God is Love

             The term may be a cliché!It is usually found in all the religions. God is of course love. One can witness god during his exhibition of love to others. 

“Love your neighbour as you love yourself” quotes the Holy Bible. Loving others helps us reach the boons of Almighty. Serving others helps man ascend heaven according to Hindu philosophy.

I am gifted with three apples. One is for my kith and kin. Another one is for the needy. The final one is for me. This beautiful distribution is a divine order of the Holy Quran. Isn't this so beautiful? This shows religions demand love from humanity's.

I am reminded of Prahalad, the son of Hiranyakashyapu, when I speak about miracles. He was going against his father's wish of abandoning the prayers to Lord Vishnu. His father turned furious and planned to leave him under an intoxicated Jumbo’s foot. To surprise everyone, it did bow down to him. It is because Prahalad uttered Vishnu Nama always.

Are not we familiar with the story of Francis of Assisi? The saint who with the blessings of almighty preached to the birds. He, with the blessings, befriended a wolf and reformed cruel wolf. The wolf was earlier thretening the villagers became a tamed beast.

All these religious characters bring into my mind one of Shaw’s characters. He is Androcles, who escaped from Rome to a forest. He was once in a service of relieving a lion of its pain. He was punished for his escape from his service. He was offered as a meal to a starving lion. The incident surprised the spectators at the Parthenon.  The lion gratified him by sans eating him for his past service. He nursed the wounds in its paw.

If the religious characters are equated to Androcles, the situations seem to be same. The celestial blessings of the Fathers are responsible for the miracle in formers' lives. While it is Love in the latter’s miracle. From this, it is vivid to deduce that God is Love. Or God would help people who love other creations of his and karma too does the same.
