when i was young , not that i am old now, but still when i was younger i used to think that why i believe in one God so ardently, i mean the promise of heaven was not such an attraction for me nor was the hell so scary that i would base my belief system on just that...... then why ? as i grew older and i would want to say wiser , just wondering at this question was not enough i had to find the answer and i think i now know that the actual reason is that there is no other truth than the oneness of god in this world. i mean i will not bore you with scientific and religious or philosophical logic to prove my point. i would just say that for me there is no other truth more overpowering and clear than this. and it shows in every place and every community and every religion. all of us from different religions think we believe in different ideologies and belief systems and yet in our differences we have oneness. we think that the people before us were different or the ones coming ahead will be unlike us but the social patterns of history claim violently the oneness , the uniformity in humans. we boast our selves of the casts, creed , nations and communities that we have built that identifies us and in this unique identity is oneness. the base of all our cultures and religions in fact all of humanity is oneness. how can we not see the truth , how can we ignore it... atleast i cant . but the sad part is that though the truth is so plainly out there for all to see and accept, we cant stop fighting and many times creating differences. we try to defy the very foundation that actually unifies us and we tend to claim we know the truth by trying to break free from it. but as they say that no matter how hard you try or how loud you scream you can not hide the power of a mere whisper of the truth. eventually in the end only truth prevails. you can bury it deep down inside but eventually it floats and finds its way out. there is nothing more powerful than the truth, you dont even need to advocate it or justify it, knowing is enough, believing is enough. what is the point of speaking if you dont believe it from your heart. there have been times in my life when i knew truth but couldnt defend it and now that i look back at that time i feel that there is no possible way i could have done that in fact the power of truth is so that you dont need to defend it, you dont need to preach it. all you have to do is believe in it with your heart and mind and it would reflect in your actions and the power it will give you will be far stronger than words without conviction.

my child i know that you inherited inquisitiveness from me and reached on oneness of god.remember that our geographical environments specially relating to our means of production determine our cultural behavior.if we are totally dependent on nature like agriculturalist,we are bound to coax or fear natural powers to survive and meet basic need ie food,and coin some diety may be sun,moon,rivers etc which can help us in having or saving a bumper crop.
