Myth and Faith - 11

 Myth: Life is a normal phenomenon, only being rich and having a good problem-free life is the gift of God.  If I don't have such a life, then God did not do anything for me, I do not need to thank him or acknowledge him in my life.

Faith: Yes life is a normal phenomenon, we all work or do something or the other day long, sleep at night, get up refreshed after a good sleep, and the cycle continues until we have breath in our nostrils. Even if we don't acknowledge God, we can live for so long, as we see many people nowadays, unlike the olden days. But it is surely important to know and acknowledge God our creator when we still have breath in our nostrils. 

Let us see why is it so. we are all human beings, and all of us are born with equal faculties, except for people who are physically and mentally challenged. All of us may not have equal privileges, or perfect mindset, and desired resources to work with, due to which there maybe a difference in what we achieve or to what level we may reach by the time we finish our life. It suggests had we had the similar situations and privileges, we are also capable of doing the same. It gives room to the thought that no human being is premier to other, but what matters at the end is where and how one started the life and what are the facilities one has got. There will be few people who have exceptional capabilities, though they start very low they reach to great heights, we call them achievers. If we examine the life's of such people, it is the persistency and diligence they have shown that helped them to reach the position where they are. Maybe we are not having those!, so literally there is no chance to think God did not help me. 

But end of the day we all must agree no one is permanent here and we all should go though the same thing DEATH, though we lead a remarkable life or a unnoticeable life, rich or poor, healthy or suffering, beautiful or ugly, we all will die. When all are reaching same fate, that means we all are equals or no one is supreme.

Then if no human being is supreme, there must be a supreme being who is in control, and that is God, as understood from human point of view. Each race on the face of the earth revers their own Gods/Goddesses. Some say there is only one God, we are worshipping Him in many forms.

But if really if there is a God who really controls all these, this entire universe, with billions of people and a billion issues of each of these billions of people, then how great must be the wisdom and capability of God, which we are taking lightly and ignoring, just because we are overwhelmed with our own life matters!! It is unimaginable... and it is surely unimaginable foolishness to ignore God...what if he really is in control...and you are ignoring just because you did'nt get everything you wished for in your life??
