Do you love god? The answer is surely "Yes". How can you say that you love him? The answer for this question will be like this"...I pray to God daily for a long time…I regularly visit temple/churches…giving money for it…"A very lengthy answer! But, is this what God wants? Absolutely No!!Then what he expects from you if you love him sincerely? No doubt, it is love and kindness. But how do? Here you have to rethink. God never wants your money and time. But he expects your love and kindness to some people who are really thirsty for it. You may wonder, how can do this! You have to do if you want to be a child of God. You may give money for church or temples. Instead of that you can give it to people who really need it. There are many people around us who have no way to eat once in a day. Some others have nobody with them to share their misfortune. Look around us you can see many people like these. There are injured, blind, deaf and dumb, handicapped, orphans and people worrying with serious diseases, poverty etc. Can you go to an orphanage and spend a day with these orphans? Can you give some love for those poor orphans? If you did so it will be one of a great prayer you can do for God. Then he will never give up you because you loved his children. Give some food to a hungry man, then you can see how happy he and thankful to you. There are many old age homes in our city where you can see lots of grandpas and grandmas who were given up by their sons and daughters. Go there, talk to them, and make them happy for at least a moment. It seems a very silly thing to do. But the impact it creates in others heart is something beyond words. You are not going to lose anything if you do this. You are not supposed to spend your money. It is not the matter. Your kind smile and consoling words have precious value than thousands of money. Conclusion is to try to help the poor people instead of donating money for temples or churches. Feel others misfortune, share their worries, console them. If you can lift their mind up to be happy for a while, if they forgot their sorrow and smile due to your presence you are blessed!!You may … [Read more...]
Power of Prayer in daily life
Prayer is not an old woman’s idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action, as per Mahatma Gandhi, father of the Indian nation. He used to do prayer daily said prayer is my soul and my life. He also used to say, as long as I live in this world, prayer and God’s (especially Lord Rama) name are on the tips of my lips. He never began any work or movement without doing prayer. Gandhiji got such a confidence in the Almighty, GOD. Prayer is a great thing, a power, a weapon and a way of life. An honest person’s prayer is very powerful. Prayer moves mountains and it can transform the adverse circumstances and make them amicable to you. Prayer heals and stops the wars. Prayer made with confession protects you. Prayer without tears is like a well without water. Such type of prayers cannot yield much benevolence from God. John Mon Field said “God wishes to get His hands warm by keeping them at the heart of a sincere prayer”. A sinner’s prayer never reached God’s heart as your sins and bad deeds block the way. Prayer to God with full of love has no boundaries. Sincere prayer requires the following qualities to be present in a person: Pure Soul, sincere faith, mind without deceit, unselfishness, impartial thinking etc; Always pray for other’s welfare and for the country.
