Controversial issue of textbooks-5

4. Who should protect god?

Every religion believes, everything in the universe is created by God. Even a leaf can't move in this world without God's permission. God knows everything and none can hide even his inner mind from God. This is what religions teaches their disciple. If the disciple understand this truth then he wont react to any religious injustice. Because, if everything is created by God then he is the creator of good things as well as bad things. Good and bad is his creation. He created mangoes which are sweet and also a mangoes which are sour. He created chilly and grapes with the same ease and every one have their own roles in this world. If you admit that God created everything, then you have to admit, bad ones, shaitains, communist, naxals, wicked, democratic, truthful, righteous, prophets, etc are all God's creation. The devotee understands these differences, and that makes him different from others. He understand it is the God who created bad things, or bad people for testing him. God wants to differentiate good from wicked. So he mixed good and bad in this world. One who is good will take only good, and give up bad, either in favorable or unfavorable circumstances. So if a communist government or atheist has made a text book which is anti-religious then do you think it was not God's creation but a communist ministers/atheist creation? If our religious fraternity believe it is the communist government's creation, then they are not believing that God created everything. So don't blame govt alone for that text books.

Why God made such anti-religious text book? The answer I have told before. It is for testing people. It's not just meant to test children but also its test for pontiffs also. God is testing them, do they believe more in a text book or their holy book? Do they think their religion will evaporate when this text book is given for studying? Hinduism, Christianity, and Islam has not evaporated till this time. If they have surpassed centuries without any ones support or hatred, then it will sustain in future also. The doubt of religions evaporation is a figment only in the pontiffs thought forms, which also shows how much belief they have in their own religion? Is their religion that much small where a govt can change it?

Religions are remaining not because of the followers strength. It will still remain, even if all the followers leave the religion.Religions are remaining because they are rooted in knowledge and the knowledge is rooted in truth. Its because of the power of truth obtained through knowledge makes religions to survive through centuries without any breakage. There had been debates and arguments raised by a few against religion in the past and obviously will continue in future also. But it can't hurt any religion, because it is the power of truth which makes them alive forever. Religions declared, everything else in this world, will pass away,except the truth preached through our holy texts. If this is the eternal truth, then these pontiffs should be questioned. Ask them in reality whom they believe God or govt?

I like to quote an incident written by V.K.Sriraman in the mathrubhoomi ramadan supplement(2005). In a small village lived Abdu Rahman Musliar who chanted "ya, fatheh" day and night. His lips always reverberated that ayat. He was also an eccentric person who had knife in hands. Wherever he goes he has that knife with him. He was scholar and practiced Islamic rituals seriously.As the years passed on Musliar grow older but still his lips didn't forget ya, fateh.. One Ramadan morning, he went to a small restaurant. Two Muslim people was sitting there and reading newspaper.As usual they where also fasting like other Muslims. Musliar asked the shop owner, what is there to eat? He said we have kerala dishes. He said give 2 plates of those dishes. Shop owner asked, for whom? Musliar replied, for those 2 Muslims. They said to musliar- we are fasting so we don't want to eat it now. Musliar took the knife and shouted to the shop owner- give them food. Every one feared and those 2 started to eat the food. After a few seconds, another scholar was passing through. He saw the scene that 2 Muslim people eating food and breaking the fast. He furiously shouted to those Muslims. They were silent in the first and then slowly said that, we didn't want to eat, but musliar threatened and told us to break the fast. Then scholar asked the Musliar in a melancholic tone. Why you said so? And in what basis you said them to break the fast? Musliar replied to the scholar with a question "Who is a Muslim?" Scholar replied "one who believes in one god and his prophet and follow his way, is a muslim." Musliar replied, "if anyone really follows one god and his prophet, then he will walk only in the God's way. If these two have believed in that god-way then will they follow an abdurahman's word? The scholars and the two Muslims were speechless.

This reality is related not only for Muslims but for each and every religious persons also. if anyone believes in God and the holy words of his own religion, then he will never give ears to any others words seriously. If they listen to govt words or books rather than their religious books, then they are not FIT to be called as Hindu, Christian or Muslim. In precise we can doubtlessly declare that- No force in this world can change a real devotee. If he can be changed then he is not at all a real devotee, and those who are not real devotees are subject to change from here to there and from there to here, so why should a religious fraternity make rallies to save a nonbeliever? If its not for devotees then for whom these rallies are conducted?

Everything happens only by God's will. To become a real devotee is not an easy task, one becomes a devotee only by gods grace. Christ said- (john.6:044) "No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him". Quran (7:178) said-"Whom Allah doth guide,− he is on the right path: whom He rejects from His guidance,−these are the persons who perish". Bhagavat Gita also said the same. (18. 58) "If you become conscious of Me, you will pass over all the obstacles of conditioned life by My grace. If, however, you do not work in such consciousness but act through false ego, not hearing Me, you will be lost".

Before concluding I remember one incident which legendary swami Vivekananda faced in his life. He felt sad when some fundamentalist groups destroyed the temple. In his mind he thought – if I was there then I would not allow that unfortunate incident to have happen. After a few minutes he was bestowed with a vision - “Does God supports you or do you support God?” Swamiji understood his folly and kept silent. So we have to understand very clearly that- God knows what should happen and what should not happen. He doesn't need our support to rule this world. He is not that small, to ask the services of pontiffs, or scholars or communist to help him to rule his kingdom. And pontiffs or scholars or communist are not that BIG enough to offer a helping hand to god for removing faults in the world. So I think what Buddha said in yore is now basking in its eternal glory-"People with opinions just go around bothering each other".
