There
are various incidents that are happening in life which are forcing me to think
on it and when I do so I found that my thinking on any of such issues/incidents
are overlapping as am not differentiating the positive and negative aspect of
the same. Recently I saw the movie OMG(O My God) which depicts the reality of
the spiritual care taker of god who are so called BABA’s in India who runs the
business on the name of god and are diverting devotees and on other side they
are also forcing the people to discontinue their faith on the god due to fraud
BABA’s and this is not only the reason that
people are not having faith in god, I think that education is also
playing an role in making people so called “NASTIK” (as in Hindi phrase).
Education
is no doubt providing an individual to think intellectually but this
intellectuality is sometimes getting on with the ego and resulting in over
confidence. One of my friends shared his experience with me that was he once
offered Prasad to one of his professor the professor replied that am not taking
it as Prasad but I would take it as a kind of sweet. So this thinking of an
highly educated person is somewhat an unfaith in religion which is all due to
his high intellectual thinking which came from reading different work of
various writers or philosophers. They are trying to imitate their identity to
be individual who totally believes in practical and logical work. It’s totally
correct that one must think practically on different things and situation and
it’s for sure that by consuming any Prasad any one is not going to be benefited but you are a part of society and it is having an actor like
religion which is having a great impact in societal life of individual so one
must at least try to be inclusive by being the part of the system or belief
that is prevailing from long.
So
getting educated is not enough for an individual to be the part of the society.
One must try to be inclusive in societal norms although its sometimes not
making any difference on practical ground.
