One thing common to most of the humanity, is the acceptance of Religion. I cant really say whether i am a devout religious man, but i guess i believe. I would put myself in Spiritual category so to say. But still the concept of God eluded me, until i read it somewhere.<\/p>\n
I had this question of how to understand god in currently established frameworks and i got the answer in the book called “Shantaram” by Gregory David Roberts. It is in a sense a account of his life, his escape from prison in Australia and the the entanglement with the mafia in Mumbai ( India ). It was in one of his meeting with the top boss of Mafia, a guy called Abdel Kader Khan in the book, that AKK tells him a philosophy.<\/p>\n
\nIt is sometimes referred to as Tendency towards Complexity theory. What it essentially means is that to try to understand everything, we need to look in the past. Just after the big bang, there were no atoms even, only a mixture of mass. Then neutrons, protons etc formed . Next came atoms and elements. These elements formed stars which collapsed and gave rise to heavier element. Even in history of earth , things have continued to become more complex gradually, something we also call evolution. Well perhaps it is the order of nature to move in more complex direction. And thus, there has to be an end point. The thing with Ultimate Complexity. It can be omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscience. This Ultimate Complex thing can be called God.<\/p>\n
It also gives a very short and precise answer to the question, as to how to differentiate between good and the bad. It says, anything that helps us move towards God or rather in more complex direction can be termed as Good, and anything opposing this flow of motion can be called bad.<\/p>\n
These words are imprinted on my life, until i find a better answer. Somehow it gives me a sense of calmness to know i can understand god, and i can find what good i am doing in my life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
