tHe dAy wE MEt gOd...

********************

~~ we were a group of six frends on a divine journey to Vaishno Devi... (one of the most sacred places on Earth..in India)..

7 hours, 12 kilometres (7.45 miles) walk, uphill... on the mountain path... with people around you, who came in search of gOd.. 

..on our way.. with all the energy and enthusiasm... we were walking, on our path.. shouting out loud "Jai Mata Di"...!!

On ur way to Vaishno Devi.. all around u see, is the serene nature.. which you have always wanted to be a part of.. the nature which gives u the strength to do the impossible..

tired but not lost.. still on our way.. we had a motivator among us.. if she would read this, I am sure she would get to know... 

well.. everything was goin fine... we were all packed up with two back-packs... a wonderful journey..

bt in our mind was all God... coz that is wat we were here for...

i dnt knw if my frends have noticed... 

bt in our journey... we met God...

it is wen we covered more than half of the journey..

he was there in a rugged cloth... dressed up as a begger... 

... he was there watching all of us.. and looking for an opportunity..

God met us on our way.. I still remember his eyes... whre he had that shiny beautiful eyes... eyes like i have never seen... eyes that looked for truth... 

his eyes were commanding.. as he luked at us... this is the fact only my frends knw who were there wid me.. I am nt sure if they recognised him or not... bt he came out of nowhere.. straight to me.. 

===========================

when he commanded.. 

bt he said... "main aapke paer (legs) dawa doon....??," (can I massage your leg??) 

 i replied.. "are nahi...!!"  (oh no..!!)

I still remember... I dnt knw why all of a sudden I asked him: 

"Aapko kya chahiye...??"  (wat do you want??) and 

he replied: "mujhe ek icecream chahiye.."(i need one icecream..)...

yes... thats wat the begger asked for... an icecream... bt why not money??

well.. thats all we talked..

at that moment... I was completely out of my senses... so i dnt remember which icecream i bought him... all this happened in a quick fraction of time...

and we moved on.. 

as we walked ahead I luked back... and he was luking at me... with his sparkling eyes... eyes.. i have never seen before.. it luked straight into me.. and he started eating the icecream...

===========================

this is the first time I met god sooo closely... 

there were 20-25 devotees sitting on the sidewalk.. and we were a bunch of young chaps... having cup of coffee/tea.... why did he come straight to us???

as I said earlier... u have God in you... its in u.. wat makes u do good... all that you do.. with positive intention has God in it.. and god knws wen to show up.. and give u the chance to show the god in u...

i am sure you didnt get wat I said..

let me tell you guys.. wen u r sincere... u have a god in u..

wen u r in love.. you have god in u..

wen u r in pain... he is in u..

wen u r alone.. he is in u..

wen u r in a crowd.. he is in u..

where ever you are... watever u do.. and wenever... God is in u.. and He is in others around u... he is everywher.. just as it is said in the video in my previous post..

it is wen u see the god in you... u see the god in others... 

and it is wen u see the god in others... the god in you shows up on you..!!!!

guys... one's eyes are the mirrors, his spirit... and it is your eyes, which tell the others abou the god in you...

u dnt have to do anything for this to happen... all u have to do is be gud.. like Jesus did..

sounds easy.. right???

bt u knw wat??... for many of us, it is the hardest thing to do in life...

coz a human does everything with an expectation to get something gud in return...

 

try to be gud to everyone and anyone... try to be gud in your gud times and in the bad..

 try to be gud to those who does not return to u the same way... 

try to be gud who beats u... and u see.. the human in u will wake up.. and do wat it knows....

it is human to fight back with wat is thrown at him... bt its godly if u throw flowers back on those, who throw stone at you...

it is the hardest thing for a man to do... bt why??

becoz we humans are full of sins..

Namely:{ PRIDE~~ENVY~~ANGER~~SLOTH~~GREED~~GLUTTONY~~LUST }

as i said in the previous post..

it is wen you rise high above all the sins that you see the God... the god would be in the person sitting next to you... bt u have to recognise him.. and let me tell you... wen you see the god in the other... it is the god in the other who talks to you....

and u see that everyone you meet.. loves u... after all love is god... isnt it??...

wen u see all humans around u.. u find that you are one of them.. and do wat a human does...

bt it is wen u find the god in everyone u meet... the god in u shows up.. and that is exactly wat shows on u... yes.. it gets u the Aura and the charm thats just the smallest part of god's grace..

