AN ABSOLUATE CERTAINTY IS MUST TO BELIEVE IN A MAGIC CALLED “GOD”
If we examine the kind of life humans used to live before 5/6 decades and now, the difference is HUGE. The modern humans (as we call ourselves) are far more unsatisfied than their predecessors. The only and effective secret ingredient which our ancestors mixed in their way of living was their BELIEF. This belief turned into commitment in whatever they did which resulted into a satisfying experience, even at the expense of unfavorable result. Not going into whether their belief was right or wrong as it is always a perspective, the fact of the matter is, they either believed and worked towards something to happen and if not, they accepted the result as their fate for better. There was no kind of jinx involved, especially when it comes to human ethical values. One such belief is GOD.
I came across a story few days back on a radio. A Lady RJ was describing a tale of merely 10/12 years old boy. A village was ruled by a noble King. Unfortunately, the King and queen were not blessed with a child. The tried every nook and corner for this but some locks can only get unlocked via GOD. We have no part to play after certain extent. One day, the couple heard of a very knowledgeable and pious saint in nearby village, whose blessings were considered to be doing miracles. The King and Queen went to the saint and poured their heart and wish. The saint guided them they if they ever want to be parents, they will have to compromise a child’s life from his/her parents. The response was strange, upsetting and clearly unethical. The King was very gentle and would never compromise someone’s child just to get theirs. They returned from the saint’s place and the King insisted to dismiss this idea. But this thought kept chasing in the queen’s mind and heart. Her desire to become a mother outplayed her duty as a lady and even a human. She discussed with the King that they can try once to inform if anyone is willing to compromise their child. They will not force anybody, but the queen wanted to take a chance.
Our heart can be strongest and the weakest at the same time for different people. The King was strong to not wish this but was weakest in front of queen’s desire. Her wish stepped a mile more and this request was announced in the village. After few days, a couple with their four sons appeared in front of the King and queen with the desire to compromise their youngest son. The couple was more interested in securing the money which the King would gift them in exchange of their son. The King asked the couple if they know and are sure about what they are doing. The man replied that their youngest son is doing no good to them and always devotes himself to GOD, which is not rewarding anything to them. The King forced the couple to check on their decision, but the couple remained firm.
The King, with heavy heart went to the son and said, “I am Sorry, Son. I know, what I am going to do with you will never allow me to live in peace then, but before I order that, I would like to fulfill your wish if you have”. The son replied, “I want to show you what I have learnt in my life”. The King agreed. The son piled up clay particles at four locations adjacent to each other. He addressed the King, “The first clay heap indicates my parents’ role in my life. The one who gave birth to me, who are bound to protect me, are throwing me to death. I hereby destroy this pile. The second one belongs to my relatives who were supposed to stop my parents from doing this, but they did not. I disown them as well. The third clay stack is for you, King. It is your duty to protect everyone in your village, but you are compromising my life. I destroy your pile too. The last one is for my God. I know he is with me even at this time.”
The King was astonished to see the belief this small boy carried ! He was ashamed of himself. He cried with guilt for what he was about to do. He immediately looked at his queen and understood tears and sparkle in her eyes. The King and Queen happily decided to adopt this boy and wholeheartedly welcomed their prince !!
The King and queen deserved a child like this boy, but they were meant to undergo the sufferings. The saint blessings unwrapped for the King and queen like heaven. Sometimes, when we unknowingly get trapped into a situation, we assume that the universe is tearing us from within. During that process, we should gain enough guts and positivity to face this just for one reason that God is about to burst his blessings like a heavy cloud on us. That sad part of our story is going to be the most powerful part of our testimony. What flavor does to food, music does to healing so as hope and belief does to life. Never ever underrate them. Some souls like this little boy are magic, their prayers are powerful. If you have even one such rare soul in your life, hold them close, hold them forever.
True Miracles are good people with kind heart, and that’s all and enough 😊
