Notice the people in most of the holy shrines, be it a temple, church, dargah,gurudwara and there are many similarities.The kind of people who throng due to the ever increasing stress and problems they accumulate for themselves as they love to complicate their lives and not keep it simple.Agreed, people have difficulties, as all of us have ,but the very fact that god has made you go through these trying times is for you to come out more stronger , more matured and more wiser from the same.The people coming there are from all strata of life and of various age groups.Children tag along , some because the parents force them, and some because they love to.The youngsters because the exams are round the corner and its a question of what next in life.Maybe they have a situation where love matters need to be confidentially addressed and solutions are sought in his abode.Rich and poor,enter the holy sanctum and search for loose change and soiled currency notes to offer as donations..!!! The very source of what we are is being offered the smallest change in return for all that he gives us.What a pity!!We human beings are so crooked and always negotiate with almighty,stating,if this happens , i will do that !!!Why all this 'want"and craving to acquire materialistic useless things that could be somebody else's when you are not there anymore to enjoy them.
The urgency to meet God is seen in the rush to stand in a queue,take a special ticket at a special price,cut corners and apply influence and political pressure to cut through the lines and serpentine queues.Even after reaching closest to him you still quickly do the actions from outside as if you are a trained "chimpanzee" and walk away.Why??God will meet you every where, anywhere and anytime provided you have a genuine intent to meet him as well.I have come across people who are so busy(doing what , I don't know) but will take the darshan from a distance and quickly whiz past completing the formalities.Some behave as if they are 'GOD"!!They will dress up and give all kinds of impressions to make one feel as if he is the ultimate.God save them and the gullible people who fall in these traps.The way people dress up when they visit a holy shrine, the body odours, the actions and display of "surrender" are fascinating indeed.The hurry and quick entry exit is even more fascinating.Eating the prasad is as if they never ate in their lives ever.Attending mobile phones in the premise is something I always fail to understand inspite of clear signages stating not to do so.
Washing your feet before you enter the premise is mandatory and yet people come in socks.Some take a wash as if they are having a bath and even clearing their throats there!!!!!!!!Ugh.How do people even not have that simple common sense ??The trustees behave as if they own "GOD"!!!God must be smiling down upon us to see the assorted specimens he has created and the chaos we create which is an experience for him as well, I presume.Sorry God for all these mishaps and wish I could be more tolerant as he is to accept this or try and change it and make the world a better place by striving to create awareness patiently..