-----------------------------------------------

well... let me tell u wat happened when we reached at the top... at Vaishno Devi..

for some reason.. that was the day.. wen over 2 lakh devotees gathered there... people were sleeping on the sidewalks for the past couple of days, waiting for their chance to see and visit the main temple/cave.. and here were we... came from Delhi, with limited time in hand, as all of us had work to catch up with, the next day on...

wat to do?? we were all puzzled.. one of us tried to get a VIP pass with her approach, which was very promising.. until we got to know that the temple authority is not issueing any passes or tickets to get in.. although we had the general tickets, bt with the overwhelming croud.. it was pretty abvious that we would not get through, atleast on that day... also we had to first get a locker room for ourselves where we could keep all our belongings.. which seemed to be impossible to get one... for the queue for that locker room was some 100 people long.. without any movement.. as the lockers were all booked..

we were at the verge of returning home without seeing the main temple... 

and here again came out of nowhere.. two guys.. who pro-actively approached us... asking us to use their locker... they simply offered us their keys and asked to keep our belongings there and return their's..

this is the rarest of the cases and with all this we got a locker room.. and we all headed to the main temple... with all the heavy croud ahead.. pushing through them.. we managed to get into the main gate and now all we had to do... is to wait.. wait for our turn... and finally.. we saw those amazing, serene and one of the most divine God's place.. 

that was one hectic, completely exausting day... we all were completely tired bt amazingly happy for wat we have achieved...

---------------------------------------

bt I am gonna tell you the truth now... I could not find the god within the cave where those sacred god's image is... 

i felt the god is not there anymore... god is out there.. within many of us... 

