All
this hype about the saint made me ponder that though we may not know whether
the charges against him are valid or false or whether he is just being framed
into some allegations, all this comes later, the major disaster is the
foolishness of mass. On one hand, we say that let the law do the justice, on
the other such huge mass gathering just to make sure that the saint is safe
shows that we are taking the charge of the law. What
is the need of courts then?
Calling this act as a Blind Faith or
a True Devotion is a very tender topic to debate upon. To the
person who has seen the worst days, someone coming up and give him a new,
meaningful life- he will, of course, be a messenger or a guardian to him. But
the question is, can
we give any humanly figure on this earth a place of supremacy? Though
not clearly asserted, the act of people clearly shows that to them the saint
has no position less than a GOD. Now talking about GOD, it is again a
controversial topic. Some are atheist, some are believers while others are
agnostic, but if your belief takes you to the right path, causes you to be
altruistic or if not that teaches you to at least stay indifferent and not
cause harm to any other living creature by any means, may be physical,
sentimental or emotional, then you are much better than all those
followers who are ready to kill somebody for a saint.
Going to the religious side, if we talk
about Sikhism- It has been clearly asserted by the last Sikh guru that after
all the 10 gurus the last guru to them will be Guru Granth Sahib, no other
saint, guru or sage is to be followed or given place of GOD: yet we see many
people from the Sikh community following saints. This act really raises a
question on the existence of Sikhism. I know this is a very strong
assertion, but it is an undeniable fact. Well, actually it is not just a
community, a huge sect of people from other religions also does the same.
Can you think of what kind of chaos can this mass gathering
can lead to?
If the decision goes on the side of the
saint, the huge gathering's gonna celebrate. If not the gathering will be
grumbled.Either way will lead to a jam in the city. Now think of some cases as, what
if the mass really damages the government properties which also include
hospitals and colleges. What if someone is in a critical situation and
needs an access to hospital as soon as possible but all that chaos is delaying
it or in the worst case scenario, that person dies- who will be responsible?- Government, saint or
public.
Also thinking of the situation a bit
meticulously, what if some unfortunate incident like a rape case or a
murder occurred in the houses who are at present shouting out that 'someone
who touches the saint has to first go through them', will those still be
supporting?
The fact is, let the law do its job.
Around 1 lakh people have gathered, the strength is huge. I wonder are people
so free or it is that their whole world revolves around the saints. No matter
even if someone helps you in your darkest times, we still cannot exonerate anybody
who is being accused of so many allegations. Abetting someone is a bigger
crime. Afterall, saints though learned, are also humans and humans
are bound to make mistakes. Creating a havoc and passing threatening statements
is no less a crime than terrorism.
As I always believe, no other religion is
greater than humanity, hence our acts should be such which are in favor of
mankind at large. Sacrificing thousands for the sake of one is not
an act of literate people.
