God is within us
It’s a story of a small town. There the inhabitants were jubilant as they were celebrating Mother Marry’s Birthday. The only church of the town was decorated very beautifully. On the very day, everyone of the town with all new dresses they started to come to church with gifts in their hand for mother Marry. There lived one infant teenage girl in that town too. She was very poor. She uses to show gymnastics in the streets to earn her livelihood. On that very day that girl also went to the church with her best dress and in empty hand. But the gatekeeper stopped her on the gate as her dress was not good enough for the occasion though it was her best dress and moreover she was without gift for mother.
The girl repeatedly pleads the gatekeeper to allow her inside. Even her tears couldn’t yield any result. She then with her broken heart slowly went back to the garden of the church where there is a very beautiful statue of mother Marry. Sitting beside the statue she wiped a lot and prayed to mother to forgive her as she has nothing to offer. She then thought – I can show gymnastics to mother. That is the only thing she is capable of. So she stated her show in front of the statue of mother.
In the meantime, the father of the church noticed tears in the eyes of mother. Father thought, how this is possible. There must have been something wrong. He asked everyone if they can identify something wrong. Everybody started looking for something which might have caused mother shedding tears. Within a short time Father noticed that very girl in front of the statue of mother doing the tricks of gymnasts. Father approached the girl and asked what she is doing. She replied that she is doing to please mother as she has nothing else to offer her.
Father understood the wrong. Mother’s child cannot be left behind in the celebration.
This simple story has a deep meaning. We are always busy in worshipping God with different rhymes and rituals but we forget to love God. God is not just an idol. God is within us. God is for everyone. Only to Him money or status doesn’t matter. We can love Him with what we have. We gift Him food, flowers, cloths etc. but we keep away ourselves. We are the most beautiful creation of Him. Can we say that God has created all the rules and regulations that we maintain?
There are no rules to please Him. The main thing is devotion that we can gift Him. He will love us in every condition.
Sun is unable to do any partiality with all the creatures of the world. It depends on our ability to grasps the energy from the Sun. Like that it depends on us to being loved by God. His love is superior to everything in the world because only He stays with us in every condition.
We cannot hear His voice as we are busy with this materialistic world. He is really there and if we cry like that poor girl we will also get the divine touch of Him
