As you know like so many others my family is also at home. School of kids and college of hubby will open in 1st June hopefully .
We are having nice time together .I try not to supervise everything about kids but i ask them to keep studying at least four hours a day with little breaks .It will keep them ready for exams that will take place in June .
I don't know i mentioned it or not before but i have an annoying habit . Because it is in my nature i do it inevitably and often .
What is it ?
I start lecturing them about morality and try to convince them how important it is to be an honest and truthful person. I many times in a day try to tell them that there someone exist whom different people of this world call by different names ,God ,Allah and so on and on........
Last night when i was saying my teenager that he must be careful about his videos watching as though we might not be around but God is always with and within him to witness what is he watching or what is he thinking.
My younger one who had tablet in his hand suddenly sat beside me on sofa and asked ,
WHO IS GOD AND HOW mean HOW DO I EVEN KNOW HE EXIST ?
I had to reply him quickly so he cannot doubt on my words.I did so miraculously . I don't know how but without wasting a second and without hesitation i replied to him ,
HE IS ENERGY , A HUGE ENORMOUS BUNDLE OF ENERGY , everything including us is part of him . Everything is circulating around him or towards him . We cannot see him though we are surrounded by him and we are floating within him .
When we start to think about him or try to connect with him ,he and his energy start to absorb in us . We get better and better as human each day and his strength adds into our energies and make us stronger .
As particles of this huge energy we have to travel towards our origin (him) intentionally because this makes us what we are now and will make what we will be in our next existence.
Who travel towards him with honesty and without being polluted by vicious characteristics like lie, cheating ,amorality, he accepts them aback as his own part because while they were away they tried to exist successfully means harmlessly .
Who travel opposite and think there is no one to answer for what bad they do in life fearlessly ,they loose their track and get themselves lost in dirt of low life. They are not accepted and well come by him and , remain lost within fragile ashes of universe as negative energies . No matter how powerful they think they are but their powers stands nowhere when it comes to confront with true and eternal power of God!
I told him what i believe and what i have learnt during fifty years of my life . My belief formed through my experiences and observations and little bit knowledge of life i could learn til this day. I believe that if each particle of energy (we) makes harmony with another with an absolute honesty there will be no need of cleverness or weapons to run this .
We create our heaven and hell with our own attitude and actions. If we are free of all dark and negative thoughts our conscience is light and free . I believe that Lord guard such spirits himself as he has promised .He worth trust so we should trust his wisdom instead our wickedness .
And if are such people we will surely create beautiful world around us and will make harmony to our coexistent with love and peace without any stupid claim of superiority as we know there is no such thing like race created by Lord but only man made rubbish.
Roaming straight to our origin can not cause any kind of trouble or destruction to world and life can be worth living for all equally!
If this is naive thing to say then we should think what our cleverness have done to our world already ?
I think maybe that was God speaking through you!
ReplyDeleteI am sure you have passed on your good values to your kids, it is sure.
ReplyDeleteYour young son asked the age-old question that people have asked since time began!
ReplyDeleteYou handle that answer so beautifully! I am already thinking what I'm going to say about God when my son starts to ask questions. I want him to know there are many religions and names for God and we all our brothers and sisters in faith.We already took him to church of course, but not now, cos we are staying home all the time. But he can already put his hands together, when I say Amen, so cute☺ Stay safe and healthy everyone!
ReplyDeleteYour last sentence is earth-shaking. Look at our world. How can anyone trust in our cleverness?
ReplyDelete"Who travel opposite and think there is no one to answer for what bad they do in life fearlessly ,they loose their track and get themselves lost in dirt of low life. They are not accepted and well come by him and , remain lost within fragile ashes of universe as negative energies ."
But...they can be redeemed.
It is not easy to answer those age old questions!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful explanation to your son, Baili. I was so taken by what you said in so much of this post, especially "We create our heaven and hell with our own attitude and actions..." especially now when the entire world is in crisis, people would do well to remember that positive thoughts are more helpful than dark/doomsday ones. I hope your son understood your wise counsel. I know I did, my blog friend. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWell done with your answer to your son, and like Christine, I feel sure that you have passed on your good values to all of your children.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you.
All the best Jan
Indeed what has our cleverness, selfishness done to this world today! Maybe it's our way of finding out right now..
ReplyDeletevery good answers, I don't see God as a figure but as a power/a force and I think your description of how we are particles of that force is excellent
ReplyDeleteDearest Baili...I am almost lost for words. This beautiful post so eloquently expresses exactly how I also perceive our God, Allah, or whatever name we know Him by! Your words ring with utter truth...and I totally agree that we only have to look around ourselves to see what our so-called "cleverness" has done to our beautiful world!
ReplyDeleteRace, skin colour, creed, all those things people fight over to try to make themselves feel superior over others...mean nothing at all to our Creator. They are just man-made trappings. Mere delusion.
We are Children of God...every one of us...and I honestly believe that a huge lesson of life is to understand that truth and to journey back to God hand-in-hand with our fellow man.
And your wonderful illustration expresses this so clearly...😊😊
Baili, you are amazing!!!
Take good care of yourself, and stay safe!
All my love and hugs ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Baili, I think that your answer to your son was BRILLIANT and true. Though you and I call our God different names, to me it's all energy, all what we make of life. Lovely uplifting post! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your answer - for me that wonderful explosion of light, color, rays, is total energy - infinite intelligence, nothing personalized until we recognize it within our own selves and radiate our energy and light and love to all around us...and most of all forgive all peoples because that's the only way this world will survive - at least "our version" of it but it will become a happy dream not one filled with killer viruses.... Love how you expressed yourself. I for one do NOT believe this infinite intelligent energy would ever create anything to kill us. We do that all by ourselves.
ReplyDeleteThese days make everybody doubt about the presence of a supreme being.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
Hi, thanks for visiting my blog. I too hope the situation will not last too long.
ReplyDeleteAbout you lecturing the kids, why not teach them about spirituality instead of religion? Religion and gods only starts wars among people. :( Religion is manmade, spirituality is in our brains, we are born with it.
Just a thought. May you and your family stay healthy.
Ter fé é uma bênção. Isso faz de você uma pessoa melhor com certeza.
ReplyDeleteUma boa semana cheia de saúde.
Um beijo.
Hello dear Baili, thank you for the beautiful and very important post. These are questions every one of us thinks, sooner or later. We (Lutherans) believe God is not merely a non-personal force or energy. He has created "heaven and earth" and cares about us personally. :) God loves us and we must love our neighbour like ourselves... not that it would be always easy. :D
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings. Stay safe and healthy!
Sweet Bailey thank you for sharing your lovely thoughts about God...I believe that God is love and that He sent his one and only Son Jesus to be the sacrifice for all sins...whosoever believes in Him shall never die but live forever. When we accept Him as our Lord and Savior, God's Holy Spirit comes to live in us and guide us and teach us what is His Truth. Take care and stay safe dear one. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteYou set a wonderful example to your children with your own kind behaviour. They learn good things from you!
ReplyDeleteI could truly relate to your response and thought your response was perfect. I know that many are worried about things going on in the world, but I try to have faith that God is always around, loving us, protecting us and healing us. Thanks for your post, and glad that you and your family are doing well. RO
