Wish I were...

Wish I were a bird..
spread my wings and fly
to distant corner of world
with no bounds

Wish I were a river..
flow through the mountains
and reach the endless sea
with no one to stop me

Wish I were the wind..
carrying the fragrance
for the people to perceive
with no one to ask me the creed

Wish I were love..
spread through the hearts
bringing them closer
with no place for enmity

Wish I were a bud..
grown in some corner of the woods
making world beautiful
with no one to tweak

Isn't religion for oneself?

What does one gain when they follow any religion?

A generic answer that you would get from any religionists is that following their religion make them come closer to God and not following will make them to go to Hell. In this quest they try to convince or brainwash others too. Now whats the point of deciding upon others? Isn't just following what you are following is enough?

Agreed there is some power that created this world and made it so beautiful that we never stop cherishing it. We term that creator as 'God', the Holy Spirit. And we will pray that Holy Spirit to come closer. Here, when we say we want to come closer to that Holy Spirit then its only you and the God. You then follow the religion for yourself to come closer to God.

Religion only just sets up some rules for you to follow and keep you within the limits. And I think if any religion tells something that causes harm to others and loses the very essense, then its not a religion. You are losing the whole objective then!

Religion is for yourself and its only between you and the Holy Spirit. Its about your faith. The faith, following which, lets you bring to the next level and that level is the spirituality, a state of meditation where you attain peace.

It hurts when I see people preaching about their own religion and many a times become hostile! If a religion follows peace and spreads peace then who will not like to join it.

After all, peace is the ultimate goal of any soul in this world, isn't it?

I am a Human

I am not a Muslim..
I am not a Hindu...
I am not a Christian..
I am not a Jew..

I have eyes.. I can see..
I have ears.. I can hear..
I have mind.. I can think..
I have heart.. I can listen to..

I believe in peace..
I believe in destiny..
I have faith in love..
I have faith in my inner self..

I am simple..
I think simple..
I am in a purest form..
I am a Human.

Don't need no Religion!

So what's this whole fuss about "Freedom of Expression" now a days?

An artist trying to express something in his own way... Knowingly may or may not be liken by some group of people!

Agreed that the expression was not acceptable to a particular group of people but what a way of retaliation! Is that we call retaliating peacefully? Is that we call a religion of peace? I don't think so!

Have any of these people who are protesting now have ever protested against the terrorists who had blown the thousands of people in 9/11? Have any of these people who are protesting now have ever protested against the suicide bombers or various bomb blasts that happened and are still happening? No. No body wants to come up as that will be against the religion! Because they follow the religion of peace! Damn!


Violence violence... Revenge revenge... has become the norm of the day!

This whole episode shows how its so easy to play with the emotions of the people and make them fight. On one side, expression that turns on the fire and on the other side, as usual the fanatics getting a chance to exaggerate it... and people just blindly follow them.. I pity!


Retaliation could have been done in a peaceful ways too... Non-violence the most effective tool to win a war, no body wants to follow it! The great examples are right in front of you - Mahatma Gandhi.. Even Jesus Christ believed in non-violence.. and we all know the results of their struggle...

But Alas! Some people just want to follow their ego!

If such things persist then that day is not too far when this clash of ideologies and egoism will destroy this world.

Gosh! I hate to be a religionist now. I wish this concept would have never came to us to complicate our lives!

If any religion could be a reason for the disruption of peace in this world then I don't want it... If any religion can not atleast bring peace within you then I don't want it... I want spirituality and peace that I may perceive only by following the basic principles of Humanism..

We are heading to sanguine of Humanism

One of my very nice friend, Sonu Bhaskar, whom I consider 'an intellectual marvel'... writes following on 'Humanism':

"My surrender to the religion of ONENESS .. is the religion of spirits and souls and trancends all differences that are bred for personal and social materialistic gains.. Humanity bleds with the pain of others when u see the faces crying and tears rolling down .. its bliss when we share our happiness and ecstasy with our fellow people and lives.. Its trancendental and spiritual.. So in a way its step that is beyond religious understanding .. as it percepts psychic surrender to humanity and the monotheistic eternity.. some call it GOD some call it Messiah.. its all here.. In our hearts and in our souls.."

"We are heading to sanguine of humanism..

When shadows of wars enshrines the grief of millions,
When desolated past stifles the humans,
When atrocities attentuates of the DEMONS,
When nights and days comes together to bleed like wounding showers,
When the graves becomes silent with no more voices of humanly towers!

The sun SHINES with its glorifying wonders,
Humanism takes over the reign of thunders
Terror gives way to PEACEFUL culmination,
Hatred turns a BIZARRE termination,
Love becomes the soul of human SALVATION..."

My Salute to him!!

Listen to your heart.. not fanatics!

....Wonder why 'humanity' is losing its existence? It isn't any 'thing' to get lost though.... its a feeling , its love, its personal dignity that constitute humanity...... But...we are losing it!

If you don't believe me then ask yourself why politics (underlined by religion) play a very important role in today's world that we forget the very fact that we are human first. Today, A person is determined by people of what religion, caste, creed etc. is...

Why religion takes precedence over humanity? Shouldn't it be the other way round? People are just trying to profess their religion's superiority over the other.. where religion is for one's own self, they are trying to impose it to others!!

Religion came to being to control people, bring them some sanity in life and in turn control the whole community. Religion never preach hatred, its we who do it. Religion is for one's own self.. it makes you reach a next level, the level of spirituality... the state of meditation where you find 'peace'.. its all personal choice and not imposition! If a religion spreads hatred then it isn't called religion its called blasphemy.

Just few of the politicians who are hungry for the power are spreading the hatred to rule over us.. why don't people understand that? why do people don't use there rational mind and stop following them blindly? After all humans are called rational animal.. Are we losing the rationality as well and bowing to some self-motivated perverts who can do anything for gaining the power!!! Stop following them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Listen to your heart, stop hatred, spread love and follow the basic rule of life - Humanism.
