God

Is God happy? He appears to be mysterious but can a mystery exist without clues? So he is a creator. But what was his source? If he doesn't feel either pain or happiness, how does beauty flow from him?
God must not be human. Have you ever thought of the 'inhuman' atrocities happening in the name of God? But again, inhuman is in-human.
So one day God woke up from his slumber. He looked around. There were goddesses, and cows and money (during those days there were only black and white televisions, so we couldn't guess the real colour). There was wealth, benevolence and darkness. But our dear God didn't have a friend (since ek ladka aur ladki kabhi dost nahi ban sakte)! Basically our God was lonely as we have always been taught that there is only One God!
This is probably when he decided to have fun. He met specifically Indian sadhus and introduced them to tapasya. In other words, he asked our philosophers to be inward looking : 'God is within us'.
Cut to your own existence. You are alone, are you not?

Now let's play this game with God. My experiences have taught me that our playmates have a higher chance of becoming our friends than those who never play with us. So let's make God happy. In each game there are two outcomes : winning and losing (draw isn't an outcome, it's an order for children to be imaginative). We know what his goal has been. That makes our one simple. Let's not be inward looking for a few days. Let's look at each other. If God is within each of us, let's seek him from someone else but ourselves. In bits and pieces let us understand him. It won't harm if in the process we end up understanding each other.

Dear God,
I love you. I really do. I believe that I can be your friend, through my friends. I know you have too much love to handle anyway from so many beautiful goddesses. Yet, we burden you with our love sometimes. But ek ladka aur ek ladka sirf dost ho sakte hai, aisa bhi to nahi hai! So I will love you with all my heart, but through all the love that I receive. To be honest, you made life easy. As they said, "Bas saans lene ki zaroorat hai."

yours sin-clearly,
yours truly.

p.s. 4th wall breaking alert :
He/She , ki fark payenda hai?
