AN IDEAL EXISTENCE IS ONE IN WHICH WE UNDERSTAND THE ALMIGHTY’S CALLING NO MATTER WHAT STATE OF MIND WE ARE GOING THROUGH
We human beings are God’s finest creations, bestowed with all the qualities. But we are so self-engrossed in our materialistic endeavours that we forget the real purpose of our existence.
We live with the least gratitude towards the Almighty; wrongly considering ourselves responsible for all that is happening in our lives, remembering Him only in times of trouble.
A construction supervisor, standing on the 16th floor of a building, was trying to call a worker on the ground floor. Since there was a lot of noise, the worker did not hear his call and did not respond.
After repeated calls, the supervisor, in order to draw his attention, threw down a
10 note. The worker immediately picked up the note and put it in his pocket and continued working without seeing where it came from.
In order to draw the attention of the worker, the supervisor now threw a 500 note and the worker did the same.
This offended the supervisor so much that he picked up a small stone and threw it on the worker.
The stone hit the worker on the head and this time the worker looked up and the supervisor communicated with him.
This story holds a lot of similarity with our lives. God, who is in our hearts and everywhere else, wants to communicate with us in order to direct our lives in doing good deeds, but we totally ignore the calls.
He showers us with so many big and small gifts, which we happily grab without showing any gratitude, instead we proudly feel that it is purely our luck and nothing else.
Then, when one day we are hit with a stone, let’s call it a problem, we look up and try to communicate with Him. We pray and ask for His help.
It is rightly said, “He gives, gives and forgives; and we get, get and forget.”
So, one can say an ideal existence is one in which we always understand His calling, no matter what state of mind we are going through.
