A visit from the God himself

Once there was a village which was affected by a pandemic. In the midst of the pandemic the villagers had no choice but to evacuate the village but the people had nowhere to go. In this chaos, one of the villagers', Manoj's wife died. The couple had a 4 year old son. One of the villagers advised Manoj that he should go to Puri Jagannath temple and pray for his wife's afterlife so that her soul shall rest in peace. Manoj went to the temple with his son. Manoj wanted to buy some flowers to offer in the temple. Manoj asked the boy to stand in the shade of a shop while he was buying things from another shop. The shopkeeper where the kid was standing got annoyed as Manoj was buying things from another shop. The shopkeeper shouted at Manoj and asked him to take the kid from his shop's shade. Manoj took the boy and told the shopkeeper that God is watching everything. 

On that day the shop had zero business. Later the boy was really hungry. Manoj tried to keep him calm and consoled his son that as soon as they get darshan of the lord, they will go and have their lunch. The queue for darshan which was moving very slowly, stopped all of a sudden. The people around came to know that there was a VIP and his team who were visiting the temple and so till they finish, common people will not be allowed to enter. The VIP who was inside praying to the lord was offering 54 varieties of sweets, worth a lakh to God. 

The VIPs offering the sweets were all displayed in the CCTV footage displaying television. The little boy watched it and he became more hungry. Manoj understood his son and he asked the boy to sleep for some time. Manoj took the boy in his arms and the boy rested his head on his father's shoulder and eventually fell asleep. As soon as the VIP left, the people in the queue began to rush for darshan, the order was no longer maintained and the security guards were forced to shout and beat the people to fall in a line. Manoj and his son were pushed aside. Manoj felt really sad. 

Out of nowhere Manoj heard a whisper. The voice from the void told Manoj to go back home. I will visit you. Manoj and his son returned to the village. Manoj fed the boy and kept some water ready for the guest. Manoj even lit lamps to welcome god. After sometime Manoj fell asleep as well. Around midnight a man showed up. Manoj was quick to sense the presence of someone at his doorstep. A man appeared from the dark and Manoj addressed him as The Almighty. The person replied Yes you are right. Many have different perspectives of God but I am like you or any other human. I have a connection with everyone. Manoj executed his duties as a humble host and the guest took his leave. Soon after this incident the pandemic disappeared without a trace from the village. People were back to normal and happy life. Manoj and his son visited the Puri Jagannath Temple every year since then. 

Manoj visits the shrine not seeking any blessing but inviting the deity to visit him. Manoj greeting the deity and treating the deity as if they are two friends is an amazing visual. Manoj has surpassed the bond of a devotee to deity, he has taken it so personally that he has made friends with the God himself.

Predictions and perspectives have no role to play with the God

The life each wished for Once there lived two farmers in a village. The farmers were friends and they worked really hard. They, more or less had the same share of land in the village and eventually with time, both of them died in the same period.  After their death both the farmers were in their after life. God asked both the farmers the same question. The first farmer was asked: how was his life and how could have God made it better for him. The farmer was so annoyed and disgraced with all the hardship he had in his life. The farmer said he had no luxury, he and his family barely had anything to enjoy. They struggled to manage each day. God kept quiet and asked the farmer what he wanted to become in his next life. The farmer wished to be someone who is unquestioned and who people gave money to. God blessed him and granted his desire.  God approached the other farmer with the same question. The farmer said he was really glad with the life God had given him. The farmer thanked ...

Strong roots Sangeetha and her husband were staying in a housing colony. Next doors to them lived an old man. Everyone addressed him as grandpa. One day a man who sold plants was in the colony. Sangeetha and the grandpa bought the same plant and planted it in their yard. Sangeetha had her education in agriculture and knew everything about the plant. Sangeetha watered the plant and used the right fertilizers and pesticides for her plant and she was so prompt with her schedule. After days both the plants were easily distinguishable. Sangeetha's plant was so green and flourished beautifully. Grandpa's plant was barely anything.  One evening, thunder and storm rampaged the area, everyone and everything was affected. The whole night heavy wind blew. The next morning grandpa and Sangeetha came out to check their plants. Sangeetha's plant was totally damaged, even the last strand of root was pulled out of the soil by the wind. Grandpa's plant on the other hand was just bent, n...
