God is our Friend
Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.
In all the books of religion it has been accepted that we all are children of God. Once this concept is accepted by us, we should not have any fear of God and we should take God as our friend. We should not conceal anything from our friend-God and we should do only those things which are liked by God and we shall not be compelled to conceal those things from God rather we shall be happy to meet God and place before Him our wishes and desires and we shall request Him to fulfill those wishes and desires because this concept of prayer had been introduced only to place our wishes and desires before God. If we trance the history of this man on this earth, we come to the conclusion that all the religious books are actually books of prayers and nothing more. We can say that all religion have been established here just on the basis of prayers.
We should keep God in our mind and if we attain this position we shall always be on the right path because God would not allow us to go on a wrong path. The people who are doing something wrong are those who are not keeping God with them and when God is not present in us, then this vacant place is occupied by the Devil and then we come under the occupation of the Devil and then this Devil is so strong that it would not allow re-entry to God for a considerable time. Therefore, we should keep God in our mind and in our heart and we should not create such situations that God may leave us and let us become prey of Devil. We all know that this devil is very strong and we can say that this is stronger than God because if we count our deeds update, we shall come to the conclusion that our bad deeds are on the higher side and our good deeds are on the lower side and that is the reason all the people who are delivering religious discourses are telling us that this man shall go to Hell and very few of us shall be getting a place in Heaven and that too for a short period. Our mythology is full of such instances where God decided to give to the dead man some period to spend in Heaven and some of them did not come back from Heaven and concealed themselves there.
If we are very close to God then we shall be consulting Him before we are doing or undertaking to do something and God being real friend of us shall be stopping us if the proposed deed is not on the right side. If we are actually treating God our friend, we shall be accepting his directions and suggestions and we shall be avoiding to do something wrong. This is the best course, if we actually adopt this course, we shall be the happiest person on this earth because when we do something wrong, we come under a fear zone and then this fear does not allow us to live a happy and satisfied life. We shall come under the zone of fear and this fear shall turn our life a Hell while on this earth and this Hell is very dangerous for us and it shall be causing more danger and more losses to us than the real Hell which we shall face after our death.
Our tragedy is that the Devil is also roaming in this world and He is locating persons who are not keeping friendship with God and when the Devil finds a prey, then He eats the whole man and turns him a beast of prey. The man from whom other people get fear does not remain a man. He becomes a beast and leads a life of the beast. Only those people remain men on this earth who are near to God and are having friendship with God. When we have accepted that God is Omnipresent and omnipotent, then it is in our own interest that we should keep God near to us because we are not to locate God and find Him out for our help. He is present at every stage with us and is ready to help us. No worldly friend could be so near to us and there is no worldly friend who could solve all our problems within no time and without demanding anything in return from us. Friendship with God is the best way of life in this world and the people who could get this friendship are the most happy persons on this earth. They are never sad. They are always happy. They are always satisfied. They are always without any fear. They do not have fear even from death because after death, they shall be playing in the lap of God who had been nursing them in this life time.
