God was here!!

First of all i am not a believer of Sai Baba and neither is this post about him.

Recently i had the opportunity of having a rather fascinating conversation with a companion of mine.We discussed on a variety of topics ranging from current ongoings in politics,movies and the sudden demise of Sai Baba .I quizzed him to express his sentiments about the same.Though he is a self confessed atheist he said there must be something about this guy that mesmerized people to huddle up in masses to catch a glimpse .I dug a littler deeper and asked him if he feels embittered when people say that he was a reincarnation of god.Like most of the people my age he starting questioning the existence of god himself and ridiculed on the whole idea and went on to saying that the man was a magician and used hypnosis as a tool to catch people's awe.He went on to establish the fact that his personal life was kind of murky.He had thousands of crore stashed up in his banks and that he had a lavishly extravagant kind of a lifestyle."Baba's don't live that way",he said. I murmured my acceptance afterwards.

I could not stop myself from reflecting on the fact that why most of us have become cynics with such querulous kind of attitude.Prodigious scandals and there trails leading to the nations most trusted dignitaries have afflicted a never healing wound on the sense of trust and security of our people.Corruption is going hand in hand with the ever increasing growth of the Indian economy.

A person who declared himself to be god with millions of followers is believed to be a wizard.

Only one question pops up in my head from time to time, what will happen when the much expected  and awaited reincarnation of god comes to earth ?how would people come to believe the fact that god is here .How would he establish his divinity?

I am sure it would a difficult task for the almighty.Lets imagine like lord Ram or Jesus Christ, god comes back on earth to enlighten us .This time also he wont be using any of his Laser beams or flying techniques.He decides to live the life of a common man and lead the life of virtue.Decide to fulfill his duties towards his family,society and country .Do his job selflessly ,ignoring corruption and bribes.Pays all his bills and taxes.Doesn't give out bribes at government offices and traffic signals to twitch the laws a bit for his convenience.Stands in line, waiting for hours to get his own money at banks and submit the fees of his children.Complaints about other offenders of law.Goes to vote with the hope that someday a new light of wholesome growth will dawn the land of our nation.Doesn't go stealing electricity for functions or construction at his home.Has no qualms about  getting transferred every month just for his dignity.Lives in a mediocre rented home ,drives a rattling scooter which needs hours to start, and wears clothes that doesn't always stick to his body.

      Think people ,look around a little well we all know such a person who lives in our vicinity,haven't we? .The person who lost his hair early, whose sideburns turned white before his age could catch up.He walks around in his chappals which slap the heels of his feet when he walks .The person who people ridicule as a loser and underachiever .We have all laughed about his state of penury owing to his high headedness  and exaggerated amount of principles .We have said that he hides his incompetence behind his so called virtues.But we have all notes one thing that never leaves him alone the smile of contentment that always adore his face rugged by the sweat from his forehead and his pleasant way to express himself.

This means that we have all seen god and lived next to him.But did we realize his worth? No we didn't .Its completely incompatible to think that god would come on earth one day and would as a a commoner turn around  things in the current scenario .He too would be labeled as looser ,there would be no Hanuman or Laxman to stick with him in his time of hardships .God has been around people! lets follow him .Change happens when we start believing and appreciating things .Rather then running after Baba's we should seek the company of the bald, slightly bent person who has white hair laden sideburns and a smile of contentment adoring his face.He lives nearby ,go and meet him.
