Self Belief :A Prayer that works.

I may not be the best interpreters of the true world around us. But a moment of self belief has pushed me to share my experience. On my journey to shirdi I came across many new things. After all a journey is meant to have so many new experiences and intuitive people whom you don’t run into every day.

One such a person was the man I saw on the train. He promised to be a simple person and seemed to be simpler with his long white beard his appearance said it that he was a Muslim. On the uppermost birth I was lost in my musical world when this man silently crept atop and sat on his knees with his white kerchief spread open in front of him started his prayers. It was then when his heaven ward hands, closed eyes sought some sort of relief from the almighty. This prayer made me gaze at him for the whole of the time he prayed and I understood that he was in some pain, his eyes were soon drenched. The silent cry from his heart was searching peace. At that very second I understood the real meaning of a prayer; it’s a medium every one uses to fall back on the shoulders of god the unseen, the immortal yet the helper always when in deep trouble.

Though most of the people pray each day and every hour be it in the form of the holy hymns or the heavenly namaz or the eternal carols all are for happiness, for strength, but still they face many troubles because at the times when they are in the middle of doldrums they try to hold the hand of the god and leave the finger of self belief and self confidence. This makes them even more helpless. When you don’t have confidence on yourself how can u expect god to trust and help you?

The man on the train in his prayers seemed to stretch his hand to the god begging him to pull him up the cliff by the of which he has been hanging for quite some time now .But he completely forgot that even he has to put a significant effort in climbing up. This is how the modern day prayers are and it's how you and I pray.

The prayer must not be the way its today. Praying is all about believing so shift some belief to yourself (even this is praying) have faith on your abilities and utter trust in god .As in the end you seek him you need him but remember no one has ever achieved the ultimate because totally god helped him throught but because he struggled to achieve and believed that he could do it and to this belief the god bestowed all the luck.

And always say it to yourself "Do your best and God will do the rest" and remember the simple principle that the head always likes his sub ordinates to do the work.



"You reap…. as you sow …..God will just bring the rains at the right time"
