हज़ारो ख्वाहिशे ऐसी कि
हर ख्वाहिश पे
दम निकले
बहुत निकले मेरे
अरमान लेकिन फिर
भी कम निकले
We all have an unending chain of desires, and at times
we want something very badly, but cannot get it in spite of our best
efforts. This makes us wonder if there is a better way to get what we want in
life? We have heard story of Aladin and his magic lamp, that fulfilled all the
wishes of its master. If only we could get hold of such a lamp, life would be
such a fun. We will be able to get whatever we ask for. But we quickly dismiss
it as fiction; such things do not happen in real life.
What if I tell you about not one but two such magic lamps
that are available for you? Sounds too good to be true? Read on the tale of
two magic lamps that can help you fulfill your wishes.
Magic Lamp 1: Power of Prayer
If you want something really badly, why not ask God to provide it? Nothing can be
simpler and more powerful than prayer. As a child, whenever you needed
something, you demanded it from your father, and he tried his best to fulfill
your wish. Now, if you ask anything from the Almighty Father, will he not
fulfill your wish? But make sure to state your wish as clearly as you can. If
you are confused about what you want, how can someone fulfill your wish? Even
the Jinn in the magic lamp needs to be told about your wish clearly. As an
example, do you want your child to develop into an independent thinker, and at
the same time, wish that she accepts whatever you say without any question? What do you really want?
Are prayers answered? There is no evidence that suggests
that they are not answered. If God Himself cannot fulfill your wish, who else
can? In fact, there are times when God may deliberately not grant your wish as
the outcome may not be good for you, and in such cases, we should learn to accept His wisdom.
Note that I am not advocating any particular religion here.
You can pray as per the custom of any religion and follow any form of God, so
long as you take your wish to Him in prayer. I know that many religions
advocate not asking for worldly things in prayer, but if a burning desire is
holding you back, why not take it to Him?
Magic Lamp 2: Power of Assertions
The method is simple. Once a day, write down fifteen times
what is it that you desire. Keep on doing it and you will find that it is
turning into a truth. It may take about two to six months of writing assertions
before your wish is granted.
As an example, if your name is Sanjay Jain and your wish is
visit Disneyland, you will write the following sentence fifteen times.
I, Sanjay Jain, will visit Disneyland.
So simple? How do I know if it works? I read about it some
years back in a book by famous cartoonist Scott Adams, and found it hard to
believe it. However, just to prove it wrong, I gave it a try on a wish that was
incredibly hard to achieve, and was very important for me. And to my amazement,
it worked!
You must be saying now that this is the same old faith and
religious stuff, and I have no idea how it works or whether it works at all.
Fair enough. If you want to know if it works or not, why not try it out
yourself? In the worst case, nothing happens and you do not get your wish. Then
you dismiss this post and go on as usual with your life. But it is also likely
that like me, you may be surprised to find that these magic lamps actually work
and then all of a sudden you have added the power of two magic lamps to your life.
Now comes the question, how does it work? Frankly, I do not know. Is it
important to know the answer? Take the computer that you are reading this blog
on; do you have to know its internals before using it? An even simpler example is the quartz watch
that you are wearing, do you have to know its working principle before you can read time on it? Do you have to be an automobile engineer with in depth knowledge of a car before you drive it?
So, if you do not need to understand the insides of your computer, watch, or
car to use it gainfully, why do you insist on being an expert and having the need to understand the principle behind
prayer and assertions so long as these work for you?
That’s it. Enjoy your magic lamps.
