WONDERING HOW AND WHY

The dawn breaks

The sun rises at the eastern horizon

People collect milk sachets at the booths

Home makers prepare coffee

News papers spread on the coffee table

Varieties of headlines and stories call attention

Good, bad, pleasant, disturbing, frustrating and all sorts

Children rush to school

Traffic jams

Atmosphere polluted

At office gossips and politics

Corruption and harassment

Never ending unfinished work

Honesty laughed at

Strait forward ridiculed

Innocents suffer silently

Few exploit and enjoy without consideration for others

Back home some tired some drunk

Home work

Dinner

TV repeating same old news

Sensational and scandalous

Serials without morals

Power cuts

Sultry nights

Samples of urban life

At a remote village

On a calm night lying in open

Staring at the stars

One wonders how and why

How the universe came into being?

We hear theories BIG BANG, black hole etc

But we can not comprehend the truth

Some how the universe, Galaxies, Stars, Solar system, Planets Etc came into being

Everything is made up of matter

Scientifically matter can neither be created nor be destroyed

Then how they came into being?

We do not know who or what created them or how they evolved

We simply have to take things for granted that some supernatural power created everything

We may call that supernatural power as

THE GOD or THE ALMIGHTY

The God rather Gods have been conceptualized by man mostly as

Super human or humanoid

God has been given many forms and many names by countless religions and religious groups

Lot of mythological stories on Gods and creation of things exist

There are believers and also nonbelievers

 clashing and arguing with each other

The conflicts often lead to skirmishes, fights and even wars leading to loss of life and properties or wide spread destructions

HOW LIFE (LIVING BEING) was created?

Who made it possible?

Or did life evolve by it self?

Or were all living beings created by the Supreme Being?

According to many religious mythologies there are five elements

Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Space

Science says there are several elements

More and more new elements are discovered

Elements according to chemistry and physics are made up of atoms

Atoms have smaller particles like protons neutrons and electrons

These particles can not be seen by naked eye. Universe is filled with these particles in different densities. We can see our earth, moon sun and several planets and distant stars. The distance between the planets and stars are measured not in miles or kilometers but as

Light years. I.e. the distance light travels in the said time.

The distance between earth and sun is 8 minutes

(299,792.5X8X60X60 Kilo meters)

Imagine the distance of stars and galaxies in millions of light years. We just can not but wonder the mystery of Nature.

Even imagining these things is stupendous

Combination of elements form compounds

Universe is full of elements, compounds and mixtures called ores

Simple physical chemistry must have lead to bio chemistry

Some how the DNA or the basic unit of living things must have formed or created by the supreme power or by accident

From the basic unit a living cell, according to Darwin’s theory of evolution all the living things of the present must have evolvedd

From conception/germination to death all living organisms need energy and building blocks to grow and sustain

Food provides them

Where does the food come from?

Nature manufactures the basic food through plants using water and minerals with the energy provided by the SUN.

The sun releases enormous amounts of energy continuously for millions of years

The energy earth receives is extremely small fraction

What would be the total energy released by the sun every moment?

 And all through its existence?

We can not but wonder how this is made possible

There is definitely a supreme power

THE GOD

Many living things were lost or destroyed by natural calamities  

or conflict between the living things

Earth quakes tsunamis, floods, cyclones, epidemics and wars have played major role on the destructive side.

Man can predict but cannot prevent or stop all these things.

Epidemics may be controlled to some extent.

But newer diseases and epidemics keep coming.

We simply cannot do anything about it.

It is the mystery of nature.

Imagine. From nothing millions of living things have evolved.

Each species multiply by propagation or reproduction.

It is really amazing.

Who designed all these things?

Who controls every thing?

Bestowed with intelligence

Man discovered and invented a lot

Constructive and destructive

Advanced with science

Explores moon, mars etc

Man may think he has control over many things.

No.

Something superior to everything is controlling all.

It is OMNIPRESENT AND OMNIPOTENT- THE ALMIGHTY.

Man has no control on anything.

What ever he thinks or does is the PLAY of GOD.

                                                          

Man thinks he owns the properties.

No

It is the other way round.

He belongs to the earth.

Earth owns him.

 He is made up of the elements which were originally present at the origin of the universe.

The elements go back to the earth and get recycled.

Every atom in our body existed and will exist over countless unfathomable millions of trillions of years.

Perhaps Bhagavth Geetha explains this

 "What ever has happened,  has happened

What ever is happening, is happening

What ever will happen in the future , will happen

What did you loose?

Why do you cry?

What did you bring to loose?

What did you create to go as waste?

What ever you took, you took it from here

What ever you gave, you gave here

What ever is yours today will become someone els's tomorrow

Another day it will be some body else's

This is the rule of the world"

Every deed we do (good or bad) is not ours.

The nature manipulates all our actions.

If we keep thinking this way we may get enlightenment

Or become mad

Yes or no

With in the limitations allowed by the NATURE we have to live according to man made customs, rules or laws.

Good and bad, right and wrong and several positives and negatives have been defined.

Today’s right may become wrong tomorrow.

So nothing is perfect.

Our life is full of good and bad. Proportions may vary.

Our life is continuous experimentation.

Every man has instinct and intelligence, love and hatred, pleasure and pain, happiness and sorrow, crookedness and magnanimity – we can go on and on to describe positives and negatives of human nature.

It is but natural that different traits may manifest at different times. No man is perfect.

When it comes to groups “mob has many heads but no brains”

Human race is divided by color, Race, religion, cast, creed, region, country etc.

Naturally discrimination, denial of rights, suppression and such things are practiced by the might over the weak.

The frustrated people start revolting.

Revolutions, assassinations, genocides

Helpless innocents suffer

There were peaceful civilizations, wars and catastrophes

The cycle continues

It is THE LAW OF NATURE.

NATURE IS ALMIGHTY

NATURE IS OMNIPRESENT

NATURE IS OMNIPOTENT

NATURE IS THE GOD

UTOPIA CAN NEVER EXIST.

WITH IN OUR LIMITATIONS WE MUST TRY TO ACHIEVE PEACEFUL COEXISTANCE.

ALSO WE HAVE TO TAKE THE SUFFERINGS AND STRUGLE INTO OUR STRIDE.

                                                           

PHYLOSOPHICAL ATTITUDE WILL LESSEN THE PAINS OF MISSERY.
