We watched the Bollywood movie Oh My God or OMG again today, just like that. The movie is a profound exploration of our relationship with divinity. It challenges us to rethink our understanding of religion and spirituality, using the protagonist, Kanji, as our guide.
One of the most powerful dialogues in the movie is when Kanji says, “I don’t reject God, I reject the God that you have created.”
This is a stark reminder that God is not a commodity to be bought and sold, but a divine presence to be felt and experienced, and available to all.
Kanji’s journey is a testament to the power of faith, not in rituals or idols, but in the goodness of our hearts. As he says, “God is everywhere, but people say he is only in the temple.” This dialogue underscores the message that God is not confined to places of worship, but resides in every act of kindness and love.
