Experience begets Faith

You can love him for your well being or hate him for your personal tragedies but you certainly cannot ignore the supernatural power called GOD. It does exist and wanders constantly around us without our awareness. Not everybody is a great fan of keeping belief in such divine powers because one is able to overcome problems with ease or may be the problems aren’t big enough. The crucial part is that when these minor problems grow big on you , you have got to throw all your egoistic, preconceived notions in the dustbin and start experiencing a new outlook towards life , in short start searching for GOD.

A theory without experience is as good as a fiction and probably that’s why theory doesn’t get accepted into the so called intellectual human minds till it is actually experienced in real life. A boy refusing to accept HIS existence suddenly changes his outlook and becomes a devout follower of certain deity is not a very rare phenomenon. This happens as an aftermath of what he experiences when he finds himself into fix and all exit doors shut. He is suffering from a normal fever which can be termed as influenza and thus lying on the bed in a helpless fashion. Fever starts engulfing him from top to bottom and caretakers keep on putting more and more blankets onto him. He is shivering so all the fans in the bedroom are turned off. The windows are shut, lights are put off. He is administered prescribed medicines which probably put him to sleep. Everyone goes out of the room after making sure that patient is sleeping.

May be this is the kind of catharsis he needs through which he can throw out all the distressing things. Everybody all of a sudden rushes into the room and starts attending to him. Mom takes him into her arms and asks caringly about what happened. He can’t explain anything but somehow manages to point out that he can’t breathe. Naturally all the windows and doors are opened and fans are turned on. Mom starts praying and everybody else looks to soothe his nerves. Mom tells him to chant a few lines from a holy book and start imagining positive things. He lies down again with his eyes closed practicing prayer much to the surprise of everybody as he never did this before.

He really needs a savior at this point of time and most importantly he himself feels the need of one. After a few unnerving moments, he can feel the caring hand caressing him and unblocking the respiratory tract. He can very much feel his presence into and around him.
