We think that God is like us only; he will be flattered by our praise
and angered by our criticism. We constantly try to appraise him so that
we can get what we want. Especially when we are feeling negative or sad
then we always blame God like “Why did you do this to me? Why Me? ” We
forget at times that this is not the barter. God will be there with you
always.
Even I use to do the same. In my childhood, I used to think about God
only when my exams were approaching or when my result is expected like
“Please God I want to score good marks in Mathematics. Please help me.” I
used to pray when I need too.
One day my grandmother died when I was in college. I have never seen
anyone too close leaving me forever. I cried a lot and was confused how
to react in that situation. Same night I heard one voice saying “Your
Dadi (grandmother) is with us. Don’t worry she is happy.” When I woke up
I was feeling relaxed. I don’t know what that was- God’s voice or my
dream. Later, I made sure to take out 2 minutes for praying. One might
think this is a fake story but this truly happened to me.
I believe nothing stays forever in your life except GOD. Some people
think he doesn’t exist but he is always there with us.
Don’t forget every single human being has ones part of sufferings in
life... this is how God Almighty ordained the journey of life to be!
Meditation is a special kind of
concentration. In ordinary concentration, the mind is focused on one
particular subject, and there can be many divergent thoughts related to
that particular subject. Here the subject is one, but thoughts are many
and dissimilar. By the world ‘meditation’ we mean dhyana or
contemplation. It is a special type of concentration. In the first
place, meditation is a fully conscious process, an exercise of the will.
Secondly, meditation means concentration on a spiritual idea which
presupposes that the aspirant is capable of rising above worldly ideas.
And finally, meditation is done usually at a particular center of
consciousness. It is clear that true meditation is a fairly advanced
state, attained after long practice.
