God – an Individual or a Designation?

Administration

We know of the God-trio: Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva (Please append “Lord” ahead of each of their names incase they are particular about it :) ). Then we have lord Indra, Surya, etc etc. According to Indian philosophy, we have 3 crores, 33 lakhs, 33 thousands, 3 hundred and thirty 3. If we follow the structure of each Gods positioning in Heaven, Hell (are their Gods here in form of demons?), we will know it’s another governance system like our present government, lead by President, Prime Minister, Chief Ministers, Governors, etc. etc.

After having said all this said, on our other hand we have our mind-blowing mythology (I call it mind-blowing, because we truly don’t know how magnificent is our past, Mythology, Vedas, Upanishads, etc.) which say God is one. Aham Brahmasmi (I am God), Ekonaam Bahusyaami (One God called by different names), Sahasrasheersha Purusha, Sahasraaksha….. Here it gets perplexing. One end we say, there are crores of Gods. At another front we say God is one. Maybe we are not aware of things in complete perspective. One of the simple reasons being, we do not know our past.

It is said, give importance to the chair one holds even if you do not have any regard for the individual sitting on it. Respect an individual because of the designation he/she holds, if not the individual, at a personal level.

Thus, clubbing our earlier observations, if we fix God as designation, we always have a Supreme God (President) and the subsequent designations that follow it. This position of Supreme God can always be taken by any of the present ‘individuals’ and he becomes He. Implying there is only one God. Earlier Sri Rama took this seat, then was taken by Sri Krishna, Lord Buddha and so on. Thus we understand, Messaih, Allah, Christ, Rama all sat on the same throne and professed same principles. But man got caught with the person on the post than the post as it is happening in our country. We still talk about Atal Bihari Vajpayee, P V Narasimha Rao. But when it comes to all legal documentation, more valid is the designation ‘President of India has approved of Nuclear Deal’. Now if these different ‘individuals’ on the post of God have created hatred among masses, then these ‘individuals’ (idols – as they are talked about in their absentia) are anti-social elements.

Now imagine attrition in this administration. Even this aspect can be imagined and thought of, Privileges that one attains by claiming a particular post - recognition, responsibility. One example can be Person A was writing what an individual is doing on earth (post Chitragupta). From now on ‘A’ will be our Brahma (I mean post Brahma) where he will start writing what a person is expected to do on earth. The difference in these columns (of expected behaviour of a individual to the actual behaviour of the individual) is the difference in Karma that one has performed.

Retirement Plan

But one thing that is a dilemma is whether there is any retirement age for these posts? If yes, then what happens to the post-holders after retirement? The population of their village too would be increasing. Paapam, they don’t even have an option of dying! Do they have any retirement plan? Is there an option of Voluntary Retirement? I doubt. Or is there no concept of retirement?

Now that we have some idea about the administrative structure, let’s move to their creation – MAN. Ofcourse, I am not taking away any credit from them for their creation of remaining 3 crores, 33 lakhs, 33 thousands, 3 hundred and thirty 2.

Documentation

But one think that must be accepted is that there is no proper documentator within their organization. The Dos and Donts of Man should be a available as Rule-book or Instructions, for everyone and anyone whenever man needs to know at any time and any where. Like how we have ‘Help’ documentation for online available softwares and tools. But unfortunately, in this creation, there is no such documentation. Safely and cleverly, the administration passed this baton to MAN. “Boss, you document from your own experience and pass on your knowledge to others”. With this order, it was an obvious that there would be correct documentation and incorrect documentation. Now who was to validate these texts? God Himself had/has to do that. Vedas, Upanishads are the approved ones whereas Novels are rejected ones :)

After the above texts are authorized, many read it, another aspect we hear is that the documentation lies within you. You are the creator, you have the complete knowledge. So find it and you would know about it. But now the ‘bridge gap’ is in knowing how to access these hidden folders within, so that we get the knowledge (or should I say wisdom). The whole jugglery in life and the concept of Sages, Saints, Gods coming on earth is to let us know about this ‘path’ (do I mean ‘address bar’? in Windows Explorer) to these hidden folders. Yeah, we know, in command prompt, you need to know the complete path with the folder name; else you do not have access to them especially if they are hidden. The UI for these folders are these Sages, Saints, Gods, etc. who advent on earth with a certain validity period, after which their license expires and are back into their abode.

Say, we are shown the correct ‘path’ and we do reach the hidden folders, texts, visuals (‘In Mahabharata, Vishwaroopa Darshans’), audio files (remember ‘Akaashvaani’), etc. From now onwards, we learn these lessons and imbibe the teachings, and thus we become the all knowing. All-knowing meaning, one who knows the path to the hidden folders, texts, materials available within them and have also imbibed them. So far so good. Thus, we have knowledge which is same as the ones who came down to earth (Sages, Saints, Gods, etc.) to teach them earlier. Thus we become God. In other words, these are few designations (Technical Officers) who are sent by the Developers to the Client to help them out with these little little issues. Pre-requisite for the client is to understand what the sent Technical Officers convey or want to convey. Gods had Sanskrit as the mother tongue. But, these Technical Officers have improved their versatility over a period of time by becoming multi-lingual. Apart from that – MAN, also has been bestowed with ‘Language Tools’ to overcome these linguistic troubles. To put it, Client-side browser is upgraded (with upgraded Java Engine V8) to handle heavy processing and improve the overall performance of the transmitted data.

Maintenance Plans

There are these periodic reviews on the progress with a threshold limit for defects. Whenever there is heavy loses (in their stock market), the higher decide to take up the Annual (‘annual’ term as defined by them) Maintenance Plan. There is restarting of Servers when the whole world is stopped for a brief period of time. Before Restart, it is made sure that all the connections are handled, that’s when the follow-up of the clients is taken up. Multiple officers (Sages, Saints, who knows maybe even Gods) are sent to this Client, where they try to finish up with connections so that no data is lost, and backups are taken…After this a new Yuga starts.

Interestingly, this client wants to know its vendor’s other clients (Possibly, the other clients too might be in this pursuit). Mars Rover, is one such endeavour. This search for life on other rocks (called planets) has been going on, and is on. Not that the vendor is not aware of it, but they may not get panicky until we catch their other clients and compare our performances with them.

In conclusion, we have a group of developers who continuously are working for this site called Earth, buzy creating multiple projects (species) as experiments…and if it was anywhere closer to Google then surely Man was part of that weekly one hour project! :)
