Since the time of
the awareness and growth of Science as a Subject in the West, there has been
the decline in the faith of God which has also spread to the East. We have
questioned the presence of God and have failed to explain the logic or the
benefits of the faith system in the God.
Faith has never been
more important than it is today. We are moving towards physical isolation
through nuclear families, non-physical isolation due to competition across
family and at work. There is lot of unwanted and unreal fear, stress, loss of
trust, insecurity. To overcome this some people have come with philosophies.
Some of the Popular successful have been regular Positive Affirmations, Law of
attraction etc.. These philosophies may be new and is helping lot of people
around the world. But we were doing this from time immemorial with Positive
Affirmations and Positive visualization by visiting temples every day , praying
and visualizing positive things. Faith in God has kept mankind sane, like in
one of the Vachanas "the Religion
to life is like 2 wheels of the bullock cart, without which the cart cannot go
forward to the destined place and neither the life without the religion".
I am not referring destined place to heavens , but towards life without fear,
stress and insecurity.
It is difficult and
may be impossible to generate faith when mind is clouded with logic. It is time
to make the life easier and simple ( which it is :) ) for
the next generation in teaching them THE SCIENCE OF GOD!
