THE POWER WE CALL ALMIGHTY!

Tags: Power eyond comprehension cannot be traced in a map!
I have al ways been a firm believer in the power I prefer to call God and have umpteen number of examples to quote where His Grace has guided or helped me. God for me is the super power which I would like to worship in the form I perceive at any point of time, be it as Eashwar or Shakthi.

the purpose of this piece is to share with the people couple of recent incidents I read about the beautiful revelation given to two atheists.

One is about Mata Amrithanandamayi (Amma) being told by a Visitorin her Ashram at Vallikkavu, that he did not believe in the existence of God as he had not seen Him anywhere. Amma smiled and told him to take out a world map on the wall and show to her Vallikkavu in it. he looked for it and found that there was no place anywhere marked with that name. Ammas aksed him if that meant that there was no place called vallikkavu, just because he could not see it in a world map. Being seated in the ashram in Vallikkavu the man could not deny the existence of the place and soon he got the message Amma was communicating. He agreed, the fact he had not seen God is no proof that God did not exist. May be he had to look for Him, where He belonged!

The second is a casual writing by the sitting MP of Kerala, from the CPI. He and his party are known to flaunt their atheism as a credit. While narrating an incident about his mother he wrote that he was, as a child afflicted by Small Pox, then considered to be a deadly and near-fatal desease. He was taken to be as good as dead and dumped in a small room in his back yard. But his mother spent all the time with him and treated him with so much of motherly care that he was finally cured and came out of the illness. His mother did not contract the deadly disease, either. Though the MP narrated this incident as an example his mother's love for him, he writes " 'a power beyond what we could comprehend in Nature' saved me and my mother!". I wish some one had told this acclaimed atheist communist that "this power beyond our comprehension" is what we all call "God"!!!!
