Beyond Empirical Perception..!!



"If the knowledge of a God is the most necessary, why is it not the most evident and the clearest?"
I was just surfing on a site related to P. B. Shelley and found this, and somehow it makes me think.. i feel the same ways.
"God".
Since childhood, we are taught to believe in only what we see, what we know. To reach to a conclusion only by looking at the facts, to form out a decision by logic. But then why the Knowledge of the most important driving force of our lives 'God' falsifies all these teachings?
The only thing we are made to believe and trust the most, is not evident enough. We keep on beleiving in something accepting it to be our own, but then why are not we allowed to question it? Why is it considered a sin to question something we are clearly accepted to just believe in and then believe blindly? Why is it then thrust to us, the only thing that matters to us all is thrust upon us and better left unquestioned, Why? We have, yes we do have tonnes and tonnes of scriptures, manuscripts to back the theory, but are they evidence enough to believe such a vague theory.
The most powerful driving force of our lives is a vague line for us to follow, to trust, to believe, in something that we dont have proper evidence of, to put all our pleas on someone we dont know, some one we have never had a chance to meet, still we thrive to have some connection, to give a final try to reach him, to be near him somehow, to feel the power, to let ourselves forget everyhing else and let ourselves lose in his power, his love.
And, at the end we need someone to rely on, someone strong enough to hold us up, someone who will always be there for us, someone who'll never let us down, someone who'll never leave us stranded, someone who is our innermost strength.

@ ashu

heya thnx for dropping by..

bilkul chalega nahi daudega. wotsay? :)
Actually that was one really nice concept you've brought in here.. I'm a self proclaimed atheist and I believe there's no evidence for God except that it's taught to you from childhood and hence you have it as a part of you for life!

The quote was too good!

To believe in a spiritual power can often be healing, whether or not it exists.
My spiritual beliefs come from a car wreck in 1975. My near death has made me reject my childhood beliefs and given be a different way of seeing reality. My oldest son asked me if I
believed in science or religion and I told him I didn't believe in political systems that worship words.

@ Shrav

thanks.
U knw smthing thats taughta 2 u to believe in and yet u dont even knw whta u r believing in.

it gets so confusing if u start thinking this way... bt yes.. once u start beleiving u love it too. (more confusing)

@ Solitaire

I totally agree with you, this is what i ws trying to say in my post.

Evn if u dnt knw abt the existence den too u want to beleive it and if u dnt u feel a void.

@ Robert

I get amazed every time i read wt u write. evn if its juzt a word, it talks millions. Your words have great impact, how with a simple extract you have left such big a mark.

What you beleive comes from what you go through in your life totally depends on the the situations and yes here is where perception comes in. 10 people 10 new ways to look at the same thing.
spiritual beliefs?? well i am not sure i believe in those higher powers or not ..but yeah one thing is for sure that it does help sometimes..

you write well!!! nice post

@ nefariousoutlook

Hmm.. you feel so secure smtimes or cn we put it this way.. smtimes you actually want to beleive that there is a power under whom we are all safe. We want to find a sense of security.


thanks. :)
nidhi - sorry not been commenting on your posts of late but simply had to respond to this lovely text. I feel so fortunate that I do believe in a higher power we can turn to not only in need but to thank for the good times. With the way the universe, world, man, animals, plants, elements are, - there simply has to be a designer in whatever way we perceive it. Great post. I agree Robert has a great way with words. - wish I could express myself half as well.

@ Joan

Hi its all right. Evn i have not been much regular off late.

Thank you soo much for appreciating it.
Yeah sometime we do luve to trust and we in fact need to beleive ourselves that there is a higher power out there who cn take care of everything.. we want to put everything on smne and whom better than God himself.

Everyone has their own area of talent.. and yours too is one of the most amazing arts...
Playing so well with colors is not evyone's cup of tea either. :)
I wish I could paint like Joan.

I'm writing this comment to confess to a lie. My spiritual beliefs didn't come from my near death in that car wreak in 1975. I was born with my spiritual beliefs. I'm so very tired of lying about who I am. I've swam in rivers of imagination between life and death many times. I just can't lie anymore. God is real by any other name.
We always question things. You might question whether all the things (religious mostly) are true or not. The only thing that we have as proof are books written by men.

They might not be true.

I dont argue that fact. You might or might not be true.

But i just cant deny that there is someone out there, almighty.

Someone looking over us.

I have never seen God. I might never.
But i believe in him.
I reject all books, all religious and all science. You should question everything I write. You should question everything.

I ask myself everyday is reality as I see it or was I born insane?

Explore your own imagination as you'll learn more from it than any book.

I believe I was once touched the mind of God but perhaps I am just a crazy man and nothing more.

@ Robert

evryone has his own beliefs and its his or her right to beleieve and maitain what he wants to. and its not abt lying its about not being able to accept and this is human nature.

@ Shiv (Luke)

Shiv its not abt nt believing.

If i am questioning doesnt mean i dont beleive in God and not blessed abt the possibility of him taking care and loving us.

And u sound so much like the old Bible - You should not types.
иidhi S said…
@ Robert

Hi thanks Robert for answering that one.. itotally completely agree.. you will never learn until you start questioning and what wolrd are we living in?
Life is all about exploring questioning and finding answers to those questions.. how cn we not question and just sit back with what others have told or found out about.

Its always great to have something or someone strong that we can lean on when it gets tough. I guess when we have run out of people around us, God steps in to fill that void. And he stays put. How much ever weight we put on him.

i come from a religion where the belief in God lies in not being able to see Him coz hes above a normal body like ours. we would be able to see Him in the hereafter coz then we wud be an upgraded version of humans, more spiritual and have the power to see our creator.

and when we talk of religion, any religion for that matter,we talk of faith and faith is blind ( you wrote in ur post about believing in smth blindly) but then again even if faith means believing in smth blindly, there are enough miracles in our lives for us to believe that the foundations of our lives are set by someone so huge and different that he exists in a different form than us thus we are not able to see him

just my belief regarding ur post.
peace :)

@ Vrij

Thanks for dropping by.

well exactly my thoughts..and what better to believe in smthing unknown.. the security on relying on someone who has got no weaknesses and is stronger than ever.
иidhi S said…
@ mubi

Hi i agree to what u r trying to say...but then does dat all stop us from questioning... and questioning is not bad.. it helps you learn...

otherwise people would have never sought out the fact of earth being round...all questionings at initial stages have been shunned...I believe evn if yopu dnt have a logic or proof...still never stop questioning..
иidhi S said…
@ Gunj

hi,

yeah dats actually depends on whom we look upto..and having someone is all that matters...but then relying on God gives you far more satisfaction..smtimes.
KP said…
good post!!

it all depends on every individual:). everyone has their own belief. I guess as long as u r not hurting someone else everyhting is good:).
иidhi S said…
Hey KP...

Long time...howdy

hmm rightly put..until u r hurting smone..everythings fair..
and its good to stick to what you believe rather than what people want to make you do.
