Prayers and Hopes

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

The last few days' discussions on faith and remedies inspired me to

write this. I am a very ordinary human being and what I am writing

is based totally on my understanding.

 

All of us being human beings, live on hopes. The hope that one day

my wish will be fulfilled, one day it will be better than what it is

today, one day I will achieve success or one day I will be united

with my beloved and so on...

But as days pass by, man starts getting scared...what if my wish is

not fulfilled, what if I fail to achieve what I want so dearly ? And

that scared being starts looking for a support. It's very hard for

an ordinary human being to be totally independent, to fight all

alone. And the fear of losing or the thought of his wish not

getting fulfilled makes him weak. The confidence in him takes a turn

and he starts looking for something or someone whom he can rely on,

someone whom he can tell his wishes, someone who can help him. And

that's where he turns to prayers and remedies. We all accept that

there is a Superpower which controls the happenings in the world and

we worship that Superpower in the form of a deity/a visible form as

it is easy for the human mind to concentrate on a visible form. The

wishes are fulfilled or not, the remedies work or not but that

reliance doesn't go in vain. The prayers give man the extra strength

and man is able to cope up with the bad time. That support keeps the

hope alive and man cannot survive without that hope. Prayers makes

his will power strong, increases the concentration and gives him the

mental strength to fight. To have the faith that HE is there to take

care and HE can solve my problems is what helps man to live through

his tough life.
