Just 5 Km away

How far do we travel to see God?

I was going to a ritual place in Gorana - town of my father-in-law. Wears and tears here and there on the road. Bumps almost take your head out of the rickshaw and your heart out of your control. Someone said true it's not easy to reach to God.

God has made man. This is what all believe. Whenever and wherever I travel in India find reverse. At every 5 kilometer there is a new God, if not a goddess. Man has made God by stones, by tree leaves, by Sindoor, by Gulal or every other thing existing on earth. The shape of the God is also given similar to what a man look like. One who made God might leave his image in making it. Perhaps people in Saurashtra love tea, pan masala and Gods. Therefore, they make you meet all of them at every 5 kilometer.

I don't feel like worshiping seeing statue of God. He is just like me inside the statue. God in fantasies or unconsciousness is much more powerful and beautiful then in statue. Perhaps it gives me a relief that God in fantasies is flexible, like a wind, which can not be fasten to a statue. Why should we give a body in the name of statue to God? Who are we? I see him every day new, fresh who can not be touched, can not be designed, giant like Titanic and sometimes tiny like an ant. May the thoughts of God continue!
