Faith is the First Step

Faith is the First Step

The first step to live with God is to have indomitable faith in His existence. Religion starts with faith. It is almost like believing a geography book which presents details of any unseen city of the world but once you believe in the situation of that particular city. You need a teacher, a map to know the root. Your seers provide us with the road maps of the scriptures along with experiences of enlightened soul. It is up to the willful description of the travelers whether he/she yearns to reach the destination or not. To live with God means to start the journey right now with adamant faith carrying proper compass. But it is not as easy as it sounds to be. Journey is very hard because of our misleading propensities to be more categorical we can see these four basic misleading propensities.

1.     Leading us from pain to pain

2.     Leading us from pleasure to pain

3.     Leading us from pain to pleasure

4.     Leading us from pleasure to pleasure

1.     Leading from pain to pain: Suppose you consume a lot of bitter alcohol in the night. It was painful at the time of consuming. The consequences – headache, dysentery, liver cirrhosis etc. – are also painful. Chewing chilly is burning and the result is the pain in the toilet. Diarrhea next morning is also painful.     

2.     Leading from pleasure to pain: suppose we catch a train without buying tickets and comfortably sit in a first class compartment. It is a pleasure but the moment ticket checker comes and orders to arrest us. The pleasure turns into pain in a jiffy.

3.     Leading us from pain to pleasure: A political leader when moves from door to door during elections, his toils are painful but after winning the election the holding the chair of a minister is pleasant. The craze for worldly possession is falls under the propensities mentioned above.

4.     Leading us from pleasure to pleasure: The final propensity which leads a man from pleasure to pleasure is the urge to follow the path of righteousness. It is a pleasure to walk along the path of divinity and the consequence – to be blessed with having a blissful place in the heavens – is unimaginably exoteric. It’s an eternal fact that the quest of happiness by trying to quench the thirst of our sense organs, whereas the thirst is unquenchable. The more you drink the thirstier you are. Such is the nature of our sensuous organs.

As mentioned somewhere above even the birds cannot soar higher in the firmament without having proper atmosphere. The black trap of the Satan, the embodiment of sins is so dangerous that anybody can easily be entrapped.

No any religion can recommend to live in voluptuously polluted climate. The climate which can stimulate your sensuousness/sensuality or instigate you to commit a crime of any kind is a devastating domain of Satan. It can take us away from the God to the world of sins. The ways slippery and a little inattentiveness can make us fall into the abyss of turbulent vices. It is not a recommendable to be indulged in verbal attacks or counter attacks about a religion. It is wise to smile away the arguments of uninquisitive nincompoops whose thoughts are impossible to be changed. It can save your time and energy. These impious siblings of satanic force can snatch your god from you. The flickering light faith can easily be extinguished by the storm of worldly lusts. To save our faith in the God, thus, we need divine help and assistance.
