Faith

This is my second article on faith, because now I have gained some more insight into what it is..and how it works.. huh.. Do I sound like an engineer? "HOW IT WORKS".. well, I ought to be. Engineer by fate and blogger by choice. :)

What i know of faith is that "It steers you through situations when things seem impossible, When things go out of hand , and you don't know what will happen next."

The situation seems out of control, and you have nothing to do, And then, a miracle-like experience occurs and all you do is gaze at the conditions that prevailed before. It seems foolish, in what condition you were in, and what you are now. Everything just seems all right. As aamir khan says in 3 idiots,  "ALL IS WELL". 

I feel on this day, that whatever I am today, survived two years of torturous ENGINEERING, all my frivolous mood swings, and all the mess I get myself into, is because of unshaken faith and wishes of some or the other person. Here, I apply my concept of "angels". Angels are real people whose unshaken faith and wishes elevate you from all the problems.The angels are everywhere around you, and they are constantly wishing for your happiness and well being.

Imagine, you are really sick, down with fever and your head is aching like hell, and you have an exam next day. You can't concentrate, you just read through the pages and grasp all the little bits you can. And then, someone says, with complete faith, that your exam will be really good tomorrow. You won't believe it. You will wonder  "yaar kuch aata hi nai hai to accha kaise hoga" ..right? And what if the same happens? You get all the tidbits you had read as questions in the exam.. The teacher gets lineant on you.. The person sitting behind you helps you out all through the exam.. And you perform wonderfully. 

The magical keywords to this success are..WISHES, FAITH, ANGELS.. It was because of the FAITH with which the ANGEL WISHED for your success.

Thanks to all the angels in my life, who wish for my success and happiness. :)

Finding happiness in little things

Today, I woke up with a very fresh and euphoric feeling. The reasons were multiple. One, because I have a long weekend ahead, no getting up early, going to college, studying, roaming around, I can laze around at home for three whole days. (I am very lazy..my favourite hobby is sleeping..that's when I get most of my ideas..in dreams) .. The second reason was that my grandpa,who had passed away a few months ago appeared in my dream last night. His face had a divine, unending light..he looked happier than ever, the multiple lines on his forehead had disapeared, he was all fit and healthy. He had come to meet us for a day, every one was so happy, celebrating.. So happy, that the happiness remained with me even after getting up. 

I went to my mom's room to greet every one, but my mom was in a very bad mood because our holiday plan for the weekend had been cancelled. It didn't affect my mood. I was indeed, in very high spirits, and started thinking of ways through which i could make her feel better.

I went into the kitchen, and started thinking of something to prepare for breakfast. After much thinking, and browsing over my recipe notebook several times, I decided to make vegetable rolls. They were a hit amongst everyone, and somehow, uplifted their mood a bit. I logged into facebook, and checked out my horoscope for the day. It was"you are in high spirits today, and it will bring smile on the faces of the people around you".. Made me even more happy, i wondered how, little events can multiply your happiness, uplift your mood.

Later in the afternoon, I thought of trying something new, (my favourite activity when i am in a good mood,trying out something different) .. I was thinking what could i do,read a book,write, paint something, but I do all that often, then the idea of preparing an indian dish for lunch struck my mind. I have never made any typical indian vegatable before. I opened my recipe notebook, and finally decided to prepare Paneer pasandaa. Although it took an hour to prepare it, I was delighted when it was ready.I loved the aroma,the colour,the taste..It was the best paneer dish i had ever had.Because, I had prepared it with all my heart. The same feelings were shared by my family. They also praised it whole-heartedly. I loved the feeling which I had after this little achievement of mine. Which was increased manifold by the support of my family. 

All these events made me wonder,that doing what you love makes you tremendously happy. It rejuvenates you, and makes you feel so much better and self-confident.

 Now, I am more in love with myself, and tomorrow I would try some other activity which I love to do.

Later in the evening, I sat down to think, that all of us are always stressed out by the problems of our lives. It seems like we have forgotten the meaning of joy, which can be found in little things, like, a joyful dream, a horoscope reading, relaxing, doing something we love to do. It gives so much of happiness, just to do what you love. The feeling is simply outstanding. Why don't we forget the problems, and start enjoying every little event, enjoying the weather, listening to the birds chirping out of the window, the silence of the morning..

God gives us so many opportunities to be happy. Life is all about finding happiness in everything. God is great. Thank you god..for everything..

Faith

FAITH- Actually, I never understood the exact meaning of faith. I guess, most of us don't. Whatever little I understand, I am writing.

I've heard:
"Faith is to believe what you can't see"
We can't see God,We don't know whether he is there or not, but we have faith in him, that he is the one, who has brought us into existence. We know that it's him who is responsible for the good and the bad, the smiles and the tears, the success and the failure. He makes it happen.
Our elders always say "BHAGWAN JO KARTE HAIN ACCHE KE LIYE KARTE HAIN".
When bad times fall, it is hard to believe this very line, it becomes hard to believe that whatever happens, happens for good. We often think, that if it is bringing so much of grief to us, how can it be for good? FAITH is the answer to everything. We should try to have faith in him, faith in the creator of this world.

One of my friends says you should think that you are God's favourite child. You should have faith, that he will not do any harm to you. Don't feel sad because something happened to you, smile because it happened. It saved you from further harm.

We can't define love, but we know that it exists. We have faith in our parents, our family that they love us. We know they won't cause us any harm.

Only if having complete faith was something as easy as saying all this, life would be full of happiness. We would not cry if something bad happened to us, because we would have complete faith in the almighty. We would not cry because our parents scolded us, or didn't fulfill our wish, because we would have complete faith in them.
I believe that we should have faith only in the God and our parents. Because they are our creators. They are responsible for our existence. We are a part of them. They are the only ones who love us selflessly.
No one else deserves our faith. Because no one else can love us selflessly. No one else in this material world will sacrifice their happiness for ours, no one else will love us more than they love themselves.

I have faith in god, that he will give the best I deserve, he will be fair in his decisions towards me, and I will be fair too, in my deeds.
Regards to those who love me.
