I know i have been tagging people in my notes and have been asking them to read my write ups..but today when i went to the temple with my relatives something dawned upon me..something very interesting so i decided to type down a few thoughts of mine pertaining to what i feel about God in general.I'd be more than happy to debate if any of you think what i have stated beneath doesnt make sense to you :)
WARNING:This might be a little long
Once i had a talk with my friend about bed-ridden patients recovering soon after taking a few pills..irrespective of them skipping the doses sometimes
This happened because pills are nothing but substances which help restore confidence in the patients and make them eel positive about their recovery.Although they do have a scientific edge to them; I believe the optimism is a bigger asset in such cases.
A friend of mine Shekhar Sharma is a disciple of the revered Guruji Shri Rajendra Ji.He was telling me about how the latter encouraged him to have 'Faith in his Faith'.This quote perhaps is the gist of what i want to convey through this note.What makes you feel good about what you are doing and what you'll get doing it is nothing but faith.
Ok obvious stuff apart.Let me give you a picture of something easily understandable and agreeable.
An anecdote which i recollect from the Akbar and Birbal stories.Its like this..
Birbal was assigned the task of proving that there exists no God,but only belief in a power superior to one and all.
Birbal that night stole a pair of chappals belonging to Akbar,placed them in a loin cloth and buried them inside the ground in the outskirts of the city and built a tomb around it..He orded men to spread the word about the discovery of the tomb of a great sage-Salim Chisti..which was nothing but a boulder over a pair of slippers wrapped in cloth.
The tomb gained popularity..sick people came,prayed and felt better soon.
Akbar soon heard of it and expressed his desire to visit the sacred tomb.
Birbal removed the slab of the tomb and showed what was inside.
Akbar then realized that BELIEF ITSELF IS GOD.
So yeah,If you think bribing God during the exams is going to help think again.
Be the change you want to see.
There are Hindus,Muslims,Christians,Jains,Sikhs etc etc etc.
They have different beliefs..but mind you they DON'T HAVE DIFFERENT GODS
God is one..a supreme being,a divine force..or a tope(तोप) for my CS and DotA buddies
And then comes telekinesis or telepathy which is also a matter of mind games really
You interpret and the other person interprets what you interpret and it goes on.
So its a matter of faith or belief.
If you think something will help you and you work towards it..it sure will..and if you think it wont but still try pessimistically..Ha..you will fail
So Bhajans..Namaz..Masses are merely ways on instilling belief.
And if you have faith in what your belief is.Even God cant stop you
oh wait why would he anyway?
