A famous philosopher Decart says “I think, therefore I am.” It means the
very thought gives you existence. Not I am a soul and therefore I am. Now tell
me – a dog has a soul, a tree has a soul, even a donkey has a soul. None of the
mentioned being thinks that today I will eat pizza or today I will update my
face book profile.
The Bible says, “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God. All things came into being through him, and without
him not one thing came into being.” (John-1:1to3)
Words are the visible language code through which one not only expresses
one’s thoughts and ideas but can write in black and white also. Now the Bible clearly and emphatically speaks
aloud that word was with God and the word was God. The very idea of life was with
God and Life was God himself. Now God wanted to share the element of his own
being – life- which was sent forth into existence through words. God said, “Let
there be light and there was light.”
God did share his very breath with us Humans. And it is also so with
animals and birds. Now remember, God has not just given us life but FREEDOM,
INTELECT and WILL also. Hence we defer from all other beings on the earth.
At last I would like to conclude saying that though life puts us – human
beings- at a higher plateau and makes us shares in the life of God, a life
without an idea, thought and thinking ability is like, living life as a burden
of prey. A thought can make your life worth living and even after death you
will be remember for your thoughts. Hence a thought is more sublime than life.
