A Story......
“Ah! There has been no rain for almost a year now!”
“How are we to feed our families?”
“It is a curse on us… we need to appease the gods!”
But only a little girl came with an umbrella!
“Ah! There has been no rain for almost a year now!”
“How are we to feed our families?”
“It is a curse on us… we need to appease the gods!”
The gathering near the village banyan tree was a spectacle of distress. The village headman was thrown in deep concern as he contemplated a way out of the severe drought the village was facing.
After much thought, he announced, “Let the entire village start preparing for the grand service to the rain god, two days from now. I am sure the plea of a thousand hearts would not go unheard!”
The news was spread and the convinced villagers started preparing for the grand service. On the auspicious day, the entire village assembled at the place where the worship was to take place.
What is the level of faith you have in many things you do... Is your doubt, a cause for your own failures?
So true! We desire deeply, but there is such an innate sense of self preservation, that we subconsciously think of how to handle the disappointment of expectation not being met than anticipate the joy in the desire being met and coming true.Think that plays a role?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it does...but then we're human :)
ReplyDeleteAnd like you said, there's not just the conscious mind to deal with but the subconscious and the unconscious, and apparently for that level of 'thought influencing reality', we need to consistently 'feel' it in every cell of our system :)
