#CoronaChronicles: Faith
As I go to work each day a lot of people asked me if I feel worried and scared of getting infected.
They ask me are you scared? I say yes.
They ask me what do you do. I say I pray
They ask where is your god? I say he’s in my heart
They say what do you think God does? I say he protects and gives me strength
They say what’s the basis of these thoughts. I say faith
They ask so you sure your god will save you. I say I don’t doubt
They ask why? I say my faith is meaningless if I feed my soul doubts. I say my faith does exist if I myself do not believe in it unconditionally. I tell the non-believers you are incapable of taking a leap of faith.
If you believe it will work out you will see opportunities if you doubt it you will just see obstacles.
When you give plant water, sunlight, manure, and take care of it, it grows beautifully and blooms. What food and nourishment you give your body makes it grow. What you feed your soul transforms you. If you let doubts cloud your thought process you will never be able to take any decisions in life. Your judgments will always be fogged and there will be no way you can see the path ahead. In a rain and hail storm have you ever driven without using the wipers of the car? In foggy weather have you been able to drive without using the defogger and cleaning the windscreen.
The same is the case with life always. If you keep on self-doubting or having no conviction and lacking faith in anything or anyone how will you be able to succeed? It’s not just faith in the almighty but also in people around us, in our system, in our relationships, in the work that we do, faith in life which finally takes us forward. I don’t urge anyone to believe in god. It’s a matter of personal choice. But I always say hold faith in something at least.
Do not be A faithless man who is directionless and an absolutely lost soul. He who will wander the planet never able to be happy, content, or successful. Start today most importantly have faith in yourself. Be strong, make decisions, there may be many wishes and dreams of your which you would have kept in abeyance fearing failure I say pursue those dreams, there may be many unaccomplished tasks you wish to complete but are scared because of societal pressures, etc I say attempt to accomplish those.
I don’t guarantee you will achieve success each time but at least you will never have the regret of not trying. At least you will not die with the thought that you were a coward. Be brave be strong. Take that huge leap of faith.
Stay Home. Stay Safe.
