A Letter to the Maker


Dear God,

                We communicate quite often through prayers. This is one of those rare occasions, where I am penning a letter to You. I am not really sure that with so many people around the globe just on Planet Earth alone (not to forget the scores of galaxies out there in the vast space), seeking Your attention and guidance on various matters, starting from trivial issues like children scoring high marks in a class test to more serious issues like people fighting terminal diseases or natural disasters or violence or crime, you have the time to look through my letter! Nevertheless, I am hoping that you will give it a glance!

                 Firstly, my Salutations to You, the King of Creation, the Eternal Life Manager and the Brilliant Manager of the Cosmos! You have truly been a benevolent creator, bestowing upon Mankind the wondrous gifts of Nature like Sun, Moon, Stars, Clouds, Rain etc. In fact, Nature in all its splendor is probably one of Your greatest gifts to Man. Nature is like an invisible mother to man, who finds expression in her many manifestations like rivers, forests, mountains, oceans, etc.

                You, the Great Almighty, have gone a step further in Your creativity and made man special by giving him the ability to think and distinguish right from wrong! Being human myself, I feel grateful for this characteristic bestowed on the human race. But the modern age with its rampant industrialization and technological advancement has led man into a spree of deforestation resulting in pollution and global warming which have had a disastrous impact on the climate of the world and left the environment in a poor shape.

                Nature has unleashed its fury in the form of devastating floods and earthquakes around the world. The fast world has rendered man a machine. In the race to make money, somewhere the human values have taken a back seat and violence and crime has gripped the world. This is a very sorry state of affairs. Ethics have been pushed behind. Where is the world heading?

                I am sure that You are shocked and devastated by the way, things have turned out in the modern age!   But You are the director of this drama of life. The world as a stage, has seen many heroes in the past. It is time now for heroes, men and women of vision and maturity to take centre stage and battle the challenges of the modern world like pollution, corruption, violence and crime and eradicate them from society!

                I appeal to You to script this play of life in the modern day world to have a happy ending characterized by a divine society like You meant it to be in the first place, driven by wisdom and human values, so that a better world lies in wait of the future generations.  Request You to grant my wish or prayer, as You deem appropriate.

Thank You for all Your Blessings and Grace!

Yours Faithfully,
A Humble Creation.
