I searched God….
Sitting on a rocking chair…of my Grandfather…the crackling voice getting into my ears..the whole House empty… ..Living with him for past 25 years….His demise filled my mind with endless questions… whts d purpose of our existence… whts d need..why are we born..
Who has answers…. all have myraid questions… cold questions… as if the silence is getting into the darkness and becoming one…. as if there is hot blood puring out from an iceburg…
absorbing the soul of humanity…. Silence disturbing the mind…
God or devil? are they one? are they 2 sides of a coin?… funny ain’t it… in our subconcious mind…we have all this embedded..
as soon as our mind gets into any activity that relates to.. death and life and supernatural instincts..to God.. our unconcious brain strats functioning..
and we become inquisitive…
And honestly the answers comes from the inside world not outside…
Who is GOD?? IS he there??? , if he is , why cant I see Him? Why cant i Feel him? Why cant he talk to me? , Why can’t?
Spirituality is the “IN” thing today… people talk abt it… lots and lots… But do we know what is it…
the real people who get into spirituality… minimize there needs and live a normal lyf between us… they are one of us..one among us….
But wid d aura on there face one can tell …it’s someone with high intellects…Where is GOd… is he is there why does he not help… why does he not listen…While i was in that thought process.. felt someone’s hand on my shoulder…
Was one of my very aged aunt…
she understood my condition.. she shared a story with me .. which gave me an inside..and opned me to a new intellectual world…
Open up ur brains , while I share the same with you…
A Customer Goes to a small Saloon.. the person gets seated on the chair.. while the customer awaits for his turn, they start to have a conversation.
A conversation which inturn turned to the debate on Existence of God.. The Owner gives the customer a haircut..
Owner:”There is nothing like God friend.If he had been there..d World wud be a better place.. ther wud be no diseases.. no pain.. no misery ..
no rich.. no poor… no hunger.. no floods..no painful deaths…
Look at what has happened.. the world has turned ugly.. people cheat each other.. Money is God..
there is no God in real..”
Customer:” We all are accountable for the Karma of our past births.. Whatever we do .. we are accountable for it.. Someone is there to keep an eye..always… and we forget it…mostly..
Owner: ” I don’t think so, Look at rich eating money and getting richer and prospering day by day. what do u say on that”
Customer:” Child,wht is prosperity for us now?, a person buying a big house? buying a big car? going abroad?speding money on vacations?,using best luxaries?, dat sit”. think.. is that prosperity? it’s materialistic prosperity.. and trust me if you have used bad means to get that prosperity.. either you.. or your family , or your coming generation will have to repay it.” Think child.. of the people whom u call have prospered.. go back to memories.. think abt the one’s who are rich by bad means.. and then think what do they have now.. money.. maybe yes.. but peep into there house.. u know the real story…, then u decide.. so we pay back according to Karma or past karma or kour near and and dear one’s pay for it..?”
Owner: :I agree to some extent but i still feel there is No GOD”.
Customer: “Smiles blissfully , while his haircut is complete”.Gets up and Stands at the enterance of the Saloon,he cud see a shabby begger.. with long hair and untrimmed beard. He goes back to the Owner and says ,there are no bARBER’S in the world…
Owner: “what the hell are u saying”, are u mad.. moron?”
Customer: NO there are no barber’s in the world..
Owner: “I think u are mad..i just gave u a cut how cud u say that”.
Customer: If there had been Barber’s in the world.. No man wud be having untrimmed hair and beard..pointing his finger to the shabby begger walking outside”
Owner: ” Are u out of your head.. if he wants a cut.. he has to come to me ..i dont have to go to him”.
Customer: Exactly my child.. if you want his help.. u have to go to him.. he will not come to you”. If you ask 10 things from God and he fulfills 3, that does not mean he is not listening. That means he listens but to limited wants.But that does not mean he is not there, and he does not listen…”
The Owner has tears in his eyes…
Customer: “Tears takes you closer to God, purifies you”.
Owner:”How will i reach him”
Customer: 2 ways, 1 go to his shop directly or hold someone’s hand who is already inside his shop.(A Guru, a path shower). Stand in front of the mirror, what do you see..ur body. Wen your own body is not yours, who else will be yours.
The story ended…
The aunt continued…
A small child when asked his father , “Where is God Papa”, Father pointed the finger at heaven.. He stays there…
Y do we say that… ? Ever thought of it?
He is inside us…We just have to find him.. meet him… Imagine.. a big large Aura.. which has all the souls inside it.. and our tiny souls are a part of that soul… so the soul is always happy to reutn to the bigger soul… where it can be Complete… An ultimate Nirvana…
Imagine .. wen a child dies or anyone in ur family dies, how painful it is to overcome.. ever imagined, how painful is it for God to decide , whose life to end whose to remain… after all we are all his children.
She told me this and went to the other room… bysaying.. “Faith is the soul…” We dont need to be petrified , we just have to believe… and she left the room…
Once again it was silence in the room, the chair making no more voices…
but this silence was peaceful and filled with tranquility… D hunger had been fed… d thoughts got a new direction…

The story is very sweet and will put a smile on anyone’s face.
