ಬಾಳ ಪಗಡೆ ಆಟದಲ್ಲಿ... ಸುತ್ರಧಾರಿ ಯಾರು [Who drives the life on earth]

We human beings we live in group. We live in society/state/nation. How can so many creatures live under common place without any conflicts? I don't think constitutional law alone can make people of a country live with peace. What is the centrifugal force that runs this Human race? What is the eternal power that runs the life on earth?
For such questions default answer is GOD .... I think god is always associated with religion. Each religion has its own gods and goddesses. After all every religion is created/started by human beings. I think its religion that plays major role in everybody's life.

What is religion?
A religion is a set of beliefs and practices, often centered upon specific supernatural and moral claims about reality, the costumes, and human nature. Basically its a set of beliefs, thoughts and practices followed by set of people. Though every religion has its own rigid set of rules, beliefs and thoughts but it changes along with the time. Change is inevitable. And the thoughts and beliefs do change accordingly. As the time changes religion also changes.

Beliefs, thoughts and practices conflicts from one religion to other religion. If we look into the history many wars took places because of religion. Basically, some people trying to force their religion to others. Even today whole world is divided logically on the basis of religion. There is every attempt going on to pull people into their religion by force/power or by attracting with some other means. Some people attract other religion people by money or by giving socio economical aids or by lectures etc. Some might take extreme steps by fighting wars and even by terrorism.

Religion helps individual to live in society with harmony and peace, some says it helps individuals to attain liberation and some says it tells how to do your duty. Religion tells about Artha(purpose),Kama (pleasure), Dharma(duty) and Moksha(liberation). Though in modern life not many of us believe in Moksha :-)

Every religion preaches on doing right things. It stops you from doing wrong things. Right and wrong are always perspective. Good or bad is perspective. It’s all in our belief, in our mind or in our thinking. The belief/thought might be right for me where as wrong for some one else. What about the soldier fighting a war and killing his opposition? A soldier might be just following the orders of some higher officers or some government. But for him its his duty. He thinks is doing right. Even if he knows that he is killing some innocents still he will do it thinking that its his duty. What about police killing someone in an encounter? What about a doctor performing an abortion? What about judge ordering 'hang till death'? What about the deaths occur during the communal violence? What about the deaths due to accidents?

In all the cases each one is doing their duty. It’s right in their perspective. But it could be wrong in other party's perception. What is one’s duty? Who defines it? Is it defined by religion or law/constitution? Or is it the profession that teaches it? Or is it defined by self sense?

It's rightly said "ಬಾಳ ಪಗಡೆ ಆಟದಲ್ಲಿ ಬರಿ ಕಾಯಿ ಎಲ್ಲರು, ನೆಡೆಸುವಾತನು ಬೇರೆ, ಅವನ ಇಚ್ಛೆ ಯಾರು ಬಲ್ಲರು" [In life, the game of dice, we are all are pawns, who know what the intensions of the player (god) ] ….

Whole point is who that player is?!!! Again back to zero level …same question who drives the life on earth????
