DO YOU BELIEVE IN GOD? THE ANSWER MUST BE NO


Most of the population in the world may not disagree the existence of God. However, the  vision of God is not a uniform one. People shape 'their God' according to the teachings of the respective religions they belong to. All those who believe in God must have some common concepts like God is the creator of everything, He is the all powerful One, He is full of love etc. With all these built-in or acquired concepts, however, one may not believe in the Supreme One. Belief or faith is a plugged-in cord between man and cord. Whoever holds this faith may be able to do wonders in this world.

According to Hinduism the fundamental perception or image of God is Tatvamasi. It means, tat - you, tvam - God and asi - are.  "You are God" must be the most considerate theory. The whole world, rather universe which include you and me makes God. When one see himself in God he gets himself plugged into the all powerful One. When I am God, I have power of God too. When it is so, how many are there who can fully believe in this and act as God? Truly speaking, not even a single one.

In Christianity it is the word of Christ that reveals the link between man and God. It is well defined here. " ... if you will have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'move from here to there', and it shall move. And nothing will be impossible for you." (Mathew 17:19). It says that if one has even very little faith nothing will be impossible for him. But, the so-called faithful around the world cannot even turn a dry leaf upside down.  The Bible further says that faith is not acquired but gifted. "For by grace,  you have been saved through faith. And this is not of yourselves, for it is a gift of God." (Eph 2:8). That must be the reason for Jesus to say  " ... Yet truly, when the Son of Man returns , do you think that he will find faith on earth?" (Luke 18:8).

At least, as a whole, it can be construed that faith in God may be one of the most scarce one among humans.

DO WE NEED TRADE UNIONS ANY MORE?

Image
Finally the communist government have forced to impose curbs on the Trade Unions in the state to mitigate the unbearable actions taken by them. Trade Unions have come into being when employees were put on hardships by the employers. The time have been changed since then. Now it is our own government and our own laws. All safety, security and welfare measures are ensured for the employee of all types. No third party is now required to safeguard justice for employees. Appropriate forums are established for employees to register their complaints either singularly or jointly. Therefore, as far as employees are concerned, they do not need any assistance from Trade Unions today. Trade Unions are now functioning as power centres of political parties. If the government is willing to stand with the people, then they can ban all Trade Unions activities in the state/country. Trade Unions today make negative contributions to the economy of the state and the country as a whole. Infact t
