Salvation or Liberacy?

 

Salvation or liberacy?

As I am here in Kathmandu (the city of temples), I often Visit Temple. The ultimate destination to reach after a hectic day of book pressure and other tensions is the Periphery of Lord Pashupatinath. Every evening at around 6:30 P.M, evening Arati is performed at the Temple to praise the greatness of God and to Thank him for making our day and life Great. Every time I visit Lord Pashupatinath, the only question arises in my mind is, "If Human have this level of faith in God Then Why does they Perform Inhuman activities which will be never be forgiven by God?", and "Why are they offering the Money to the God, which they have earned by killing the God inside someone?", Why?

I visit temple mostly in those days, when I am really tired from the Day and my mind is not working even with my continuous effort to make it work It might sound funnier to you, when I say that the Powerful Music of Shiva tandav, the crowd of people chanting jay jay and Fragrance of fragrance stick at the temple makes my brain active but yes, it is actually true in my case.

Aren't you thinking he was talking about true faith in God but he himself visits temple for his own satisfaction not for the faith with god?

Oh! Really??

You aren’t thinking?

Good for me but If I were you I would definitely think that.

Sorry to say but I used to visit Temple to feel the satisfaction within myself, but the incident I am going to express has totally changed the thought inside me.

I am writing this with all my feelings I had collected in these few hours of my Temple visit. The watch in my wrist is showing time 12:10 P.M and with a lot of hidden thoughts, I don’t know they will or will not come out from me while writing this text, I am trying to get my feelings in Texted form.

Its 2021/01/22 A.D (2077/02/09 B.s) today, I had visited Pashupatinath at around 6:25 P.M. When I reached there 4 Beautiful Human bodies were already turned into ashes. Their long life desire and thoughts were still somewhere visible in the horizon for the last time. I am not that Weak Person who ever fears of dead bodies or who scares of Death, I am preparing for MBBS entrance and if everything goes well, hope to wear White coat soon but, I felt a different vibe over there when I saw a Mother crying over the dead body of his 10-12 years old son. She was talking to him as if he would wake up and again sleep in her lap as he did 10-12 years ago for the first time.

A lot of people have defined Society on their own and the nature and the characteristics of the society based on the images they have seen in their daily life but People have forgot to add one characteristics of this luring society that, "None of the Society Members Smile from the heart when they find someone else in Pleasure and none of them show their tears for real when they find someone else in Pain".

Sorry! But if you are among them who really cares for what others feel other than your parents and family members then You are abnormal and you are in wrong place of existence.

I would like to name my SOCIETY as the society of illusion where everyone is assuming to care each other. Infact that’s not the fault of the members living in the society, it's all created by the almighty. Everyone is assuming over here; look even I am assuming that almighty has created illusion. I am not an atheist; God forgive me if I had spoken something much against you. But its true there is illusion in this society where nobody cares about the true feelings, everyone pretend to be sad, pretend to be happy and come back to their own life.

And the same incident happened to me this evening, the two sides of Society was being exposed there at Pashupatinath's Lap. Bright side was People were completely praising the greatness of God and the dark side was People were forgetting the Pain of the Mother crying at other bank of the river Baghmati. She was crying, remembering the False Hope God gave her when her son was born. People at the side of the bank were clapping for the greatness of god and the poor mother on the other side was beating her chest for the unfair task of the God. The Voice of poor Mother was quite smaller than the Voice of Devotees praising god but I am sure God has heard the Sound of poor Mother earlier than the Sound of devotees because the Pain in Body is found easily than the pleasure in the mind. We all are the children of God Then Don’t you think God had heard her voice earlier?

After few minutes her Son was turned into ashes but the faith of the Mother was still trying to make back her son. Devotees were returning home but the poor mother was still standing by the side of her sons last Smell. Fragrance stick were being finished but her belief was still giving fragrance of love for her child. Fire went out, her laps were still giving warmth to her child and the beacon of faith lighted for the God was about to blow out but her eyes were still burning the rays of faith.

People were busy praising the God, forgetting that the same thing poo mother is facing today will be faced by their family members in departure of themselves or in the departure of their loved ones. I am a truly religious person. I never kept my forehead empty till was in grade 10 but when I came away from home circumstances forced me to keep my forehead empty as I was alone here. I never complaint about not Putting Tika or not believing in God. I am grown up is religious environment my mother, grandmother including other family members are the greatest devotee of God. I agree I haven’t seen God yet but I believe in the existence of God. (#Don’t take me as atheist who doesn’t believe in God)

 The only thing I deny in the context of God is, "People saying. He says praise me and sing the greatness of mine in front of those who are suffering and thinking they are suffered from me". God is equal for all, though different religious group praises different groups of Gods. We Hindus praise "33 Koti" God, Christians praises Jesus and Muslims praises Allah but the ideology of all group is same that we should not be in pleasure if someone else is in Pain. Then Why the hell we are busy Gaining Salvation even if Someone's liberacy is in front of our eyes.

Why are we caring for Salvation though we know we will surely get Liberacy?   

 

I was sure earlier that the liberacy or freedom is sure in someone's life and My visit to temple used to be for my own peace of mind, after the incident I faced today I had felt that if every day I am living is because of God and the breath I am taking is because of God then, can't I praise him? Obviously I can thank him till day mine breathe becomes air.

 

In the rush of getting Salvation being alive, forgetting the inner truth of liberacy we are trying to get False Peace and Satisfactions within ourselves.

Have we ever thought for what? are we trying to salvation?

For the breath that will once become air! If not, then for what?

No one is pure here. The mother who was crying over the dead body of her son might also have cheated the god knowingly and unknowingly. But at last did she got Salvation or Liberacy? No, she didn’t get anything except the pain.

 

The only moral I got is Salvation or liberacy all depends upon us. If we think we are doing good for us and not bad for others too then that’s salvation and whenever we visit temple if we thank God for our beautiful life and the breath, we are taking then that’s the liberacy.

 

Beyond this If we try to choose between Salvation or liberacy by counting the chants of God we sang then we are the Path of Destruction like that of mirrors in vehicles in which objects seems far but actually they are nearer than they appear.

 

That’s why While choosing between Salvation and liberacy I would better choose Peace!                                                                                                                     मोक्ष कि मुक्ती?

पशुपतिको ढोकै अगाडि 

बागमतीको वल्लो किनारमा 

एक जमात,मोक्षका लागि  ताली पिट्दै छन् 

पल्लो किनारमा,अर्कै जमात 

मुक्तीपछि छाती पिट्दै छ्न् 

अन्तिममा सबै सकिएपछी 

ताली पिट्ने जमातबाट छोरो बोकेकी आमाले प्रसाद पाउने छिन्

तिमी नै भनी देउँ प्रभु,

छाती पिट्ने जमात बाट, छोरोलाई आगो लाउने  आमाले

मोक्ष पाउने छिन् कि मुक्ती पाउने छिन्।।
