I pray to God inside me!!!

hiii again...

This time a new and hugely discussed topic...

Why do we pray to god?
Everyone has their own reasons and arguments and I'm just stating mine here so that you might rethink your faith in god or at least give a thought to it...

What is God?
  • Is he some higher power who controls whatever happens to us and everyone else??
  • Or is he a belief people have who actually doesn't exist there, and people worship him just because they are afraid?
From the early times man has worshiped everything he couldn't understand.
  • First it was fire as he couldn't understand what was fire
  • then the rain (what caused them)
  • Mountains (what created such large structures)
And the list goes on...
But as with the passage of time science, explained many of these things, people stopped worshiping them and gave shapes or forms to their gods and started idol worship.

But now almost everything can be explained by science so the question arises why do we really worship god still?
A simple answer comes because he gives us strength to do things successfully.
We have faith in him that he ll do everything right.

MY BELIEF is that I pray to god because it gives me confidence.
Our mind needs some assurance that there is someone else with us who will be there to guide us to look after us if something goes wrong.Our mind is a very powerful thing(more of it in next post.)
That is what prayers are for, to convince our mind.
God for me doesn't exist in reality.He does nothing for us.He is just a source of confidence and trust.
So i hate superstitions.I hate when people leave everything to God.

When it is said God lives inside us,it means "God is actually inside us,he is with us whenever we need him.".
We just need to believe in us.
That's what God is and always will be for me...

Ask and Is It really given??

                                                   

A while back i read this book "Ask And It Is Given" by Esther and Jerry Hicks.
 For all the people who dont like philosophy much just dont give up, and go through this.
You would surely have fun reading this.


It said all our manifestations and wishes are fulfilled only if we have positive thoughts about it.

And the author even gave scientific reasons for such observations.
 It said all our thoughts actually have weight just like all the objects around us and thus like everything else they follow the Newton's law of Gravitation.
But there's one catch...
Newton's law states that all the things attract each other but here like thoughts attract each other and unlike thoughts repel each other. So its more like Electrostatic charges than weights.

So they say when many people think about the same thing, that thought becomes stronger and stronger and hence become more and more closer to reality.
Hence when people pray in temples, churches, gurudwaras or mosques, their prayers come true.
But there are negative thoughts too...those who dont want that wish to come true.and as the book says the negative thought has far more effect than negative thought.It takes the thought away and away from the reality.

but why are we bothered about how prayers come true.

Now let us look at what should really bother us.

Have you ever noticed that you think about something and that thing appears right before your eyes.

But most of us dont notice such things or just dismiss it as coincidence.

But let me give you some small but true examples.

I travel a lot by train as i live in hostel in Varanasi and thus a trip per a month or two is inevitable to my home in Ghaziabad.
Earlier one day i wished how exciting it would be to travel in side lower seat.You can have a look at the whole train and at the same time whole window for you only..
and see what a "coincidence" as i reached home my brother informed me that my return ticket was side lower.

Another one.

One day I was feeling like eating pizza.
There was no chance that i would have gone to dominos or pizza hut as i was running low on money.

That evening a party was thrown by my friend at pizza hut so i had my wish fulfilled just by coincidence.

There are many more such examples and we can notice them everyday.

Now you would wonder why only small things?
Why not big things like getting admitted to best colleges or getting bike or computer?

Here lies the answer.
As i said there are not only positive thoughts but negative thoughts too which push the thought far from reality.

So when we wish for big things we think a lot about them and thoughts like "may be i wont get it", or "what if something wrong happens" or "I have done nothing special so why would i get it?" are fairly common  amongst us.

Whether we want or not they come in to our minds and just diminish the chances of our wish getting true and as it was said negative thoughts have far more effect than positive ones so a single negative thought can do a lot of damage.

But in case of small things, we dont give much thought to it and just forget about it some time later.

So it was just a single positive thought associated with it with no negative feeling so it comes true.

You may think what is this idiot saying?
is it really true??

FUN FACT : you can not test it as if you think that my wish will come true i definitely can say it wont as you ll think a lot about it and negative thoughts are bound to happen.

 The only thing you can do is just keep my post in mind and dont dismiss "coincidence" just because it is coincidence but give a thought to it.

So next time, something you wish for happens even if its a pen or a long lost eraser appears before your eyes, I can say it was your thoughts which made you find it not just "coincidence".

So people keep wishing and keep getting coz its really true..

ASK AND IT IS REALLY GIVEN!!!
