Humility is all what humans need to be considered good by God


I remember one of the chapters in English in my lower grades, about a thief, who wept at the demise of his faithful dog. Well, the story concentrates on something else and now, i have something else to discuss.

The universe is created, in order and it is still existing in order, everything, every star, every planet, every meteoroid, the oceans here in earth, the seas, the mountains, the hills, the eco-system everything is in order, they exist in order. We live, thinking they will exist in order, we take everything for granted, thou we sin and do bad most of the time, to the earth and to its living creatures, be it human or animal.

Let's come to the thief - story again, being a thief, he has stolen, kidnapped, murdered - have done so many things which are bad. But when his only attachment, his dog, died - the human inside him came out and wept.

Every human, by creation is good, because he/she is been created by God, the most of all good, we know, we feel.

There are innumerable methods followed, by various religions thinking that they please the most super natural power through their sacrifices/prayers/the methods. Well, these methods are being followed (sometimes very strictly) for generations after generations. Does those prayers followed really pleases God???

Most of all, we discriminate people on the way they worship God. We criticize them for the way they follow. We hurt them, many times with our knowledge, sometimes without our knowledge for the practice, they follow.

Sometimes, we threaten people staying, unless they follow a particular method, they will not enter the eternal life after death.

People are confused, and many of them started following atheism, because of the followed traditional methods of searching God, does not seem to convince their inner soul/mind.

Does God really need all these strict practices we follow?
Does He really need so many discriminations among people, on the way they Search and Love and Serve God?
Does He really want us to threaten people about eternal life, that they may come and join a particular way of serving God?

I don't want to answer these questions, not that really i don't know, but i don't want to hurt anybody by the way i answer.

Because, whatever methods/ practice we follow, if we do bad to anybody of any religion, who are the least of people we know, we do not please God. We rather hurt Him.

Loving and Serving God, can also be done by loving our neighbors we know and having a fear for the Creator who created us, even before we are formed.

If we really want anybody to change, we should rather stay humble in all our activities and seek the creator's help in silence that if it were His will, let Him use us as an instrument to change whoever He wishes to change.
And we have no right to have credit for such a change in somebody else's life, because, The Creator is the one, who could make, change things, we could be the least of a nail, or a piece of wood in his work - that too only when he wishes.
