DIVINE 'PRAYER' OR BRIBE ?
"Ishwara sarv bhutanam hrad daishay Arjun tishtatee....[Geeta,61/18]";
Exposition Arjun,within the hearts of all living entities resides the god and the potency of energy which orchestrates the movements and actions of all living entities like figurines on a carousel.
Divine sanctimonious sanctity for human actions,undertakings and initiatives indeed ! And then supposedly ~
If god himself is a Babu who can be bribed to do your bidding with a prayer, a few diyas or candles or 24 hour non stop ritualistic jagrata , where’s the harm in slipping some currency notes to a bureaucrat or politician or policeman to do what you want done? Doesn't god himself teach us to bribe? In which case, how can bribery and corruption be bad things, if they're God-given?
And then ~
Is not relationship of followers and believers with their respective deity or deities-and with all variety of gods/goddess exclusively commercial ?Are they not exclusive people in the world who tell their god ,point blank that should he do what they wish for,they would present sweets to eat or a silver/gold umbrella,new clothes,a new abode with all modern facilities including air conditioner for gruelling summer months.And their respective business may be directly or indirectly linked with any type of moral turpitude.After all he is their own god-very own and accordingly they keep no secrets from him.Can any one cite a religion in the world in which the relationship between god and the devotee is so reciprocal ?
