I am sorry have to disagree with you there. While the parents are worth honoring throughout your life, and you should always look after them, your parents cannot substitute God. Irrespective of whatever religion you follow, God is supposed to be all-forgiving, always Good, and cannot be compared to human beings in terms of grace.
I am sure your parents are nice and you love them. But what about a child who grows up in a broken home? In an orphanage...who has a parent who abuses. A girl raped by her father? These are real world problems. Surely God has to be GREATER than such vile persons.
I agree with you on the example you provided- The onus is on the parents to bring up another life to love and believe in the divine- So it starts with that- Does not mean you dont believe in the divine...Not at all!
“
Matha Pitha Guru Deivam” is a very popular adage or phrase in
Sanskrit language and often quoted in
Hinduism. Transalated word for word, it is, “Mother Father Teacher God”. The meaning of this adage is the greatest truth, and is the order in which one should offer reverence. The phrase is a basic tenet in existence from the time of the
Vedas and beyond and represents the hierarchy in which one should respect these entities.
First comes the mother (
Matha or
Mata) who gives birth to the child, thereby bringing us as a child into this world. Next comes the father (
Pitha or
Pita), because it is the mother who knows the truth about the father and she points us to the father. The mother and father then takes us to the teacher (
Guru), and it is the guru, through his or her teachings, points us to God (
Deivam or
Devam). Here God represent the consciousness or self-awareness or our real self.
But yes Tamils and Keralites have been the least bothered with if I am a Muslim or not.
I totally agree- Infact you can add Andhraites to this list as well.
As far as the individual relationship goes, I agree with what you say, hatred is always directed towards the unknown, mythical Muslim. Most of my school friends are hardcore Sanghis now (roll eyes I know) and hate Muslims with a passion, but not me, because as they "I am different, not like the other Muslims". Whatever that means, more likely a method to satisfy their conscience.
I blame the upbringing here- Its not enough to just show values to your kids- Its very important to respect a Human first- Doing Pooja daily or Namaz 5 times a day does not make you a good Hindu or Muslim- Follow the principles and the good that is taught in both the religions-Use common sense and follow what your conscience says is right!- I know its easier said than done- Religion studies in schools should be banned in my opinion- (Example- painting Muslim invaders in the wrong way- I dont mind paining the invaders the wrong way-but to align them to a religion is wrong, thats not what the Quoran preaches-disclaimer: I have not read the Quoran, correct me if I am wrong)
Those fuckers chose Pakistan in 47 and now their generations are paying the price......
Economic conditions or whatever conditions they were in at that time-We dont know the reason also could be they believed in what Jinnah said which I am positive he meant it by the way- Jinnah was very progessive in my opinion, would have made a very good PM for India in 1947.- We fuckers chose Nehru and see where we are now.
PS: If Jinnah was the 1st PM of free India-These RSS/Shiv Sena clowns would have been decimated once and for all- All we got in return was Assasination of Gandhi and the mess they are creating in todays India.
