The
sun created the earth and life from its womb; it parented the saplings, enabled
it to stand on its own leg, ensured its well-being by guiding it to a
harmonious orbit and ordained its fruitful destiny for billions of years. More
than any god we have been told about, the sun has been very kind to us. It kept
us at an optimum distance so that adequate but not more energy (unlike
the other distant frozen planets, the earth is warm but not scorching like the
smaller ones nearer to the sun) reaches the earth , its size has been made
optimum so that there is an atmosphere with hydrogen, oxygen,
water vapor and an abundance of elements which later, using the energy
supplied by the parent, caused the evolution of life. The
unicellular organisms evolved with the warmth supplied by the sun and
diversified into myriad life-forms and the earth is now the home of a very
advanced civilization. The sun has loved us beyond even the wildest fantasy of any
god or goddess.
Gods are found only in the thinking of man or in the books written by those who
lived long back and who never understood the workings of nature and the solar
system, let alone this infinite universe. There is no tangible evidence of any
good thing done by any god so far. Man’s quest for
immortality, his helplessness before death makes him continue with such beliefs although they are products of his own imagination. That could be the reason why a good percentage of the world population does not believe in any god any more. There is
no need to believe in the sun (you believe something which is not there); you understand him, he is so very real, concrete, living and the true
cause of every breath you take.
The sun is tangible, all-powerful, and it lives almost eternal-for more than 7 billion years! He made the
earth, the sky, created day, night, light, all living things and each one of
us. He is not an angry god like the Bible god who punishes its creations, but a
benevolent one who gives out everything he has. He is
sacrificing his life and will end up as soon as his energy reserves are burnt
up to keep us alive.
In Hinduism, Surya (sun) is worshiped as a god and I do feel man is obliged to sun and sun alone for his life on this planet. When we die we will merge into the energy that makes the sun burn and shine for billions of years.
