Just a few days ago, coward terrorists brutally attacked & killed Hindus in Pahalgam. The innocent victims crime was to be Hindu, nothing more! Sadly, this is a continuation of the ethnic cleansing that made over 300,000 Hindus refugees in their own country, several decades ago! The same tactics are still being used.
But my post is from a religious perspective. There is so much hate in this world. God needs good, tough, strong people here on earth to fight this unending hate!
God asks — are you tough enough for REAL LIFE? To Carry on my work, to walk in my footsteps? There will be much pain & suffering, blood, and tears!
OR
Will you cut & run? Chase after self-gratification for eternity in Heaven? Care no more for anyone else, not even your OWN loved ones?
.
I am sure all of us have seen or read “Journalists” asking religious heads about meeting all their DEAD loved ones again in Heaven! What is this “Journalist” expecting the answer to be? Clearly, looking for a cheap answer that puts a smile on the face of this “Journalist”.
But have we EVER seen or read any Journalist asking about the welfare of our LIVING loved ones on earth? They could be starving, suffering, homeless, caught in a war facing rape, torture! How can any parent be enjoying Heaven while his or her children are going to bed hungry, being abused by relatives, homeless! If the country is at war, mothers, sisters, wives will be facing brutal rapes, torture!
NEVER! EVER!
The trick here, obviously, is to not ask such pesky questions that makes the religious head uncomfortable, and this media does this very well.
.
Sadly, only a few faiths like Hinduism ask us to answer God’s Call, to not turn our backs on God, our people, loved ones! To walk TOWARDS the line of fire, pain & suffering!
IF NOT US, THEN WHO?
Only one way to make God Proud!
People ask — where is God? Hinduism says God is here, God is here with us, God is with the Living, not the Dead.
A child is dying of a disease, her grieving parents holding her hand, unable to control their tears. God says, “I need you here to find a cure!”
A solder is dying on the battlefield; her last thoughts filled with memories of her loved ones. God says, “We need to stop these endless wars!”
A sight all too common in the India I grew up in some time ago, a mother begging by the side of the road, a baby in her arms! God says, “You need to help such innocents!”
Where is God? God is with these people. God is with the Living, not the Dead! Choose to be with God!

Most religions have parked God in Heaven, sipping a glass of chardonnay! Why? Then their followers get to enjoy the good life also! Sit idle, doing nothing, shamelessly sponging off God, living the good life! All under the cover of “Loving God!” It is like the sycophants, cronies, yes-men of rich & powerful Sugar Daddies like Putin, Kim Jong Un saying they love them. What they really love is the rich life that these brutal dictators provide them with. And the dictator knows that as well, he knows what all these praises are for — they are not for him, but for his money, the rich life he gives them.
These dictators view their supporters with contempt and disgust! And guess what, so does God! God sees one of them coming and goes, “Here comes another shameless freeloader thinking he can just spend eternity sponging off of me!” Amazing that not even the best of minds can see this!
