Thank You GOD - 2

On 24 July 2012, while I was on my tight working schedule, I was checking an Under Trial Prisoner admitted to hospital from jail told me  with sarcastic  and negligent tone that "GOD DOES NOT EXIST" this is what I have heard from someone charged with homicide on hospital bed with one imputed leg in pain.... Thinking it.....

The question about the existence of god is raised several times by the human beings on various occasions. Whether we are happy or sad, weak or strong, feared or brave, lonely or in company. Sometimes it shows the mind-set with broken state and sometimes with proud. The person in front of me was showing one of his emotions. I asked him what had brought him to this hospital. He replied that he was a street vendor/ auto mechanic, had his make shift repair shop on the one corner of a footpath situated on a busy road. There was another person who was a rickshaw puller also sleeps near to him on that footpath. One morning he was found murdered on that place. The police conducted investigation and as per investigation and on account of an eye witness and corroboration by other witnesses, he was found to be involved in that murder. He was arrested and charge sheet for this offense. The case is under trial and he is lodged to jail as per procedure. He claims that he was innocent but police arrested him. He has right to claim his case for trial which is pending. He further informed that while he was in jail, he once had pain in his right leg which he was ignoring him for long time due to his personal commitment. He requested for medical examination and authorities referred him to hospital. During the detailed medical examination and further tests confirmed him the patient of cancer. It was prolonging for long time so to remove the tumor and its ill-effect, the surgeons had no other option than imputing his leg below the knee. He is feeling better now but why he is in jail and facing murder trial, why he has cancer and why his leg had been imputed, these questions have arisen him to doubt over the existence of god. When first time he reacted in this manner, I just ignored his doubt. While moving away from him, I just said that god is everywhere, all the time for everyone. It was self-talking so I felt uneasiness and started thinking about his doubt. For responding his query about the shaken faith, I need to reply. I know that god loves us but detests none and whoever calls him with faith and surrender, he quickly responds affirmative. I asked him whether he had ever suspected that he is suffering from the dreaded cancer, whether he was able to get the quick medical response for his treatment, whether he could able to survive to this date of today if he would not been reached to this medic center through jail/ police authorities. What is more important to him- life or leg!! The authorities have become reason for his survival. The way/path for getting the help to overcome this ordeal was different and related with his “Prarabha”- the past karma’s. As the case is under trial so the fate of judgment cannot be commented but what he has today is more important than what would happen in future. God has not permitted us to predict the future in exact tone otherwise we would have been blessed with this ‘Divya Drishti’- Divine Sight as well. Whatever one has in hands is the present and he should devote himself to shaping of his today’s deeds, the tomorrow will automatically shape up in bright colors. He nodded and agreed with my words. I could feel his gratitude feelings. He was now calm and at peace.  I was happy to see him as I have accomplished one of my purpose of living this day. Thank you god for being with me, always!!
