I Just want to share a small story with all of you, it's about the
power of faith….
Story told by a man which is most frightening yet thought-provoking
experiences of his life.
He had been on a long flight. The first warning of
the approaching problems came when the sign on the airplane flashed
on:
"Fasten your seat belts."
Then, after a while, a calm voice said-
"We shall not be serving the beverages at this time as we are
expecting a little turbulence. Please be sure your seat belt is
fastened."
As he looked around the aircraft, it became obvious that many of the
passengers were becoming apprehensive. Later, the voice of the
announcer
said, "We are so sorry that we are unable to serve the meal at this
time.
The turbulence is still ahead of us."
And then the storm broke. The ominous cracks of thunder could be heard
even above the roar of the engines. Lightening lit up the darkening
skies,
and within moments that great plane was like a cork tossed around on a
celestial ocean. One moment the airplane was lifted on terrific
currents of
air; the next, it dropped as if it were about to crash.
The man confessed that he shared the discomfort and fear of those
around
him. He said, "As I looked around the plane, I could see that nearly
all
the passengers were upset and alarmed. Some were praying.
The future seemed ominous and many were wondering if they would make
it
through the storm. And then, I suddenly saw a girl to whom the storm
meant
nothing. She had tucked her feet beneath her as she sat on her seat
and was
reading a book.
Everything within her small world was calm and orderly. Sometimes she
closed her eyes, then she would read again; then she would straighten
her
legs, but worry and fear were not in her world. When the plane was
being
buffeted by the terrible storm, when it lurched this way and that, as
it
rose and fell with frightening severity, when all the adults were
scared
half to death, that marvelous child was completely composed and
unafraid."
The man could hardly believe his eyes. It was not surprising
therefore,
that when the plane finally reached its destination and all the
passengers
were hurrying to disembark, he lingered to speak to the girl whom he
had
watched for such a long time.
Having commented about the storm and behavior of the plane, he asked
why
she had not been afraid.
The sweet child replied,
"Sir, my Dad is the pilot,
And he is taking me home."
This is power of faith; do we trust GOD when we face such a strom in
our life?
His Holiness himself said in a congregation in 1983, "people are
turning atheists today. There are many reasons for this, but the major
factor responsible for this is the vast difference or gap between the
words and the deeds of the people who call themselves religious.
Looking at this, the educated community of today is getting alienated
from God; they refuse to believe in the very existence of God." Baba
ji also said in Gurudev Hardev that "the world is observing the
Nirankari devotees very closely today. In fact, the world has already
seen that Nirankaris are leading life like real devotees & saints.
Their spirit of tolerance and their desire for the welfare of the
whole world are being appreciated by one and all from the core of
their hearts. Therefore, it is an added responsibility of the
Nirankari devotees that they should keep marching on the path of love
& humility more sincerely than ever before."
I too want to live upto the expectation of my satguru, wants to live
my life according to his teachings….just want to conclude by saying "
Mera kaash kuch aisa kirdar ho jaaye, mujhe har manav se pyaar ho
jaaye…khuda ki pak ulfat me main itni dubti jaon, har ek surat me
mujhe rab ka deedar ho jaye."
THANK GOD FOR WHAT U HAVE & TRUST GOD FOR WHAT U NEED………
Regards
Manju
