A Week of Miracles

The last week gone by, can be put down in history as the week of Miracales, or more appropiately the week of Mass Hysteria. On Friday evening suddenly the people of Mumbai realized that the sea water near the Mahim Creak has got sweet, resulting into people beliving it as some kinda miracle created by the Saint of the Mosque nearby. Believing the Sweet water in the Sea to be Holy water sent to them by the almighty to drink and be cured of all there diseases and problems, people flocked at the sea beach to drink and carry the sea water in bottles and containers.

On Saturday news came up of a young girl fasting in a village near Agra for 6 days to appease God and have rains in the area. Villagers got hysterical and started praying the little girl as the avtaar of a Godess herself.

And the week closed with a bang on sunday night with almost all kind of hindu God and Godess drinking milk in spoon from the devotess all over India. The News Broke out in Barely and spread like wild fire all over India.

Looking at these phenomenon, people are saying it is god's Miracle, its something beyond the explanation of science. But this whole week was a classic example of Mass Hysteria. Our mind is the most powerful force in the world. What we call God is actually our mind. Nobody is ready to look upto the fact that due to very heavy rain falls, the huge amount of sea water had been collected in the creak, niether anybody looked at the fact that the girl fasting was at the brink of her life, and still there has been no rains, Nor anybody was ready to notice all the milk they are feeding to the God's idols is bieng collected and wasted on the floor.

The masses are always in need of a Miracle, and when they can find anything remotely like a Miracle they just hang on to it dearly. Just wished that the people drinking all that polluted seawater dont fall prey to some epidemic. The people feeding (wasting) litres of milk to Gods, dont wanna give even a single litre to orphans or needy.

We love to belive on someone else, but dont wanna believe in ourself... The only people benefitting from these mircales are the priests and the News Channel... Miracle - Bileve it or Not