It seems that you have actually made a personal blog…
You seem to have a tried to put in a lot many emotion in your first post, which is in a way great as it indicates that you have a lot to share with the world.
I really like the moral of the story as in Bible also it is written-
I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me. – Proverbs 8:17
well you have to seek for Him…
You know when you pray to God for patience, God does not fill you with patience but rather He gives you opportunities to show your patience and grow in your faith…
I loved the post and would be waiting for more….
All the best.
PS-Well if you thinking how was the writing part, then I have to tell you that there were a few spelling mistakes even if you use the short forms, and for your writing skills, then I would say; there is always room for improvement.
Otherwise IT WAS GREAT!!!
hmm…..main ek example dena chahta hun….jab bhi kisi ki death hoti hai,chahe vo person kisi bhi religion ko belonga karta ho,aur jab bhi use jalaya ya dafnaya jaata hai,to jo log bhi shamshaan tak jaate hain,aksar vo log vahan pe ye sochte hain ki kya fayda hai is duniya me chori,beimani,chhal kapat karke temporarily sukh haasil karke,jab sabko ek din yahin aana hai aur mitti me mil jaana hai,lekin bahut hi afsos ki baat hai ki jaisi hi vo insaan vahan se peeche mudta hai aur is duniya me vapas aata hai,vo fir se duniya ki sabse badi sachhai maut ko bhul ke fir se sare galat kaam karta hai……
n second thing which i want 2 say dat….ek supernatural power hai jo is duniya ko chalati hai,hum use bhagwan,god,allah kehte hain….aur agar is duniya me dukh na hote like diseases,garibi n all to shayad is duniya me balance na ban paata…..marna to sabse badi sachhai hai humare hindu religion ke hisaab se jo bhi is dharti pe aaya use marna hai hi ek din…chahe bhagwan ram ho ya krishna is dharti pe aane ke baad sabne ant me sharir tyaaga……..it’s just d law of nature 2 maintain d balance on dis sphere…..aur shayad isiliye us bhagwan ne hume bhulne ki taakat di hai agar aisa na hota to vo baap kabhi jinda na reh paata jiske jawan bete ki death ho jaati hai vo maa jiske bete ya pati ki death ho jaaye….sab kuchh us supernatural power god ke hi haat me hai……..
People smtime believe tht materialism is the key to success..but u r dere to show them the path…keep it up…
The article is an eye opener…
Wow, Good example and good moral. Some times we need this to get our selves warned that someone is always watching.
After reading this I am little releaved.
A very good article…quite touching n involving.
Itz very true that God is everywhere around us n inside us…n from time to time he keeps on showing his presence to us. The only thing that matters is how well v r able to understand him n get connected to him…spiritually.
i truly bliv dt a persons bare tots are best expressed wen pennd down, u have jus unconsciously seconded me on dat wid this peice!!
The story is very sweet and will put a smile on some oneface.
very nice i m reading on this for the first time…but a sweet experience…..…
wellll what i personally feel is death is part and parcel of life so there is no need to give so much thought to it , it will come no body can help into that and its not in our control so better we should think about the things which are in our control or atleas we should think possitve and move forward to achieve our goals rather than worrying about death . And i guess death is also important to maintain this balance on earth soooo lets not fight with god its an fact and we have to ecept that .
Yes , i do agree that god really exists in this world , god is the one who is taking account of our activites wether they are gooood or bad .And we should always thanks god for whatever has given us without regreting about what we dont have as its an famous phrase “GOD HELP THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES”.
Beautiful piece of writing,learning from one’s own life. Don’t know about the truth of the story, but it’s straight from the Gut.
Questions are same but the asnwers I read first time. Answers simple and straight. I never thought God listens to 3 things, meant he Listens to me!.
Writing provokes a passion and then we swing into it.Same hapened here.
Are you a saint?. how old?.
Crisp! Good! Provoking! Inspiring! Simplifying!
Waiting for more!
Its easy to read guys but hard to follow,in the brink of todays curriculum….everybody forgets his or her deeds n gets deflected to this materialistic world….any which ways the article is good enough to start your piece on the discovery of the actual spiritual world
The basis of any religion is Faith and Love…no religion teaches otherwise…
Faith- in goodness,truth,tolerance,forgiveness and patience..
Love- without discrimination,even towards people who have wronged u,broken ur trust,humiliated u..
Spirituality is about putting this into practice…and sincere efforts will reap dividends one day or the other..
R..thank u for sharing such a moving story..its brave of u to share ur emotion and vulnerability in such a beautiful and effortless manner…
Very true..
a very nice story with good logical narration
i completely agree to u….its always on us to chose which way, how and why we want to go
Science and God !! the whole fight is about the logical narration…
Do keep hooked up with Antimatter research moving on at CERN…
Never know once day they delcare that yeah .. God and Science shall not be opposite sides rather parallel….:)
I loved the story about God. As for why the rich are rich is because of their past good deeds, but by not adding to them in this birth, they are depleting the credits of their ledger of lfe. And surely bear the brunt of it either in this or the next birth depending upon how soon they eshaust their credit!
