Of all the creatures on the planet, it’s only humans that need, search, pray & try to find god

No other animal does

And We have homes, places specifically made to live comfortably

They do not.

They live wherever they find a place.. on a tree, on a roof, in a cave, anywhere

Still, we have temples, mosques, churches, places made specifically to search for god.

With some shapes made of sand & clay & paint.. hanging or sitting or resting.

Sometimes it’s just a blanket or shawl lying on top of one another,

Sometimes it’s not even that just a particular direction which again in a faraway land contains a square structure made of stone, marble, sand, etc.

And We try to appeal to the God whom we haven’t found through them.

We fight & get crushed & push just to touch them

We do all feats imaginable to the extent of self-torture to appeal to them

We even try to trade with them.. offering them paper & shining stones in exchange for something which we want. knowing fully well that the structure or carved stone or blanket or direction wouldn’t be able to give that to us like we would be able to give the paper & shining stone to it through our hands.

Quite complicated & chaotic.

Other creatures on the planet never bother about all these things…

They eat, sleep, roam around, sing & be merry

Sometimes they come to our such places as well without bothering to know which place belongs to which class of humans & what is the requirement to enter them.. like cloth, wine, candle, flower, smelling stick.

They come when they wish & do what they want & go when they want.

We want to find god.. we want to create god

They just don’t care

We want to find meaning in life

They live life

We need relationships

They just have friends

We seek permanency

They don’t bother

Just live moment to moment

We worry about tomorrow, ponder over the past

They live today neither slow nor fast

It’s time to realize what went wrong

It’s time to realize the original song

We are all one family

One specie

One community

We are the gods we are praying to & the prayer as well

We are living the life whose meaning we are searching for like hell

We are life.

And Life is the only God that is there!
