful.
“I know God” is considered stupid or delusional!

Somehow “knowing” God is questioned,  shunned, ridiculed & mocked. Its striclty reserved for the fools and saints. That’s because we all project our doubts, and idiosyncrasies upon knowing. Almost all averages, deep down doubt the existence of creator. Especially those who say God exists, who do their chants, poojas, sacrifices and ceremonies. In all formats, in all corners, these rituals seem to be done in doubt, in fear, often with specific expectations. But they all often miss one important aspect, to know God. They should not be done in desperation, but with the desire to know God the great unknown. This often gets displaced in the “busy” of it all.

It is this inner most doubt or perhaps fear that is reflected in the rejection of knowing even with the arduous laborious practices. No outer ritual, prayers and idol worship can ever change this. The great unknown is not punitive, expects nothing, but indeed a great observer. We cannot have this unwritten ambiguous yet firm expectation of how God’s proof must exist in our life. This is a shallow childish and common expectation of our kind. We have a demand for only miracles from God. Miracles with a suitability critieria to our specific needs. This is one of highest limitations of the common belief of most religions.

And anything and everything outside this cloud of a thinking will be rejected by people. This is social conditioning, perhaps religious conditioning we all obey without argument. Either way we ourselves refuse to know God, we are closed than any other living species on earth. I find the trees and all animals are more open, in comparison. There is a level of purity and vulnerability they carry that we don’t seem to even remotely understand when it comes to knowing God the great Unknown.

I was told of God, and I didn’t know God. I searched everywhere. Then I searched within, now I see God everywhere and everything, God the great unknowns’ lessons are beautiful. The road is occassionally filled with bliss, but as a fool I can also see my ignorace and my fears churning in this sacred journey. Yes, I know God. And also, I keep failing, but I keep getting saved by the infinite upon all of us. I recognize it, I acknowledge it, it’s overwhelming the effort, the burden and the blessing. All Praise to the Unknown.

Leave Everything

God timelessly places a simple wholesome truth in front of us, and through many religions he conveys this. But We run away from this consistently. Our lack of trust in him and in us due to our conditioning makes us stray away from this foundational truth. God says Leave everything and come to me. But do we ? ever ?

No, and of course this is not easy, and no he is not testing us, he is not judging us, and he is definitely not transacting with us as many priests and preachers tend to make us believe through their interpretation of religions. In fact to the contrary, God is helping us with this covenant, for us to forge together with him, he sees us trapped in our own doings, in our own troubles he gets us more than we do.

We may attribute our struggles suffering to something or someone.While it may be the case, yet only you, in your mind who is enduring all this can release yourself to him. Only you, no matter the circumstances can go to him. For it is you who holds the door shut, not him. And also remember it is the infinite him, he never built that door either that you hold shut. It’s our human and social conditioning that creates it to.

God the great unknown claims you, calls you, says to you: LEAVE EVERYTHING AND COME TO ME. And by this he implores you; to place him above all and neither is he asking you to walk away from your duties the society has positioned you in either. He implies you place him above all in your mind and heart. Many sages monks all over the world have taken this truth to the fullest sense in the material world too. They have physically left everything to go to him. You, placed among your duties and societies can also leave everything in your heart to him, to place him above all else.

Because only Then you understand his infinite worth. And also by that he says; leave everything, and I will give you everything and beyond. 

All Praise To The Unknown.

Religions are God‘s languages

Religions are God’s languages to speak to all of us on earth. Does much get lost in translation among us, of course, we are humans after all.  Who am I to judge one over another. But there is divine poetry in every language and it’s heavenly. I may speak only one, but I consider myself lucky to have heard and experienced many. All praise to the Unknown.

The glamor and fall of Christianity in US.

Here is why and one of few reasons why Christians and Christianity is going to fail in the US. And further deteriorate the religion as a whole.
I see this all the time, in corporate America, supermarkets and even in some churches.

“Christians” in their extravagant egotistical attires and selfishness have made church talk a filler conversation. It’s this thing one can talk about to show “yea b***h, I have a moral righteous high ground too..” I take every week. It is shallow, shameful and more dangerously killing Jesus’s teachings at the roots. No wonder you can’t tell why your child is not into jesus!

Hey you are free to choose and express yourself. I am all for that. Don’t be shallow and ignorant is all. Try to overcome it and reflect, that’s all I ask. For I promise you will realize more than you know today. May be you will speak differently.

I am being judgemental ? No, just an observational type and I detect root causes and slow degradations much better than most, thats all.
