God answers prayer, you need to be alert to understand it

We pray god, we blame god, we curse god; all depends on the answer we want to get and that also in the way we want to get it. But believe me, she answers every query forwarded to her, may not be in the way we want to get it, but the way she deems it fit for us. She never prop us to break the process and rule to achieve success and chase any shortcut; but she guide and walks us through the route which is correct.

A week back, I had gone to Maa Durga (Mother Goddess, The Supreme Power ) Temple at “Uchhaith Sthan” in Madhubani to seek her guidance for my future and answer for my failures. This temple is very famous among devotees and people from all walk of life and far flung places visit it for the Maa’s blessing. Discovery Channel has also made and aired a programme on this temple.

When I reached the temple, it was almost the time to clean and make it ready for the evening prayer. I bought flowers, coconut and embroidered stoal (chunni) to offer prayer and worship Maa. I entered the temple, reached in front of Maa’s statue.  Finding nobody to guide me, I tried to break the coconut in front of statue. Coconut did not break in one hit, so, I left that coconut, flowers and embroidered stoal in front of Maa and came out. But something was pulling me back, so I stood at the gate for some time. Soon, volunteers of the temple came to clean it. They saw the unbroken coconut and that stoal kept in front of the statue and after seeing me standing at the gate they asked me whether I have left it there. After getting the response in affirmative, they asked me why I have not broken the coconut. I told them that I tried but could not succeed. They again propped me to try and this time, in just one hit, I broke the coconut and was able to offer the coconut water to Maa Durga. Immediately, something struck my mind, an idea, the answer.

Maa answered my questions. I was never giving my hundred percent to whatever I was doing. I was leaving all the effort mid-way and not finishing the work to get the result. So, half-baked effort was only yielding half baked result.

Lesson learnt: There is no easy route to achieve the success. Until you give hundred percent to your work and work till finishing point, you won’t get the result you expect. Go and give that extra hit to break the coconut and get the water out of it offer Maa Durga.
