Ask Him Your Wishes

We humans - off of us live in this materialistic world. And when you say 'materialism' what all you think of - wishes, and so sorrows, jealousy, sex, anger, attachment, the pains all that. Any human in any birth in this world always wishes. As a mind is never empty, so is he never wishless. His wishes are constantly on his mind and they are innumerable.If, for example, someone's kid is away for school and suddenly a heavy downpour begins, his mother or his father will wish for his safe and early arrival. And when they see him with their own eyes only do they feel relived. Such wishes of a man always keep cropping up. They are as unending as eternity.Such wishes drag as away from Him. We cannot keep our cool and serve Him. Because there are a thousand thoughts in the mind and each thought is powerful enough to take us away from Him. So just imagine how far we are from the Almighty.But desires will keep coming on the surface of our minds, because this is a material world. Even Gods have had desires. But comparing their desires with our's will be fulishness. And any unfulfiled one makes us uneasy. And an upset mind cannot be set on Him.But on the other hand, because mind is not empty along with the other good and bad thoughts, even a small desire does peep up. And is big enough to give a lot of trouble. And eventually, the man ends up being unhappy and feeling sorry only for himself for his hopeless and pitiable trials to achieve his goals.That said wishes are necessary. They keep us going. They make us believe in Him. And those who believe in Him refrain from wrong-doing. Because they fear Him and have faith that as He gives good fruits of good deeds, so we can get punished for wrong-doings.As far as living in this materialistic world is concerned, everyone is under the influence of a 'wish', the materialistic desires. Having certain desires is not all wrong. Otherwise all of us would be called saints and holy souls. But having a certain desire fulfiled makes your belief in Him stronger. Mostly everyone under the sky prays Him with certain wish in his mind. Serving Him with a nil desire is nearly an impossible thing for a common man with limited penances. A man in this world is always surronded by innumerable problems and those who believe in Him, pray Him with a certain objective set in his mind. If any non-believer loses any hopes even after untiring efforts, has at last no other option but to surrender unto Him. And when one surrenders to Hi, there is always an expectation.And there's absolutely nothing wrong in expecting something in return by serving Him. It's only He to whom we can ask for. Because not every need can be fulfiled by our parents, or friends or our wife or kids. One seeks favours in return from Him when his manly efforts seem fruitless. And the helpless human then seeks divine intervention. When man cannot help man, he cries foul. But there's no question of crying foul when you are seving Him for your humanly benefits.To be able to chant His name without a desire, one needs to be like Saint Tukaram, Saint Dnyaneshwar or Mother Teresa. And all aren't saints. So unwishful service is out of question. Its actually the beginning of any man's spiritual life. But having faith in Him, and years of painance can lead you to a wishless service.
