THE NATURE OF BELIEF

Believing is seeing. How true is this statement for everyone? Normally we have to experience on our own only then we believe. Belief can do wonders in life. Most importantly we should believe in our selves.

All of us in the World believe in God. Everyone has their own style of believing in God. Generally Indian mothers for every occasion we pray God for guidance and protection, especially, when it comes to children. If the child is sick, we smear vibuthi/kumkum /sandal paste on child forehead. This trend is followed through several generations.

Two incidents which happened to my daughter I would like to share with everyone.
First incident, was my daughter at two and half years old. Everyday morning my husband used to take our daughter in our 2 wheeler to nearby Durga temple before going to Office. He used to place the garland on Goddess statue. Perform Arthi and smear kumkum on his forehead and our daughter forehead and both used to be back. So our daughter knew the way to Durga temple very well.

One Friday morning,vshe was playing with her neighbour friends outside home.When her father called her, she told she wants to play. He went alone to temple. That day, he had to purchase Garland before going to Temple .He purchased garland, came to temple, offered god and performed pooja. Meanwhile our daughter stepped in. Temple lady asked our daughter when you came. My husband turned back ,our daughter was standing. He was surprised to see her because. She has come to temple on her own without footwear and the path was stone and mud road. My husband with our daughter came home and narrated the incident. I was at home thinking she has gone with her father. I was astonished. We thanked goddess Durga that our daughter safely reached temple and to us back which is unforgettable.

We always say kids are God. That’s true too.
In another incident my daughter was three plus. Our family, aunty and uncle went to Thirupathi by train. Next day morning when we reached the destination, my daughter was sick .she was puking and had loose motion. We took her to the doctor and gave medicines.
By evening her condition was very bad. Unable to drink or eat, medicine when taken immediately she used to puke .Morning we all had shower and we did not give shower to our daughter, gave sponge bath. She wore langa blouse. Meanwhile, I told my parents that I shall stay back with my daughter at the cottage and they can go for Kalyanostsavam(Hindu religious ritual). At Thirupathi every Hotel room, lodge, cottage rooms everywhere Balaji photo is kept . I gave medicine to my daughter, she was feeling very upset that she and I are not going to Temple. She stretched her 2 hands towards the Balaji photo and loudly calling for venkateshwara, govinda should I not come to your Temple, I want to come and see you. Suddenly she started puking, I got her cleaned and dressed her again. She went to my dad and said,”Thatha, I am alright now, I can come to temple and I wont puke or go to motion in Temple. Govinda has allowed me to come. I was scared to take my daughter since she was sick. She said mummy I am alright let’s go or we will be late. My uncle said I will carry her on my shoulders and asked my parents to sit for pooja without any tension. As we entered the queue. My daughter started chanting govinda, govinda till she reached the spot. She was perfectly alright. This is another incident which is a miracle for us.

There are so many medical miracles around the world in reality. Belief system is across everywhere in every person around the world. Cancer is cured by positive talks and belief. Take any field right from Sports, Academic, Inventions, prayers, everything in the universe works with BELIEF.
We believe that tomorrow never dies …. That’s because at some point of time in life every individual has struggled in a very unique way in every stage. We all BELIEVE that there is HOPE for tomorrow in life.
Take all famous personalities; it could be in sports, film industry, scientist, writers, singers, dancers, doctors, engineers. I mean all kinds of people with their skills have achieved in life because they believed in themselves.

Believing in you is an Attitude. It’s an attitude developing everyday. So believe in yourself and whatever you want to achieve, and you can certainly achieve and you can be what you want with your faith by feeding positively.

Belief is your self-esteem, self confidence, self assurance, talented skill, positive thinking, faith, courage. These qualities we all own it. Why are we still not coming out of the nutshell? We all have the capability to perform well in day to day life in various aspects like family, career, spiritual etc. Use encouraging words for ourselves and make it as a HABIT ……say…I CAN DO IT and I WILL DO IT. Believe me, every person is gifted and blessed with excellent talents, skill and knowledge. We all need the extra NATURAL boost called Believing in ourselves.

Appreciate sincerely from bottom of your heart to everyone for what they are. When you say - you should mean it from bottom of your heart. This encourages or boosts up the persons morale.

Let it not be a fake appreciation or just the LIP SERVICE because physically other person knows you are lying. More than anything God knows our motive and reads our mind very well what we actually mean. You can cheat yourself, your friends, your relatives, known, unknown but there is something called YOUR CONCIOUSNESS AND THAT IS GOD.

WHEN YOU ARE HONEST AND RESPECT ONE ANOTHER - WHEN GOD IS FOR US, WHO CAN BE AGAINST US. BELIEVE THAT WE ARE ALWAYS BLESSED BY GOD.
