“Know Ye not that Ye are Gods ? ”

“Know Ye not that Ye are Gods ? ”

Today the 22nd March 2010 , 2200 hrs, IPL cricket match between Kolkata knight riders and Mumbai Indians is being telecast on S max.

Sachin flicks two consecutive good length deliveries for four.

Commentator comments “ Ishant Sharma must be thinking of going to Him and asking please tell me what the hell was wrong with this ball”

There are absolutely no words in any language on this planet to describe Him.

Whenever He is playing, the commentators and the spectators are so mesmerized that they just keep praising him. There are always lots of banners describing Him as God. The one that caught my eye today read “ Sachin has reduced the number of atheist in the world”. Though I was always a strong atheist myself I began thinking about the statement.

I wondered why people call someone God when we all are human. I hated this kind of extravagant adulation and glorification. Perhaps we call someone God just because we cannot describe his work / activity in the language known to us. The Thesaurus is not yet complete, the expressions are not yet known, and the limit of sentiments and emotions is infinite and not yet known to us.

Following is the list of few Gods that I know.

My Mother, Issac Newton, Albert Einstein, Galileo, Amitabh Bachchan, Micheal Jackson, Elvis Presley, Dhyanchand, Pele, Roger Federer, Ayn Rand, Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar, Mohammad Rafi, Talat, Mukesh, Mir, Galib, Wasim Akram, Ghulam Ali, Mohammad Ali, Alexander, Sachin, Sunil Gavaskar, Aristotle, Dan Brown, Thomas Edison, Bohr, Plank, etc. The list is endless.

It was their perfection through focused mind on what they believed and did that made them God for me.

We were the dedicated, devoted, focused, powerful, motivated, inspired and enthusiastic cells with desire to be born and possess the all powerful mind. We had the belief in our self to overcome all barriers. We did so and reached here.

We still have those qualities “The God” within us. We need to believe it and energize it so as to reach the next phase.

Searching “The God” within myself, I remain.
