Blind Faith VS Intelligent Faith

This an interesting article that I found recently...

Almost all of the 6.5 Billions of people in the present day earth believe in God. But the irony is that most of them have a blind faith instead of an Intelligent Faith in God. God gave every human being, brain capable of deciphering intelligently the mysteries of the Universe. It is shame that most of the people on this planet earth do not use their God given brain to think of God. Instead they find an easy way out of instant gratification by listening to the traders of religions and then believing in whatever they say blindly. That means that most of us have just Blind Faith and not an Intelligent Faith in God. If we had used our brain a little bit and test every word of the those traders of any religion against the basic accepted characteristics of God Himself, we would have found the falsehood of the belief system of these Religious traders, who propagate their own created beliefs which would benefit them only, monetarily, or otherwise. So to perpetuate their hold on the common masses they keep on creating false and different belief systems and preach them as gospels in the name of the religion. That is why you will find in the world today that in any established religion of Christianity, Muslim, Hindu and other faiths, there are so many denominations. However we all agree that:

1. There is only One God, i.e. there is no separate God of Christians, Muslims, and Hindus etc. That means that God Himself has no established religion as exits today in the world.
2. God is Truth, i.e. He has been true since eternity in the past, He is true in the present and He will remain true till eternity in future.
3. God is creator of the world and only under His/Her direction, any and every thing happens in this world.
4. God is not afraid of any body, nor He creates fear in any body.
5. He is ever living, i.e. He never dies.
6. He does not go through the process of birth and death.
7. He is present throughout the universe.
8. Human being can have an access to Him only with His grace and blessings.

If any preacher or the trader of any religion preaches any thing and if it does not pass the test of the characteristics of God Himself as stated above, it falls into the category of Blind Faith, because it can never muster the test of Intelligence discussion or it can not be seen, tested in any body’s life time. A few examples commonly accepted practices and belief system falling into the Blind Faith category are:

1. Only Jesus was the Son of God. As a matter of fact all the human beings in this world are sons/daughters of God.

2. Jesus is coming back again in this world. This myth has been created/perpetuated by the traders of religion, so that the poor ignorant masses will adore, respect and fill the pockets of these traders of religion.

3. Jews are the chosen people that mean that Jews are superior to other human beings. Again this myth is perpetuated by the traders of Jewish religion.

4. Human beings can reach God only through Jesus Christ, Mohammad, or any other prophet of any religion. Any human being can reach God without the help of any other religious leader, preacher etc. Every prophet, of all the world religions, preached the presence and existence of ONE GOD and told us how to reach God by acquiring and practicing the characterists of God in our own lives. But the traders of the religions interpreted the sayings of the prophets in their own way so that it could benefit those traders and people just have the blind faith in God through those traders only. In that process the traders of all the established religions of the world are dividing the human race instead of uniting them as was originally preached of all the prophets themselves.

5. What Guru Nanak uttered was Divine Revelation. He did not claim divinity, but said, “As the Lord sends His Word, so I deliver it. “ It is this spiritual Baba Nanak – the real Baba Nanak we love and adorn. We yearn for his glimpse. He is ever with us, but visible only to a hungry eye – an eye that like beggar’s bowl waits to be filled by his grace.” Guru Nanak message of ONE GOD and Universal Brotherhood, as enshrined in Guru Granth Sahib (The Sikh scriptures, the only religious scriptures in the world, was written, sealed and delivered to the humanity in their own life) is the only hope for the humanity to unite instead of divide and its survival in the present dangerous world.

6. The most important aspect of the concept of unity of humanity lies with the idea of ONE GOD and the innate divinity in man. According to Sikh doctrine God is the creator of all things and all men, hence all men are equal. Thus nationality, race, gender or color should not lead to estrangement but to better knowledge of one another based on the principle of equality and brotherhood.

7. Unfortunately today, Sikhism, like any other world established religion, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Jewish, is a faith twisted and confused by the actions of the traders of Sikh religion. Sadly in Sikhism, “Sant Maharajs” (the so called gurus) devoid of any real religious beliefs, are abounding like frogs in monsoon. The pious Granthis who are supposed to be ideal Sikhs, no longer set profound examples of moral conduct. The semi-literate and arrogant jathedars, the power hungry management elite make tall claims but lack substance. They barter people’s interest for self-aggrandizement. What guidance can be expected from them? One laments, the moral imperatives of the faith have been infringed impairing Sikhism. Like a prairie fire, these elements have disfigured beauty of Sikhism, which indicates failure of our religious bodies.

8. The universal message of Sikhism which beamed from Darbar Sahib of Kartarpur, a mere 400 years ago and which could have given guidance to the confused masses of the other religions and could enlighten the world, today lies buried under the dark clouds of ego and self-glorification. The fiber of Sikhism is tarnished. Traditionally, the moral and psychological strength of the Sikhs depend on the strength of stability of their sanctuary. The need is therefore to restore the pristine purity and the glory of Gurdwara so that the message of Guru Nanak may be restored and spread in its past brilliance. This demands replacement of vanity with whole-hearted selfless service to humanity. The worldly possessions do not keep company with man – Baba maya sath no hoi, in main jag mohia viral bujai koi.

9. For our salvation, let us honor Guru Nanak through deed than in thought or memory. It would be the best tribute that we can pay to the Saint. To act otherwise would put hamper in our spiritual progress and enlightenment and deprive the world humanity from this precious gift of Guru Nanak’s message of ONE GOD and Universal brotherhood..
