my path to self realisation.... part 2

So does this god answer prayers... does he give us what we ask for... why does he makes people suffer... yes.. If we're able to connect with this supreme force... it surely communicates with us.. He may not come out in the open and talk to you.. But we will be able to feel his presence... and about god granting us our wishes.... have we ever asked him something meaningful.... all we crave for is small nothings in this materialistic world... which when compared to the capabilities of the supreme sound way too insignificant.. like a pay hike.. a lottery prize... a wish to do well in something blah .. blah...

Why don't we ask something that makes some sense to him..... lolz... there is this saying that "god helps those who help themselves"... he's a guide who's always around... it has worked for me... many a times... more often 'am taught to fish.. rather than the fish being given in my hand. so that next time... I can just thank him for having me taught how to fish... same goes for everything from getting over grief... broken relations...failure...anger.. we need to learn to handle things,people and situations...



I ask Mr.X a favour which he promises to do.. but that 100 % faith in Mr.X isn’t there.. so I try some other means to get the same work done.. How does Mr.X feel when he gets to know of it..? let’s put ourselves in Mr.X’s shoes… do we like it when people don’t believe us completely… we lose interest in helping them.. don’t we….??? Same here..


When such undeterred faith we have in god, all.. I mean all our prayers are answered……..


this one incident struck me.. A couple in the apartment i lived gave birth to a child.. Paralyzed at birth... they nurtured him for two long years before he passed away.. they were people really good at heart.. god believing... sweet people... why should it happen to them.... and I was young then.. doing my 10th i guess... so when this came up for discussion in our adda a couple of years later... a person told me.. that child was born into that family b'coz god knew it would be taken care of.. come what may... those people would not spare any efforts. to bring it up like any other kid... what if the child had been born into some other family which left the kid at the doorstep of an orphanage...?

i'd suggest one small thing to all of you guys reading this... irrespective of whether you are a believer.. agnostic.. atheist... staunch follower of god.... that's personal to people... do once in a while make your way to an orphanage.. an old aged home.. or a home for the disabled.... a spastic society...you do not have to carry cash or stuff to go there.. u can just go and help them out physically.. jus visit one with an open mind... of just looking around.... i bet anything on this god damned world... it'll change ur life forever... it'll change the perception of how you look at life... it definitely did change mine...


coming to think of why there's evil in this world... I've been born near to perfect rather perfect i shud say.. i have no disabilities; all my sensory organs work fine.. am perfectly hale and very much healthy... why are some people on earth born deaf ,dumb, blind... or others wid some sort of chronic illnesses... there ate two views about this... why them... and why not me...

why them.. for me to learn from…
why not me.. to help such people out… sounds nice …. and what do we gain out of it.. self satisfaction.. that feeling of happiness,bliss ...

So now can this god be omnipresent...... for all those who've been in love or been loved... by anybody whatsoever... when you are in a relationship.. however far your partner might be physically, don't you feel his/her presence with you/within you all the time... we seem to communicate to the other person without any physical/technological medium.... that's because there is this connection that makes it happen...what is this connection made of.. faith,trust,love and respect..sounds like telepathy....?? maybe... and if that sorta understanding doesn't exist in a relation.. take it from me.. it's nuthing more than a crush...

Now let’s leave alone all that.. when we are able to continuously feel the presence of a human .. within us... more like omnipresent... why not god...? hmm... beacuse we don't think about all these stuff... and we don't even bother to listen.. so if the presence of a human can be felt everywhere... there's no question about not applying the same to god...


One other bad habit of people who believe in him... we turn to him only in times of distress..when nothing goes our way.. we pray.. why on earth don't we thank him when everything goes fine... say a silent prayer then again... we have this dinner at a very posh restaurant.. pay a huge bill and when you come out.. a beggar asks you for alms... we either walk away or toss him a coin... do we bother to thank god for that morsel of food that we just had... which this poor beggar can't afford...??>??


All this disparity has been created to make us count our blessings and realise the true mission for which we've been born.... not just to eat.. sleep.. drink.. dance ... and make merry.. all these can be part of life.. not the goal in life..

we humans with this 6th sense that helps us think..[ and think way too crooked most of the times, which i what i guess i do] never realize the worth of anything unless it is absent… worth of shade s not realized unless there is this sun beating down upon us... the worth of water unless there is thirst... food unless there is hunger... love unless there is hatred...generosity unless there is miserliness.... and so on... same goes for heat and cold, darkness and light,

so for us to realize the worth of the creation of the supreme creator, these qualities have also been created by him... what is that feeling that goes thru us wen we see a child smile... why do we feel great wen we'r showered with love....we do smile on getting to eat our fav ice cream...
in days when people[read lay man] needed to be taken to god.. a belief of god needed to be instilled, maybe man created this concept of heaven and hell... good and sin... which i guess worked... man does things either out of interest or out of fear... :)

this approach isn't for people who understand and not for atheists anyway.. they’re way ahead of all of us... 'coz they put their brain to use... they’re not dumb like me to believe in god and religion just because they were born into Hinduism/Christianity/Islam/any other religion for that matter.... and these beliefs were sown into me without choice.. though i don't regret it today...to say the truth...

To all you atheists out there, you guys are well ahead of all of us who believe in god.. since you believe in yourselves , persistence, hard work and do not feel the need for this god, you guys need to discover the real “you” .. that’s what you guys believe in anyway……. Don’t u guys waste ur time in probing into these beliefs.. atheist or theists, the goal is self realization…. You guys have already bye-passed all these paths we need to take.. to reach the real goal… in life.. just get there…

To those who don’t believe in god…. Cheers… god believes in you.. realize yourself..
To those who don’t need god, you were created for a certain reason.. and god does not come to you directly.. he manifests himself in various forms… which is not realized/recognized…

My biggest learning….. “There’s always a theist in an atheist”….

Others in search of the self... watch out for more…. At some later point of time..

Cheers..!!!
