A common man's philosophy
- Mr. SRINIVASA RAO THOTA

Page: 1 of 1

Truly speaking, I have not seen God yet. In fact, I have been known to this earth for the last many years. Personally I have never met God. Many religions gave different names to their God. At the same time I can’t deny the existence of God. But to this little mind of mine, I always answer that there is a supreme power which is controlling this universe, let me consider or let me give a name to that energy is as God, may be. I am a human being having five senses. With these five senses I have been trying to acquire knowledge from this universe, throughout my life. In fact, there are millions of senses in this universe, but I am having only five among them. But my small mind thinks it has everything, and it tries to define everything. Many times I do know that it is wrong, but with the help of this mind I developed little intelligence. Telephone helped me to get strong sense to listen even from long distance, even television helps me to see anything in the world. I think with my intelligence I may acquire another hundred more senses but not all. Holding a piece of iron and magnet in two different hands of me, I don’t have a sense of justice to recognise which is iron and which is magnet. Like that I don’t have the power to recognise all the states/characters in this world. How can I say , I am complete man with intelligence with only these five senses? But these five senses are less capable in comparison of other living beings, in one case, dog is 30,000 times more powerful than human being in recognising smell. In that case of smell-sense, I am nothing before dog. So, what I wanted to say is, I don’t have sufficient knowledge to understand whole universe, and it is very sure, with only these five senses, it is not possible to give perfect definitions on everything existed in this world, even the existence of god. Many religions show different gods. But surprisingly, as male domination is existed in our present society, as well as in gods also domination of male is existed. Jesus-Christianity, Mohammed-Islam, Buddha-Buddhism, Krishna-Siva-Ram-Hinduism,(of course Hinduism has many female gods) Guru Nanak-Sikhism. It shows all male-gods are at top position in even religions in the name of god. So some times a question comes in my mind, Is God created man? Or , Is man created God? Whoever may be, if such a supreme power is there in this universe, that is very welcome to this man kind. A man and a woman united one time with a beautiful thought of giving me a hundred years of life on this earth, means gave me a birth. In my bad time, a man has shown right path to lead my life. My neighbor had educated me in enjoying truth. A stranger helped me in a nick of moment of my need. There are many important people around me. If I don’t believe these people, how can I believe that that I am believing in God. If I don’t believe these gods around me in a form of human beings, how can I believe God whom I have not met ever or seen ever or talked ever. So I want to say, there are many people around in such important positions in your life, look God in them, rather than looking for God some where else. My another question is, if you can’t reach these people, how can u reach God? So, my mind is minute before this universe to define anything. But I have been trying to understand the things before me clearly and truly. The very basic truths are in me, the truth of universe is in me. I have to identify that and I have to travel a long journey with you all. For that first of all I have to understand you all and I have to consider you all gods. “ In the above article, there may be many controversial points to those who have truly experienced God already or to those who are having different opinions about God and human mind. But I am a common man having little mind expressing my knowing at this present stage to all of you. I can’t deny your true opinions, or I am not at all opposing your views. My present state of mind may take me into another state in the coming future, that time I may join you all.”
