God, Godliness, Religion, Responsibility and Choice

Rajesh Srivastava

God is associated with 'Godliness'. There itself, God of which particular religion (as conventionally and quite unfortunately misunderstood) becomes insignificant.

Godliness is the Key. Godliness is whatever adds to or is sustaining the Happiness of this World. It's akin to Beauty in the Truest sense like when we say "make the World a better place to live". All beautiful things -- lovely songs, smiles, friendship, acts of goodness, parenting -- go in there.

Therefore, claiming to be 'religious' without practicing Godliness is faking around, hypocritical and strictly speaking 'irreligious'.

A word about 'Dharm' and 'Karm'.
'Dharm' is actually " Laws of the Cosmos" in line with e=mc2.
'Karm' is a person's deeds -- good or bad in the perspective of Godliness as described above.
These are not to be mistaken for Hindu religion words, as commonly misunderstood.
They are Fundamental and Universal like Science and Maths.

Why have I explained all this?
Just to tell a simple straightforward fact:
Good deeds are good and
Bad deeds, bad. Bad deeds are Crime and the doer a CRIMINAL. No confusion. No justification. Period.

Our Responsibility:
Again, it's not only Good Deed and bad deed. Other than Su-karma and Ku- karma, there's one more --- 'A-karma' !! Beware of this !!
This is a silent killer!
By Not acting against Ku-karma which is Ungodly, we all fall prey and fail in our Duties to add/ sustain the Beauty. It is considered as bad as Ku-karma. It's like silently observing something wrong taking place and remaining quiet.

WHILE FOLLOWING GODLINESS, IT IS ALSO INCUMBENT UPON US, EVEN MORE SO FOR THE SAKE OF OUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE, THAT WE STAMP OUT CRIMINALS FORCEFULLY WITH ALL OUR WHEREWITHAL AND MIGHT

Essentially, there's just good Deed and bad Deed. Good Deed adds to the Beauty of the Universe and bad deeds just the opposite.

It is in the very nature of Existence (Kayanat) and Human Beings, nature's Supreme Creation, to love and share Goodness.
Friends, also note - another interesting thing:

'Religion' and 'Mazhab' aren't the true synonyms of 'Dharm'!
The former are simply 'a way of practice or faith, customs' while the latter is 'Laws of the Cosmos' (not conventional Hinduism)
All this I have written for you/ all to introspect "what real Value Addition/ Contribution/ Goodness" each of these so-called Religious Sects have brought in, given to the world. And then Choose! 😊
