THE OMNIPOTENT 1

Everybody wants to be independent, no? I too am not an exception. Though total independence is only a mirage I can opt for the next best , I mean , self sufficiency, which is attainable depending on your needs.so it is for this goal that I sacrificed most of my time and energy in the last three decades and now only in my twilight years can I claim to have reached that goal , considering my limited needs of food,shelter,transportation and my hobbies. Now I can aspire for greater heights in my quest for ultimate independence. but the question is independence from what or whom? you can try to be independent from your relatives , friends , society , even from your wife but ultimately can you be independent from yourself? By yourself can mean your body , mind and ego. I mean whether there is an ‘I’ apart from the above mentioned .Highly improbable. Another thing which hinders me from this so called independence is my personal god to whom I am so much dependent to the extent that it can be termed an addiction or a habituation which ever way you may put it.Then you may ask me whether you believe that god exists and my immediate reply will be a strong no with a capital N.THEN WHY THIS HIPPOCRISY YOU MAY DOUBT. But I don’t have any doubt to say that I am saying the truth and nothing but the truth. I strongly believe that god doesn’t exist, but still I believe in god. Now I hope you have got my point. Belief in god doesn’t mean god has to exist,it is only a belief in a non- existent thing and that’s called faith and when there are many fools grouped together in a customized faith you can even call it a religion.
