I wished to cook something special for my dad, a special treat for a special person and was excited for the same. I shared this idea with my mom and she suggested me few dishes and finally I decided and started preparing . My mom immediately came up with the exact recipe and insisted me to follow it closely so that I do not make any kind of error and the dish turns out to be absolutely perfect. I appreciated the effort put in by my mom to make sure I get all the success in my task but at the same time I had this thought in my mind that what if after putting all these efforts I end up spoiling this dish ? What if it does not end up like how my mom expected it to be ? Is it like my dad is going to judge me how much I love and respect him on the basis of this dish ? Is it that the relationship between us will no longer remain the same because the taste was not up to the mark? Certainly not, relationship between me and my dad is above all these materialistic things and nothing on this planet can change It, definitely not. Then why this fear ? Why am I so bothered when the bonding is so strong and I know that my dad will see the feelings and love for him and not only the taste and presentation ? Obviously I would give my best and would make sure that he enjoys it but ultimately we all are humans and things can go wrong, right ?
This is exactly how we think when we pray to our God. We get into the details of following the correct process and get so much involved in it that it makes us God fearing, we often tend to forget that the pioneer of any prayer is a good intention and a loving heart. Nothing is beyond good intention and faith towards our beloved God. Yes, a process is designed and it’s highly appreciated if we follow the exact process and preach our God but at the same time its equally important to know that failing to follow a process but still having a good intention is not at all a wrong prayer. In fact no prayer can be wrong any time . No boundaries of process can stop any one at any point of time to connect with your God. We need to remember that these process are designed to make us feel close to God and in case if we fail to follow the process but still feel the same closeness towards the God it means we are on a right path. It is good to be God fearing but it’s even better to be God loving. We need to love our God and when there is love there is no fear.
Bonding are always above any process or any specific methodology be it with our parents, siblings, friends or even God. As long as the intentions and faith is strong nothing can go wrong, ever.
