Why should I pray?

Lot of us wonder about the purpose of life. The perception that one holds on life reflects on their thoughts and actions. With a normal personality, one should not struggle much with the thoughts of being self. The problem comes when one is prompted to think on self in relation with another.

The man who crossed the road would have made no impact on me, had he not come under my car. The women I saw at the ATM would not have mattered, if she had not given a glance. I would have never gone there, had it not been for my friend. This is how life takes its course! For some this turns out to be advantageous and for some, not. But the important thing is to be aware of the possibility that every time one makes a move a lot of other factors are impended on. That women I saw at the ATM might turn out be my wife a couple years from now. The man who crossed the road could have made me spent a few years of my life in detention.

Once this realization is made, the mystery of life starts unfolding in front of our eyes. We feel pain just because it makes us realize the value of a smile. My loses makes me treasure my victories. The person who came under my car would some time become my greatest friend and I may not ever see the other women. My life goes on… till one day I take an off and see for myself where I am. The day I would remember the point where I had an old women cross the road and got her blessings; a leaper was denied any alms. Then I sit down and think of how the string has taken me thorough the years, what went right and what not, what could have been changed and what not, if something could have been changed, then how?

The real food for thought is when I exactly found time to sit back! Am I late, that I have things too complex for me? To me any time is perfect until one has the courage to look at ones own life, the will power to say that I went wrong and the wisdom to sort it out. This is what a prayer can do to you, a time off to oneself and the necessary courage, power and wisdom!
