A letter to the almighty
In this day and age of material possessions, is God sacred anymore or he needs these too, to bless his worshippers.
Dear God, You see, dear God, the people (your children) around me are behaving in a strange fashion each passing day. Whenever I visit your place of residence (yes, yes I know that you are everywhere but I am talking about the houses created by your children for you), I find that your image is being decorated with costly valuables. So much of the glitterati is there that I am unable to even see your face. Whenever an important festival arrives, you are offered ‘hand’ carved in gold, semi-precious and precious stones, silken robes, sweets made from the purest ghee, in short, the costliest of jewels, the finest of clothes and the tastiest of cuisines are presented to you. Your ‘house’ is also fitted with the ultra modern luxuries like AC’s. I think it gets too hot in there for you. Your children try to provide you with everything that they themselves enjoy. You have graced them with lots of moolah and that is perhaps the reason why they can do so much in return for you.
However, I am a humble human being. I am sorry but I have not yet understood why you need ACs, jewelleries, beautiful clothes, etc. I am being told by your ardent worshippers that I must sacrifice something which has monetary value. In a perplexed manner I ask them if I am standing in your house or the Bombay Stock Exchange, at which they get annoyed and sternly tell me that I should not dare to annoy you. I sincerely apologize for my sacrilegious remark. I hope you are not getting annoyed. What I can promise you is only this much that if you give me lots of wealth like you have given to others, I will ensure that there won’t be any beggar in front of your ‘house’. No child shall go to sleep on an empty stomach at least in my presence. There will be roof over the heads of them who spend their night under the bare sky and the unclothed will have something to wear.
I apologise again for I won’t be able to present anything to you. Since childhood I have been thinking that god needs nothing. Forgive me if I am wrong. I need your help in understanding your demands. Bless me and please guide me, dear God. With thanks in my heart, Your little child
