Some conondrums for” stay
at home” thought?
By
P.R.Ramachander
We should
think about how
and why,
Sun and moon rise
and travel through the sky,
Stars shine like fire
flies up above the sky in
darkness and
Huge rains
lash with thunder and lightning?
WE should think
about how and why,
Large number of
grasses sprout on the first rain,
The seed put in
the earth grows in to tree
The foetus in
womb grows in to a child?
WE should think
about how and why,
The count sand varieties of animals and plants came in
earth and sea
The millions of
six legged , eight leged insects that seem to exist
And the number of
species of birds that fly
WE should think about
who is the real God.
Is he the creator of one religion ,
Is he one makes
us act, of yet
another religion,
And the all
pervasive spirit taking umpteen forms of
another religion?
We should think
how we should respect that god,
By going on a day
to a temple and some great one talking to us,
By meditating ,
saluting , worshipping and
singing ,
Or doing prescribed rituals or doing nothing in the forest?

Do I wish that the Christian would become Hindu? God forbid. Do I wish that the Hindu or Buddhist would become Christian? God forbid.
The seed is put in the ground, and earth and air and water are placed around it. Does the seed become the earth, or the air, or the water? No. It becomes a plant. It develops after the law of its own growth, assimilates the air, the earth, and the water, converts them into plant substance, and grows into a plant.
Similar is the case with religion. The Christian is not to become a Hindu or a Buddhist, nor a Hindu or a Buddhist to become a Christian. But each must assimilate the spirit of the others and yet preserve his individuality and grow according to his own law of growth. Unquote.
