I do. Happy Father’s Day.

Seeing the sudden rush, electricity going wild, and sudden change in the air. All I knew that it was 21st June, with a solar eclipse, I did not not it was father’s day too.

(It is hard to bear witness of what’s going on in the world. I ask heavens for a solution. )

It is not worth it, chasing these timelines and omens. Look, you are all lucky, as tens, slims, Hinds, Buddhs, Jews or whatever your religion, faith, creed may be. I say you are lucky, because it takes very little for you to believe, follow your heart and be that person. People who jump in front of bullets in the name of faith, or to save lives.

In fact, you are very lucky. I envy you all. Cause that’s normal what you are living. Guys like me… we just keep thinking, keep measuring.

It is absurd to use time, calendar, to mark something. All we know is that the distinction of days from days is just in our mind. Otherwise, it is just time flowing, passing by, taking us with it.

As believers, you are all lucky. Very lucky. Unfortunately, I’m not. I’m just born this way.

So let me tell you something, as a scientists. No religion today on earth is an absolute truth. As a scientist, what I understand now, is that supreme truth is everywhere, truth doesn’t need marketing.

Truth Doesn’t Need Marketing

Christianity does. Salam Does. All of them do. So the truth must be untouched and new. Truth must be something else then. Like silence itself. Like Atoms in this universe know it, the winds do but we don’t.

All the things of faith I told you, everyone. Were ideas. Amanat. I had to return them to everyone. My contribution may not go beyond dedication. I mean who knows, but you just can’t count on a guy you can’t count on twice.

And so doesn’t matter what religion, I see markets and shops, what to buy from them, what they sell? If all sell the same holy virtues then why do we fight each other. Especially, the truth or belief that you buy, does it come with money back guarantee? I insist religious compulsion isn’t religion at all.

The messiah that humanity seeks, will not be messiah of one cast, creed or religion, but entire humanity. I cannot rise as messiah, none of us can, cause the one he who has not ever sinned in his life, will be the promised messiah.

I am a sinner. One among many of you. I keep my mouth zipped, so if there is a little chance, no further harm must arise from my beliefs.

Saeens-dan, wigyaanic. Dream of a fusion engine. Because most of our crises and wars emerge over energy. All the issues we have today, our differences of lands, identities, are really just our excuses that keep us away from our greater goals.

You cannot imagine, that how just one successful fusion plant will change the truth of things as we know it.

I am just a man of God. Firm believer. No. Science and nature should be our foundation, every other truth that we keep quarrelling over… just replace is with one word. ‘Ancestors’. And doesn’t matter what you follow will become part of it.

Isn’t that true? That we are all the image of our ancestors? Our ideal heroes and after life saviours. In science, it becomes heartrending to hear all these noor/bashar son/man debates. A thousand different theories, none with absolute proof.

That’s why science has solid foundation. Theories tested over many times before they become law. Peer reviews. But most of all, applied and practical benefit. That one sun up there, now which religion will claim it? Our only natural skylight. Little do we thank science for light bulbs, energy savers, and even candles.

You are all so lucky, as believers, some of us have endless journeys, like ages into it and still looking for a religion, still thinking about God, trying to find his foot prints.

God Doesn’t Bleed

God is perhaps my invisible, your invisible. That is true, how can a God ever bleed? Hit me, I bleed. Hit anyone with flesh and bones. You’ll see humanity’s signature, leaking out from the veins.

If God wanted, he could have made our bodies transparent, like the Jelly fish, but he hid our blood underneath our skin. And that way God made blood sacred. So imagine all the wars.

Aren’t scientists true people of faith? Because people of faith don’t fight with each other. I see Russia fighting America, Iran fighting Saudia. And if people of same faith are fighting each other, then which faith is ever true? I don’t see scientists turn to physical violence, they are avidly fond of debates and dialogues.

Punishing faith-deserters, or even blackmailing them, and for what? Does it put five-star on the collar of any religion?

Isn’t science the best thing? They humbly say I don’t know is the best answer when they do not know. Or we’ll find out in time. Nothing supernatural is out of reach of scientists. One flying was metascience, today flying is boring, not enough legroom and jet leg complains.

If you ask me, judgement day and the great filter aren’t two different things. We must pass it. Now lunatics will tell you that all hell on earth and destruction is the only way. So yeah, I am challenging all the scriptures to say, it means something else.

What you believe essentially changes the course of your life, paves way for others sometimes. Hardworking, prayers, never go to waste. Sometimes, it takes dedication, sometimes it takes sacrifice. Sometimes both because struggle is great. But when does needless testing stop?

Look at the universe so big, humanity is pointed at the stars, ready to fly. Humanity will one day step on Mars, humanity is born to that end.

What is the doomsday prediction? Well it is easy to destroy things then build things. Isn’t it. Oh hell no, I wouldn’t be going against Bible or Quran if I was a believer. Tomorrow People. We just tend to make things happen. And for some reason, playing destopian games makes us feel good, the taste isn’t half as enticing in real life.

So let me say, I feel sorry, for the distances we travel, the distance we human beings travel for our beliefs. There have been too many sacrifices, and whose sacrifices can we deny? And sacrifice more to honor the precious sacrifices? Does the cycle ever stop? It happens across all the religions, sadly.

Do whatever, never in the name of religion. If I had that authority, I would tell everyone to leave religion today, pick those books a few hundred years from now. So when in future we will pick up the scriptures again, we will discover the reason, why we left them. Can we just leave the scriptures for no reason, and find tomorrow, what was that reason? There might be greater good in it for everyone.

I have scientific thinking. It doesn’t stop cause science will always be measuring. In science measuring is treasuring.

But no one’s atheist on a boat lost in the sea. I still hold on to these prayers. I pray to the God of light, The God of Day and Night, God of Sun and Moon, Mind and Heart.

Promote moderacy, extremism has no avail. Most of what I know is science, or that prayer. Or these words that keep singing in my heart.

Some run to God, some race to God, if you listen to your heart it’s not all that complex, trust your God, always.
