Belief in higher power
Have there been any moments or experiences that shifted your perspective from not believing in anything to having complete faith in a higher power/god/etc?
Reverse is much more common.
No, I went in the opposite direction, from being religious to becoming an atheist, when religion stopped making sense to me 😄
It's the opposite. The older I get the more I realise that God doesn't exist. Only weak or foolish or desperate or delusional people try to put their faith in something imaginary.
Deep down.... Everyone knows that God doesn't exist.
Well, there have been many. Not just one. Dhar ng a couple gere.
First, what kind of people I was with during college as I used to think they would have the same thinking pattern as me, because of my naivety and foolishness. But God made me realise that I wasn't at the right place and showed me the why as well and then put me really in good hands career wise at that time, with the mentors who were really awesome at their work. Though it was difficult to break friendships but now I look back, so it was really necessary.
Second , just after the second wave of COVID, my mother got diagnosed with Brain haemorrhage. Later after diagnosis it was found to be a case of Aneurysm where the blood had flown into the brain somehow. I still can't get over the feeling of my shaking hands when I was preparing clothes and essentials for my father and brother to transfer her to Delhi.
Once they left, all hell broke loose and I just cried in front of the mandir placed in my home. I remember for 4-5 days I was crying constantly and sat in front of our mandir. The whole house was a mess. I was not able to think clearly at that time.
But when she reached Delhi, doctors said that no nerve was ruptured in her brain and everything was normal. Though some procedures would be required to drain out blood from her brain. She was unconscious for 5 days and got into consciousness on my birthday. She was in ICU for almost 10 days and came home after 12-13 days. After 8 months of home recovery, I sent maa paa and bro to Hyderabad for my cousin's sister's wedding and to explore the place as well.
But yes, this was truly ishwar's grace and his magic in this. I truly believe that.
