Have we grown up ?!

Jai Gurudev !!

When we were small kids, we used to say ," My toy is the best !"," My mom is the best !! ", "Mine is the best !!"  . When we think of that , it brings a smile to our face now , " Oh ! we were so childish  !!"  


With the growing age, we move our subject from toy to our place to our country .
And we think , " My religion is the best !! " , "My race is the best !" .

Is there really any difference in our mental attitude when we were small and  have grown up ?!


May be the *toy* factor alone has changed and not our mental attitude. 


Have we grown up ?!

What's Fishy out there ?

Jai Gurudev !!

Just came across a story rather an imaginary conversation among the fish .
It goes like this :


"One fine day , all the VIP fishes in the ocean gathered for a meeting , to discuss about the fish who had seen the ocean in their lifetime. Every fish opined their views and hearsays .
Fish 1 said  : It's a wonderful thing that we all have joined together for a great purpose .
Fish 2 : True ! I've heard that there are fish who had visited the ocean and were well acquainted with the habitats there too .
Fish 3 : My Great Grandfather had seen the ocean , it seems. Alas ! he's no more now.
Fish 4 :  Yes , that's a fact as far as the news , I've heard so far .
Fish 5 : In that case , why not we build a temple or a memorial for that great fish , who had the opportunity to visit the ocean ?
Fish 6: Well, that seems to be a novel idea . I think we need to go ahead with that plan.


Then , a temple indeed was built for that one fish and every other fish started believing the same from then on and began performing the puja in the temple too .


Though it's funny to read , we people also behave in a fashion  somewhat similar to those fish in the said story.
Puzzling ?


You see , we say and believe that God is omnipresent ,  present everywhere .
God is omnipotent , has infinite power .
God is omniscient , has unlimited knowledge .


But , yet we confine the God to one particular place , in a temple or a Church or the mosque and think that God exists only there . And we go all the way there to pray , asking for a favour to the God , who is believed to be present there. 

If God is omnipresent , is He not present everywhere , in our house , in our place , in ourself  , in all the living and non living entities ?!

Are we not behaving similar to those fish , who are ignorant of their living place and searching for one such ?


Are we not seeking the God elsewhere , when He is present with all His glory within us in our Heart ?!
