Why man still holds on to ‘god’?
Even when man is not
able to understand himself fully yet, he is preoccupied with god, a concept
created by him as if it holds the key to everything he aspires for. May be that
the infinity which he wants to achieve for himself looks like the horizon which
seems to draw back to the extent he goes forward to get hold of it, he
attributed all that aspirations which he seemingly failed to realize to this
concept of god. May be that it is the greatest of all discoveries by man, one
none can see, hear, smell, taste or feel, yet pervades all his activities, both
intellectual or otherwise.
It is one of those
constants, if not the greatest in human pursuit. It has acquired any number of
colours, concepts as one likes to have. It is so elastic to cater to any one’s
needs. That might have been the reason for ever so many religions and sects all
over and all through.
