God finds us funny - Economic Times

My God is a happy God. He laughs with amusement at our deeds and with indulgence at our conceits. Sometimes, perhaps, He is mildly surprised at what we can do both above and below His expectation. But He is never angry. He has no call to be. By our misdeeds, we do not threaten Him, we threaten ourselves. And, probably make Him chuckle at our sense of self-importance and pomposity.

My God is perhaps amused that we mistake our state of mind for His, transfer our emotions to Him and even assign Him a gender and, often, a form. We give Him myriad names and treat these names, thought up by us, as being special. He is amused that we act scared when we risk his anger in our imagination. He is perhaps amused when we jump to defend Him, when nothing any of us can do can harm Him even one little bit.

There are few women and men who speak of God as He would want us to speak of Him. These rare ones have tasted this Oneness in full measure. Though religions and rituals may have formed around them, these Masters are beyond religion and rituals. The smile of God is reflected in their own smile. When we are in tune with them, we can feel some of their great joy inside ourselves. And, if this is what happens to us when we get only a second-hand glimpse of God, imagine how happy He must be.

Yes, my God is a happy God. I do not fear the wrath of God. For, ultimately, it is not God who will critically judge my actions. It is my own Self. The Link Lonk
