God is something that i have never understood... i remember when i was a kid, every saturday i used to have an oil bath.. rather my granny used to give me one... after the bath there was this whole ritual of reciting prayers and being all holy and all... never understood any of it... Frankly,i've forgotten most of those prayers...When i visit a temple(which is rare) i have no clue what to do ther... people ring bells and chant i don't know what and try and feel all religious and devoted... no one really seems to know what or who god is?? surprisingly the elders in my family have a ritualistic approach to god and don't know why they do certain things...
Prayer and god is one way a person can acheive peace with one's self... It doesn't necessarily have to be instituted in a child... When children are told to do something, they do it without putting forth any questions as to why they are being made to do something... We realise the whole aspect of mental peace and being stress free only once we've reached a certain age...Like now... i question the presence of god...
Its all in the mind... if someone wants to do something, and he applies his mind to it, he will succeed... i think that anything that gives a person satisfaction,happiness and can take away any form of misery is god... i love music... a great song can really put me in another world... music gets me through the tough times and makes me happy... music is my god... i don't condemn the fact that people spend a lot of time praying... it doesn't make sense to me..
