The debates on the existence of that eternal supernatural power are many. The explanations offered for the doctrine of God are numerous. Some say that God is not to be searched beyond but that each soul is God in itself, while some say that love is God. Some insist that it is our own thoughts and beliefs that give form to it and make things work. But amongst all these principles I see only one common undercurrent that propels us all. It is the fact, that the search is not as elusive as it is portrayed, that it is not the search outside but that within.
Many experiments have been made in our film industry on this controversial, but profound subject with films like “Anbe Sivam”, “Naan Kadavul” and the most recent “Delhi 6”. All the stories keep telling us the same thing. God as we have been taught to see in temples, mosques, churches or Gurdwaras are all the positivity that is present in our own souls.
With the quest to understand ourselves begins the journey to understand that eternal power. Only if we learn to understand who we are would we be able to comprehend our social ecosystems. Only if we love ourselves could we love others. Only if we learn to deal effectively with our own negativities can we learn to deal with the negative entity that wreaks the rest of the world. Only if we are able to satisfy our own conscience and take responsibility for our actions will be able to make peace with our destinies. Only if we find joy within ourselves would we be able to find joy with others.
To all those reading this blog, I would like to say this. This is not an attempt to preach anything. This is a space I have used to share what I see as I begin my journey of self discovery. This blog is an attempt to enlighten nobody, but it is one of revelations as I learn to see the world in a different perspective – a perspective in which there is one soul understanding itself and merging with that great ocean of humanity.
