Dua Maangne Wale, Soch Le, Sambhaal Payega......

I am a Hindu. Trust me it does not make any difference. Religion becomes immaterial when we ask GOD for something. It does teaches us a tried and tested method of asking GOD for something, successfully. Then why did I be so specific and that too at the very beginning. The reason is simple - I needed a start and I started with myself. The reader can change the religion as per what s/he practices. 

Ah! a new discussion, a new journey. You might have joined me for a discussion for the first time, you might have come back. The readers change, some come back some do not but the speaker will always be here. Sometimes the speaker becomes the reader. The discussion can be between anyone so why not with yourself. After all the speaker is also a human just like the reader. Humans - we all are humans and somewhere down the line we have a lot more in common than just a fact that we are humans. One such aspect that I intend to highlight through this discussion is DUA - Calling on our GOD for His Kind Help.

Let me start with a personal experience. When I was hardly 9 or 10 years old I got a chance to visit a very famous Hindu Temple on the outskirts of Delhi (Capital of Republic of India). I was surprised to see that people were tying threads to a tree. I asked my parents about that ritual as there were countless threads tied there. I was briefed that people tie a thread here for GOD to fulfill their Dua. But GOD wants us humans to be disciplined in life, so there is a catch here. After the Dua has been fulfilled one has to come back and untie one thread from the tree. I seriously wonder till date how many people have come back to complete the ritual or has GOD not fulfilled the Dua of so many of them. This is my point of discussion in this article. DISCIPLINE and PATIENCE. How much disciplined and patient are we humans when we ask anything from GOD? I have had a chance to visit many temples and have closely observed many people. Majorly people feel that since they have reached the Temple it becomes the duty of GOD to fulfill their Desires or Dua. Majorly people are not willing to even wait for their Desires to be fulfilled. "I asked for It so I should get It, if I do not get It then HE does not love me or I am being ignored. GOD loves my neighbour more than me or my sibling or my colleague but HE does not love me or I am not good enough to be HIS child." Delay of any kind is not acceptable from the House of GOD. OK, agreed if someone asks GOD for something, true to faith HE should fulfill the desire of HIS child. But have we ever wondered that are we even ready to accept what HE wants to give us. The question is, "Are we even ready to accept and enjoy the Gift that we ask GOD for" - "Dua Maangne Wale, Soch le, Sambhaal Payega." It is not a question. It is a simple acceptance from a man who himself is trying hard to be good enough to accept and enjoy the Gift from GOD. It goes without doubt that HE always gives us what we ask HIM for. Even if there is a delay it does not mean that HE does not Love us or HE is not willing to Bless us. The delay is because HE is preparing us so that we can enjoy HIS Gift. Parents never enjoy seeing their children in despair and Love to give them what they want. But they do prepare their children to become good enough to handle and accept the fulfillment of their own desires. The GODS are our Parents.
