For the love of God

For the love of God

In Vipasana meditation the teacher Mr.Goenka told us the history of how he came to learn the Buddhist meditation. When he was suffering with an incurable migraine headache, at a friend's suggestion he went looking for the small sect of people practicing this form of meditation in Burma. When he told the guru that he has come in search of him to get cured of his headache, the guru refused to teach him, as it is not for treating any health problem but to achieve the highest goal of liberation from the cycle of birth & death.

Today while listening to Vellukudi it made sense to me. All these years while visiting temples or praying to God I have never asked for any favours from God.

Today I realized that he is just waiting for me to ask. I asked for his love and help to believe in him and have faith in him and to constantly be aware of him and do everything for the love of God.

  1. Yes. I also usually do not ask for favours from God other than" ellarum nalla irukanum", "Enakku eppothum Nalla Budhdhiyai kodu", because he is always taking care of me.
