NOTHING WRONG WITH IDOLS AND IDOLATORS

My son,
If God is God,

Both negative and positive are in God.
As the same God

Both devil and God are in him,
As the same God.

My son,
If it is not easy for any (relative) to reach God (the absolute),
Or to have a feel of reaching God,
Even though God is everywhere near,
In and around any and all,

Then, please know, my son,
It is for God (the absolute) very easy to reach you,
The way you imagine about him,
The place where you want him to be.

My son,
God is there where you imagine for him.
God is there in the way you imagine about him.
God is in all the forms and expressions
You, helplessly or helpfully, want him to be in.

My son,
Don’t be so eager to attribute an allegation on God
To say that God can’t reach Everyone everywhere.

So, my son,
In idols too….

Idols are just like any name you give to God.
Just some other form of expression about God
With some other means than language.

My son,
Even the names given to God,
As “God” or “almighty” or “merciful”
Are idols/symbols made in and with letters in languages.

Those are the means or efforts of
Addressing or understanding God,
Done helplessly or helpfully,
To express with certain attributes or qualities.

My son,
Names are expression with letters,
Idols are expression with elements/materials
And paintings are expression with colors

Names are shaped with letters,
Idols are shaped with materials
And pictures shaped with colors.

All, helplessly or helpfully,
With knowledge or ignorance,
To give the same meaning.

All to mean the same God.

All equally to qualify,
Or to detail or express
One or other quality or aspect of God,

As per one’s own imagination
Of and about God.

My son,
God can be put in any other form as well,
If he can be put in forms of names,
To detail his qualities
Or to have feel of getting in touch of him
Or to address him.

God can be put in colors as well,
If he can be put in letters.

My son,
As per all your religions,
Well-accepted it is
That God is omnipresent.

Then why, my son,
He can’t reach and be present
In the idols too?

Does or will God need to deny him to you
Just because you want him to be seen
The way you can imagine about him,
Helpfully or helplessly,
With knowledge or ignorance?

Rather, My son,
Won’t God love
Such all small efforts and its creations
Made out of your helpfulness of helplessness.

My son,
At least, who will say or claim that
Such your imaginations and innovations
Make loss or damage to God?

My son,
If God can be heard through his words
Of languages of our talk,
As, said to be, Qur’an or bible is claimed to be,
Then why can’t he be seen and viewed
In the forms we see and understand?

If he can be heard,
It is equally believable,
He can be seen as well.

If he can be put in names
It is equally believable that
He can be put in forms of idols as well.

Words and names are just symbols
Like Idols.

Idols also are, and for, the same.

To attribute or express
Certain qualities of one’s imagination,
Which is done same way by the names as well.

My son,
If god is the one who is
Undefined and unconfined,
And who cannot be defined and confined as well,
That should mean that
He can be in and with all forms and names
Without limiting him to be
Only in any particular form and name
Or formless or nameless state.

My son,
It is not God who cannot tolerate and accommodate,
It is not God, who cannot reach all,
It is not God, who needs everyone’s support,
It is not God, who will ask everyone,
To reach him to support him,
That too, in and through one and only
Way and direction.
In and through one and only language and place.
Giving a meaning that he is a confined one.

My son,
It is such a concept of confined God
Makes you also to be intolerant and extremistic
And ask you to see God only
In certain direction and places
Through and with only certain languages.

My son,
It is just because of frustration they feel
In winning with the concept of confined God,
They happen to be intolerant and extremistic.
Or it is just because they want everyone else
To be confined like their God is
In such their concepts and beliefs.

My son,
Don’t ever try to see God,
Even if you try, you can’t see God,
As the one so much concerned of himself
As to how he is taken or believed
Or is he taken as one or many
Or whether he is approached
Directly or indirectly.

My son,
Any one with frustration is a devil.

Even if he is God,
In frustration (relatively),
He is a devil.

So, is such a God becoming
Intolerant and extremistic an entity.
Negatively relative and relatively negative
Giving and giving revelations of
Negative messages.

My son,
Relatively negative side or aspect of God is
What a devil is.

My son,
Any God that preaches intolerance and extremism
Is Devil only,
But viewed, by those, as God.

The inspiration they get is thereby
The inspiration of negative God, Devil.

My son,
Defined and confined means relative.
So, the devil.
With faces and directions.

My son,
Undefined and unconfined is absolute,

So God.

Neither seen only as only one or only many.

One and many in the meantime.

Neither in one nor in many.

Neither defined nor confined by numbers.

And no one other than him to number him.

So, my son,
Without faces and directions
But with all the faces and directions.

All faces and forms are his
Whereas no particular face or form only is his.

My son,
When God is confined into
One religion and one language,
Defined only as this and that,
Insisting that, through no other language
Can he be addressed,
And through no other direction
Can he be accessed,
Such a God becomes a confined one, devil.

My son,
Anyone confined and narrowed is a devil,
At least in effect,
Though God (in absolute) do not make any change in himself.

My son,
That is the reason, in effect and result,
Any one happening to mistake and thereby believe
In such a confined and defined God,
(Insisting to be true in only one language and religion)
Is also becoming extremistic and intolerant.

And any one with frustration (devilish/negative) will easily tend to be
Extremistic and intolerant, without help.
