Me: Hello .I am here again.Well I am not going to argue if you exist or not, lets just assume you do.
Hanuman's idol: --------------------(blank)
I stand there for the next few mins ,being all spiritual and mystical.and then moved on..
Krishna's idol:Hello there.
Me:Hi...Er...I dont want to look selfish and all,but I'm gonna do what everyone does in a temple.(Except some nut cases,ofcourse).
I have a few wishes.
Krishna's idol: *Sighs .I am not a Jinn!*
(I just made this up.Well statues dont sigh,but thats what I imagine it would have done had it been able to .)
Me:Ok.I have heard stories in which you grant wishes,lets clear up some things.
- Either people dont get what they actually want because of you outwitting them on what they asked for OR
- They are never satisfied with that wish and die unsatisfied and unhapy OR
- You fulfill their wishes but in the end they realise that its all moh-maya.
- Also some people try to be clever,and ask for the famous paradoxical wish that everything they wish for comes true.AND then their life goes on to follow a trajectory similar to the movie Bruce Almighty.
- Some people anger you with their wishes,and instead get cursed.
- Some phonies declare that they dont need anything and are satisfied with what they have,and in the end ...dont get anything .
So lets just say,since you're a god, you go deep into my mind,see what I want to be happy and what I really need, and fulfill it as much as your powers allow you to.(no offence)
Somehow ,the LORD (or the idol) seemed to gape at me with wide eyes,baffled look.
Me: Ok now I really need to move on.I dont want to be partial,because else I might have to face the wrath of the Other LORDS out there.(Forgive me for thinking so, because as it might be the case- GOD IS ONE. and even if you are not one..I mean you all are not one...you are supposed to be very broad-minded.Such fears are,in part,promoted by games like Caesar 3 and Age of Mythology)
Moving on...
With Lord(ess?) Saraswati up next..
Me:Hey.So you are the goddess of knowledge and arts.So..uhmm I should ask for something academic and intellectual.
Somehow,the statue seemed to narrow its eyes,to give that saracastic look girls often give.
Me:Oh dont be offended. See I am not a bad kid.I well...follow the general ethics..being helpful ,spiritual and all.Its just that I am more than often involved in the moral religious dilemma of believing in you or not.So I here(me here) may seem derogatory.In any case,as i said,I am a good kid.
So....well....I am wishing for somethings here...and just have a chat with lord Krishna before taking any further action.Ofcourse,it would be very comfortable for me if you are one and the same.(But very awkward for you!)
********Confidential wishes**************
Next...Shiva the Destroyer.
Me:Well... Er... Dont destroy me.
P.S:
- I sincerely apologise to anyone who is hurt by this post,and I want to make it clear that I dont really mean the apology.
- This actually happened with me in the temple.Though it is slighly overblown and exagerrated.
- I felt really calm and peaceful in the temple,though I wanted to resist thinking all these wierd thoughts.
- I feel that this turns out to be a nice satire on the concept of God ,which , when put alongside the beliefs propounded by the believers (like God is one,impartial etc.), is self contradictory.
- No offence god.I do really believe in you.You are great! (I dont really believe,but why take the risk?)
- Oh shit If gods read this,then I am going to HELL!
- It would be nice of you all to drop a comment,I really want to see the general opinion.
