SYNOPSIS: GOD is one and all creatures as equal in the court of GOD. GOD keeps the equal focus on each and every creature and showers equal kindness on them. READ THE FULL ARTICLE BELOW -
Son of Lesser GOD (son of smaller GOD) and Lesser Son of GOD (less important son of GOD) both terms are meaningless. When we interpret both, we will find that they are far from the truth.
The first phrase, Son of Lesser GOD (son of smaller GOD) is meaningless because GOD is one in all His forms. He is the one powerful, one Almighty, who is known and called by different names. GOD is not two, therefore there is no question of a bigger GOD and a smaller GOD. In all religions, one GOD is seen in different forms. There are different models and ways to pray. But all prayers reach the same GOD. GOD of one religion is not smaller or bigger than the GOD of another religion because basically He is one. One with different names and forms. Therefore, because of different names and forms, one cannot be bigger or smaller than the other.
The second phrase, Lesser Son of GOD (less important son of GOD) is also meaningless. No creature finds more or less importance at the doorstep of GOD. Humans of all color, shape, sect and gender find the same importance at the doorstep of GOD. Not only humans but also aquatic, terrestrial and aerial are children of GOD and as Supreme Father, He keeps equal sight and showers equal kindness on all. One insect and the world’s richest person have equal importance with GOD because both are children of GOD.
We must understand what is the difference between an insect and the world’s richest person – it is the difference of KarmaPhal (fruit of past deeds). One became an insect due to past deeds and the second became the world’s richest person because of past deeds. It is due to these past deeds that creatures are different else all are equal children of GOD.
The first principle is that GOD is one. In all religions, it is firmly endorsed that GOD is one and not many. One with many names. Therefore, it makes no difference that we reach GOD through any path of religion. Since GOD is one, it is a mockery to consider the GOD of one religion to be bigger or smaller than GOD of another religion. But we make this mistake and consider our GOD and our religion to be bigger than that of others. Due to this the respect for another religion and their GOD decreases in our eyes. It is utterly wrong because He is not the GOD of someone else, He is in fact our own GOD. It is emphasized in all religions that GOD is one still we don’t understand and accept it. Considering the GOD of another religion to be smaller tantamounts to the offense of considering our own GOD to be smaller. But we commit this offense and because of it, one person of a particular religion does not offer respect in the place of worship of a different religion. Because that person believes that GOD residing in that place of worship is different and therefore he prohibits himself from praying there. If only we can visualize GOD to be one in all places of worship then we will have no difficulty praying in a temple, mosque, gurudwara or church. When we will walk across any place of worship our head would automatically bow in prayer.
The second principle is that no one is a less important children of GOD. All children of GOD are equal in the eyes of GOD. Be it aquatic, aerial, terrestrial or flora, GOD hears the cry of each and every creature and sends help to all in distress. GOD sends the means to fill the stomach of each and every creature. All children of GOD are equal in the eyes of GOD even if they had found birth in different species and tribes. There is a difference between all children due to past deeds despite being equal. But their importance is not reduced and they do not become lesser important sons or greater important sons, their importance stays equal.
After discussing both principles, let us discuss a deed that makes us dear to GOD. What is that deed which makes us dear to GOD ? Fulfilling our duty we must selflessly love only GOD and offer our body, soul and wealth to Him and undertake sincere devotion uniquely in order to be dear to GOD.
All are equally important in the eyes of GOD but we become dear to GOD due to devotion. Like a father has four children and all are equal to him but one with good conduct becomes dear to the father, likewise, despite all children being equal, the devotee child becomes dearer among all children of GOD.
Devotion changes our viewpoint and we are able to see one GOD everywhere and our head bows in worship to all forms. We see one GOD and we see all children of GOD to be equal. Therefore such brotherhood develops within us and we find dearness for all spices, sects and tribes.
Devotion fits both principles within us. Firstly, we do not see a bigger or smaller GOD, we see one GOD in different forms. Secondly, we do not view any creature to be big or small, we view them equal because due to devotion we are able to see the same divine element within everyone.
If both these principles come into our life, the roadmap of our life changes. Life becomes blissful. The struggle of life ends. But this can only happen when seeds of devotion germinate in our life.