bt i still remember... when his eye raised and said.. I need an icecream... 

~~~ i think he got wat he needed... which was definitely not the icecream....~~~

***************************

listen to the voice... he is saying somthing.. its gOd speaking.. please dnt ignore him..!!..

**************************************

Thats wat we do when we hear HIM...we ignore him... wE all prAy to oUr gOds...
but dO we rEallY understaNd hIs lanGuage??



hmm... so... wats god's language... is it Sanskrit?? or may be eNglish ??
or is it Bhagwat Gita/Bible/Kuran... or any holy book, from whre we can learn to speak his language???
but wat abou the rest of the wOrld then... hw will they talk to gOD..???


So do tHey need a translator... or i should say a Medium..
or god doesnt exist for them..
And the answer is NOooooooooooooooo...!!!
yes a big one.. :)


you knw why?? coz god does not use languages we developed.. think abou it... is it not funny when you are talking to god in English... or Hindi or for that matter.. any language that exists in the world... are those languages not meant for us.. for mankind ?... yes it is..


Then hw will we understand GOD... ??


SO LET ME TELL YOU THE SECRET....

GOD talks through fEelings and thoughts..(your first thought....THE SUBCONSIOUS)..

yes... dnt be confused... its SIMPLE... but easy to ignore..

thats right..


OK.. let me give the best example for when you heard the GOD in YOU...
Remember your recent mistake that you made intentionally... (yes mistakes Happen, but many times we do it intentionally/knowingly)..


you realize the mistake you made the moment you commited it...
wHen you accidentally hurt someone... or someones feeling... you realize wat you did that moment itself... through guilty...


so whos in you... showing ur wrongs??
Thats the GOD... yes the GOD In yOU.. u dnt believe that...


so lets take another point here...
this is general... and I am sure all who can read this blog, must have gone through this...
"lets say.. you are upset due to some reason... and u r sitting alone...
and suddenly your Mom/sis or anyone from your family comes to you, calling for a cup of tea/coffee.. to join them..


and in return you shout back at them... and ask them to leave you alone..."


just think of the last time something like this happened to u...


I am sure.. u might have felt bad for shouting at them, the moment you gain your consciousness..
so wats happening here??
that is exactly wat happens when you ignore the GOD in you...


SO HERE... LETS TRY TO DEFINE GOD... which cannot be done just in words...

but dnt you think that we can define him as THE FEELING that makes us REALIZE our MISTAKES and ENCOURAGES us to DO GOOD...


GOD IS THE ONE WHO TELLS YOU WATS RIGHT AND WATS WRONG... in your subconscious mind..


many a times it happens... that someone shouts at you out of anger and the next moment he apologizes for the same... thats when he hears the god in him...
right...


so wat do you notice in the above scenario???
ANGER is one thing that makes you deaf to God's voice..
and thats why getting ANGRY is a SIN...

here, let me share wid you the GREAT KNOWLEDGE OF SINs... yes..
Y this knowledge is great???
coz knowing this will change your life and everytime you are to commit a sin, make you realize that you are doing it wrong... which should further stop you doing it.. only if you care to...


REMEMBER: THE BEST AND THE EASIEST WAY TO COME NEAR TO GOD (which makes you godly), IS BY OVERCOMING THESE SINs...
basically... we commits seven types of SINs in our daily life... every now and then..
Namely:{ PRIDE~~ENVY~~ANGER~~SLOTH~~GREED~~GLUTTONY~~LUST }

**************************************

dnt B a slave...!!! U r fRee to be urself... remember that..

***************************

Now this might have hurt many... I know... coz we all are free, then y the heck am I calling u slave... coz u are not completely free..

let me explain how.. and why??

see.. my work here is a work done through research.. research done through interactions...

let me tell u wat am talking abou..

wen I go for work... or anywhre i luk around... I see people busy... busy doin somethin or the other..

and todays most favourite way of showing love is through phone.. I call that pep talks..

so in other words... i see people spreading love through pep talks... :D

I hv heard people saying:

"Hi jaan... doing this.. love u..."

"cant live without u.. oh be careful while driving" (if you really care, why the heck r u talking to him while he is driving..).

 or "jaanu khaana kha liya (thats fine bt here comes the part), kya khaya.. kaddu ???" :D

and stuffs like that..

well, although we are laughing it out.. thats the truth..!!!

LOVE IS IN THE AIR thats absolutely true for todays world.. :D

so the next question is: wats wrong with that???

hmm.. nw let me ask u.. do you really love the other person.. if you love ur partner, u must trust her/him.. right??

U shuld knw that whatever he/she would do, would not be necessarily wrong.. !!!

I understand that its ur care that you show, bt is it not weird that u decide wat color's underwear shud ur partner wear????

HA HA... or in other words... u consult ur partner, whether "shud I wear red or a blue underwear..." :D

does that really matter..??

Oh... thats funny... bt u knw wat?? thats the truth of this generation...

Once some time ago, i jst asked one of my frends, bro cant you live without your phone??

and surprisingly the reply came, no i cant... :D

LOVE IS DIVINE and THATS WHY IT SO STRONG that it brings two people, entirely from two different spheres of life, TOGETHER..

No doubt that love is not there... but do you always have to make ur partner realize that you love him/her... do you really have to remind that "i am the man/woman of your life.."..

thats lame..

I would call that.. an arrangement(keeping up with the commitment).. not true love..

compromising and sacrifising comes wen U love someone... thats OK..

bt thats something that happens and hence shows naturally.. u need not dance around in love to show ur partner that you love him/her..

thats exactly whre we differ from animals... they have to use these gestures to show love coz thats the limitation of their intellect...

bt wid humans... we have this sixth sense always working... this is exactly that picks up the thought in other's mind through eyes.. LOVE shows in the eyes of the other... bt the beauty is that.. only human can see that and hence understand...

U really need not ENSLAVE ur lover to enforce your love on him/her..!!!

:D

jst think abou it... if you love someone... wont you really want him near his brother, mother or anyone he loves or who loves him, except only you.. 

LOVE is blind.. u know why???

coz love blinds u so much that you dnt even realize that you have become so selfish and greedy that you want your lover all by yourself... whre he might want his brother or his brother/sister might love him.. probably more than you... and that is exactly why he/she maintains the gap so that his new so called love would grow...

 Thats their sacrifice for his new passion..

Now wat shud be done abou it... ??

Loving someone is not a crime... bt forcing the other to love you is ofcourse a crime not legally on earth though..

You cannot ask ur loved ones not to be frends with the other.. thats his decision whether wat frends he chooses for him.. well... YOU CAN OFCOURSE ADVISE... bt not ENFORCE.. 

see the difference??

I wont critisize it anymore... i think i hv made my point and u r smart enough to take the action... as i said... everything cannot be spoon fed... I hope you understand the point...

this is not the only thing we are slave to.... but many... but this is the most observed form of INDIRECT SLAVERY.....

Wish you luck... and will pray for your FREEDOM..

live ur life to the fullest...jst dnt limit to ONE LOVE ( remember.. love could also be a passion or something that you like to do..)...
