Priests have become important than Gods

Any point of time, my bit of experience or call it bitter experience in accessing the Gods becoming difficult because of or due to the influence of the priests. We may face a similar situation in the workplace, when, leave alone the blessings, the approval when sought for is being unduly delayed. You may be subjected to 101 UNNECESSARY comments / questions, and i need not say this, most of them could be irrelevant or out of context and most of them are posed by the priests and not the Gods. The priests in our Indian conditions have become so important that if they are willing then, the Gods are available at their behest. This is not an over statement.  The Gods, out of pre occupation if i may say so, allow themselves to be driven or exploited or engaged by the calendars that the priests tend to hold.  i am sure many would be able to relate to this metaphor priests and Gods to each ones’ work place.  Though i would not blame entirely the Gods, but i do proclaim that their awareness, i repeat the Gods awareness to the situation, willingly or unwillingly do not commensurate to the actual subtle communication or call it grapevine communication that happens about the Godś access to the worshippers. People who do not seriously workship or are very inclined in their routines and do not if not believe spend time for the Gods, are unaffected. However, when there are a majority of the people who do need or rather intend to have the God´s grace, need to invariably pamper the priests to and take advantageous slots or appointments with the Gods, while also resort to influencing the Gods with the priests mantras that do influence the Gods one time or the other.  i do not mean any hurt to the sentiments and / or religiousness of people by any means when i say this, but, this is a metaphor for a real time reality, that is happening around us which i percieve strongly to be happening around the world.  since we Indians are more religous or ritualistic in religious, i consider that we can relate more to these than anybody else.  But the priests and Gods do exist around the world in every sphere of life.  To be more particular i would like to cite an example where when the God could not be approached, my influence or proximity to the priest, one particular priest, earned me a beautiful long lasting long time appointment with the God.  Ofcourse, i had to grease the palms in a different way to my friendly priest.  On another occasion, when a priest was very much against my approach to work and lifegrew more anti to my activities too.  Little did i know that this priest was more concerned, should i put it aggrieved by my growth that he took a pledge to ensure that my every effort is disapproved or ignored or sidelined by the GOD.  A recent affair with the priest is noteworthy.  The priest had to take my offerings to the Gods abode when he started inquiring the very offerings and the way the offerings were offered. Pretending to be the God himself, he started posing questions about my loyalty to the God and religiousness per se. While questioning i understood that this priest has nothing to make out of my offerings or even the explanations that i had about the offerings.  Priest was deliberately delaying my visit to the abode.  As i realised this, it came late to me that my efforts to the Gods abode and my approach was completely wrong.  i returned thinking and working on another route to God.  

Priests are priests. They have nothing else but to hinder our way to God, that delay, give them a elated Godliness unto themselves.
