Hi,
It has
been said, “Faith moves mountains.”
But most people still lack faith in others as well as themselves in getting
what they want to get. Let us recollect a story from the Mahabharata so as to
reinforce our understanding of the need for having FAITH in order to take big
risks and go for what we want.
-------------------------------------------
Your FAITH is Paramount
Once King Yudhishtira, the eldest of the Panadavas was
performing a ‘Rajasuya Yagya’ that
would install him as the supreme emperor of the region. But the biggest
obstacle for that Yagya was the king Jarasandha ruling the kingdom of Magadha at
that time who was very powerful and almost invincible with the boons he
received from Lord Shiva. When Lord
Krishna advised Yudhishtira to send his younger brothers Bhima and Arjuna to
fight with Jarasandha, he became worried about the safety of his brothers and
hesitant to send them to the fight.
However, when Krishna told him of the powers of his brothers and
gave him confidence that they were capable of destroying Jarasandha, he developed
FAITH in Krishna’s words and
accepted to send them with him. In a hard-fought duel with Jarasandha, Bhima
killed him and paved the way for the success of the yagya.
-------------------------------------------
Lack of
faith in oneself and others causes a lot of stress – a feeling of emotion that
you do not have what it takes to get what you want to get. While gaining FAITH in ourselves and others is
the first step to remove the stress, it is also equally important for us to help
others, be it our co-workers or family members, develop that faith in us
through our words and deeds that are in unison.
With love and regards,
Siva
