Hi friends,
I have always had a dream of becoming a writer, but somehow I had not taken the initiative to become one all this long. But now that I have gained some knowledge about blogging, thought of giving expression to my thoughts and realizations.
Life has always been good to me. Both the path and goal of life as I understand now is Love of God. As I recollect my childhood days, what I had conceived as God, is very candid till date. No confusion. The rough idea, that I had as a kid has undergone tremendous change gradually as I grew up and I cant forget all of that. I always wanted to register those stepping stones in my life. Each stage has been significant in my soul shaping and am sure there is still ample scope for purification.
The first thoughts of God I can trace in me was when I was in Chennai, may be 5 years old. I remember my mom catching me and my sister doing some offensive act like telling a lie or playing with some offensive article. Mom got so worried that she advised us much. One thing conspicuous about our mom was that, though a short tempered person quick to beat us while chastising us, when the matter is really serious she would handle it differently. Her burst of anger wont be there. Her words used to be more sharper and the tone would do all the chastising. When she is serious, she never used to break the pot by mishandling it, but would delicately handle and drive home the message. She scolded us, at the same time was very kind and caring, and sent us in front of the home God and asked us to pray and ask for forgiveness probably, put sacred ash on our foreheads and let us read some sacred hymns. I still remember that day. That house, that day, that much was what I remember now. But I am sure, that was the day, that was the moment, that was the way my mom instilled the thought of God fearing attitude. She must have told this idea in many ways but as a kid, it mustn't have created any impact in me, until this happened.
