'Be simple and patient’, he said as
he looked down at the Rolex and shifted uneasily. He had a flight to catch.'
Never be in a hurry and avoid praying, god doesn’t count his blessings, you
don’t count his praying time', he said half closing his eyes and eying the
exit. Barely 50 minutes left for the flight and the driver wasn’t there yet.’
God is always there, with you down the path of life, if you just sit and
meditate you will feel him around you, within you, clearly any obstacles you
face'. He got up hurriedly as he saw the car arrive, rushing down the aisle,
praying that the path to the airport was clear.
Meet the modern god man.
Funny how, in a country where
poverty is a major issue existing in all parts of the country, people still
manage to provide more to the gods than to their own family.
The tax free trusts are loaded
heavier than the national treasury. Isn’t someone who supposedly created
everyone and everything, obviously self sustainable and content? Or maybe we
blindly follow our ritualistic tradition of bribing, in this case for a better
life in exchange for paper money. Even if you believe in that for a minute, do
you really think God follows the business model of LIC ? That he needs such men
as agents and officers to promote the universal well being in exchange for the
gratification of insatiable carnal desires.
This might seem a little stupid and
cheeky, but although Indians are one of the smartest races in terms of mental
power, the things we do at the orders of people who don’t even have a high
school certificate are downright foolish. No, marrying a tree or dog does
not ward off evil spirits. When the Guru asks you to take your clothes off in order free
yourself from mortal greed , he is just getting you naked. A set of random rocks
on your hands won’t change the solar system and it sure as hell won’t get you a
job/wife/money. The only one benefiting out of all this jewellery is the jeweler.
We need to grow up and wake up fast,
look behind the hypnotic saffron. When they say they sense an evil soul nearby,
you now know where to look. A constant touring and traveling god
man does transcend beyond the normal range of an average human, but only in the
areas of conjuring and counterfeiting actual achievements by some rare
individuals. Agreed Indians are a wee bit religious and superstitious, but who
would believe that we give our inheritances away for the peace of those who
gave their blood and sweat for that very inheritance.
‘Selling Moksha’ is the best business that has
even been, no degrees needed. Suck it, Harvard.
Nitant, you evil soul! Perfect!

ReplyDeleteI find this piece amusing like other such scripts and when I diagnose it on my own self, I do burst into laughter on realizing the educational hierarchy of the state, "Lesser grades you score as a kid, more power you are granted with" and best part, even Stan Lee's Spiderman quote "With great power comes great responsibility" fails in this part of the world.

Man, applauds!
