The Whereabouts of the Conscience

-Hey you! Where do you think you’re barging into?

Who the hell are you?

-Me? I am your conscience!

-So! What are you doing here?

Hadn’t I left you in the temples-mosques?

-You most certainly did, but of what use was I there?

The very purpose of my existence is to be within a person

-See, it was all right till childhood,

But after that you are dangerous

Just see my pomposity and position today

I have achieved all of this on the basis of my lies, villainy and deceit

Had you stayed with me, would I have been able to achieve all this?

If I keep you with me, will I not lose all this again?

Will you allow me to manipulate the truth into lies?

-No, as long as I am present, all that is not possible

-That’s it! Then quietly stay put in the temples and mosques

Roam around in churches

I will come to see you once or twice a week

I will bring along garlands-flowers and offerings for you as well

After all, I should also feel assured that I am taking good care of my conscience

-But I feel suffocated there!

-Hey, we have built such magnificent temples-mosques and housed you there

If anyone was able to keep you 24X7 with them

Then what was the need for temples, mosques, churches or even God?
