Cheers!!!... to the GOD

Prologue:- Pleased with Kunti's (Pandava's mother) devotion, Lord krishna asked what blessings did she want. "Hey Madhava, keep me in pain. Keep me in agony.",came the reply. Lord smiled, "But why such wish?"."Because , its pain only that reminds me of YOU. It is the suffering that brings my hands together for your prayers.Its agony that leads me to your doorsteps. Give me this blessing O Devakinandan!"

The Thought:- Why is it so? We go to GOD when we are in despair. Rarely do we go to thank him. When I get what i longed for, its because of my hard work,my efforts. why should i thank any "non-existing phenomenon"? But when things don't go my way, i ask for HIS help. It is so unfair.(on his part, but ofcourse :-p} .I feel its because of the insecurity and uncertainity brought by the scenario. When you know, you are in deep shit coz of the mess you created, you ask for help. Or when you want something, for which you know your efforts lacked, you pray for his MIRACLE. Or when you know, the situation is tricky one and you want moral boost. No human can provide you comfort, so you search for super-human.The GOD. The Unknown.

So can we infer that we seek his intervention when we know that our efforts won't be sufficient enough? Or when we don't have 'confidence' in our efforts? This implies,i dare say, that we are not fully self-assured. If anything goes wrong, i will blame my destiny; 'HIS' wish. It takes immense courage to be an ATHEIST (No dis-respect to the believers). To blame yourself for your wrongdoings. I perceive them as people having confidence in themselves to solve their problems on their own. Few people who look after themselves and don't disturb the GOD, who already has many to take care of :-p. "Help yourself, to help GOD."

Epilogue:- By the way, this hypocrite blogger recently made a trip to Tirupati to beg "something special" for himself. I accept that i had not made sufficient efforts, but was praying for HIS miracle. It didn't. May be it was a message. 

"God helps those who help themselves". :-p

Till then GOD BLESS YOU :-)
