Atheist or otherwise – by fault or default?

Atheism, dharma, God, religion, spirituality

Can atheists & non-athists coexist peacefully? Yup, I sure think so. That’s b’cos both reside within me!!

My father believed in God. My mother doesn’t.

This simple fact gave me the best gift – that of Personal Choice!

If both parents were believers, I’d have been unwittingly (and witlessly) built along similar lines. If both parents were atheists, I’d have been poured into a similar mould.

Now I’m free to think, judge, evaluate, transform, debate, expand horizons and explore. Have I reached a decision? Cant say. I’m still open to revelations.

All I can say at present is :

Varna is not equal to Caste
Ritual is not equal to Religion
Religion is not equal to Dharma

We, the Living

Glutes so tight

& Morals so loose;

Torsos so sculpted

& Psyches so tattered;

Voices so loud

– Yet cries that go unheard;

Prejudices so mighty

& Egos so fragile;

Quick to hurt

& Slow to forgive;

Connected by networks so dense

& distanced by chasms so wide;

Linked to everything

– Or chained to every damn thing?

‘Tis a world where

Virtual is a reality

& Virtue is a liability.

Love should resemble an iceberg

More depth than (public) display

A heady whirlpool. A delicious vortex

Or an alluring Bermuda’s triangle

into which hearts mysteriously melt and merge

The surgeon’sdecision

“Doctor saab, my child got a bruise on his knee. It’s bleeding heavily. Help, please.”

“Hmm, blood is very precious. We cannot permit its loss,” said the #surgeon. Nobody was sure if he owned a medical degree. However, his ancestor had been a great surgeon once upon a time. He spent plenty of his earnings to ensure that the young surgeon’s face was splashed upon pamphlets and trumpeted through handouts as the upcoming Messiah.

The village people were #innocent, #trusting and #hopeful. So they trusted and hoped.
