The feeling of feeling god.....!!!!!!

There have been incidents that happened round me which have made me believe that god is not in the temple, mosque or church where we go about seeking it. What’s the use of standing in long queues to get a glimpse of that statue in commercialized worship places if he doesn’t reside in your hearts.

So in the selfish world around me i had really lost track of what god is and what is the feeling of ‘feeling’ him .And then there was the recent incident which changed my perspective a bit.

I and my wife recently had been to Shivaji Park(place where Sachin Tendulkar, the batsman, was groomed) just for an outing. I don’t know what it was for wife but for me it was like for old time sakes. I really get nostalgic the moment I go around in that area. After sitting around near the beach and having some good time talking to each other we decided to have dinner at Gypsy. It was a great place and we had a good combination of wine and dine. The quantity of their serving was exhaustive and knowing the appetite of Devyani it was but natural that some quantity of food (some Chinese rice), was bound to be left uneaten. And as usual we did what 80% MCG (read Middle Class Group) do, parcel the leftover. After paying off we decided to walk it down till Dadar station. Just as we reached Sena Bhavan we saw a street kid sitting on the footpath and eating something. At that moment I saw at my wife and without wasting a second I just handed over the parcel to him .

There was an instant spark in his eye and he smiled on getting that food. That smile was so soothing and relaxing that I felt as if someone from the heavens is actually blessing me. Just about as we continued our walk,I was thinking to my self, what i saw in his eyes was indeed god.I was feeling god.Whenever I remember that incident it still makes me feel good and also restores my belief in god. God does exist ,its just that we try to search him in wrong places and things.

The joy of giving and the peace and sanity that it can bring to your heart is much more sacred than going to a worship place and worshiping god.

I am sure if god reads this he would agree ,and, in the true sense i got the ‘feeling’ of feeling him.
