A moderate speaks.
Hi friends,
I have been a religious moderate.
As a value system in family since my childhood, talks are
generally goody –goody when it comes to talking about faith. One never takes
close look at facts on the ground.
I think it is so because it keeps us well within our comfort
zone. It will also avoid others to point
at negatives of faith that we follow.
Can I chose to have same comfort for long and avoid speaking
what I feel is truth, though it may mean I may not appear to be a very polite
goody- goody guy?
I may, with dire consequences for my children and my grand
children.
I came across a video which very systematically describes how being a moderate we just give cover to what we really not approve. Let me post it for you.
I believe religions have outlived their useful life. Now what remains is politics of it.
I have expressed my view on individual connection with God in my poem
Enjoy this video. Thoughts very well articulated.
Please spare few minutes in silence and think, can you afford luxury of being a silent spectator?
If answer is no, what can you do?

Madness again
A bloody day again
How long will this madness go on?
How foolish it is of them
To think that mindless killings will change
Nature of human on earth.
Can it kill
Kindness
Innocence Love
And mercy in people?
**
And
how long will world avoid
looking where problem is?
Let world unite to say
“An individual’s connection with
God (call Him by any name)
Is his private matter
It is up to him how he finds and maintains
his connection
No state can have religion
No school can have religion
No place of prayer/meditation can
have religion
No funding for religion”
For purpose of religions is lost
Politics of it remains--

Living
Living
A candle
Spreads light
So others may see...
And when
Its time is over
It stops being
No demands
No expectations
No traces
Just passing through....
Some call it burning
I say it is living

A Leaf
A leaf falls.
Was it blown away by wind?
Or was tired of the tree?
Or tired of holding on?
Or was tree tired of it?
Or was wind and earth more alluring?
Does it matter?
A leaf falls.
A moment passed.
New leaf will fill the space

Real Hero, Ravindra Patil.
Real Hero
Ravindra Patil
Once a young boy from Satara
Well built, joins police force
And gets trained as a commando,
Found good to be
posted to guard a high profile film star.
Fulfilling his role as a commando,
as a police man,
as a good citizen
Rushed to police station on that dreadful night of Sept 28,
2002
When car of the star he was escorting
Ran over some people sleeping on a footpath,
He told what he witnessed,
Filed an FIR
Stood on his ground
A good commando he was
Department he worked in found him liability
Friends deserted,
Media ignored
Was brought to street
Reduced to a skeleton weighing about 30 kg
He died on Dec’23
2007
Salute to him.
A good commando he was.
