Believe in GOD

Yesterday, i got one mail saying “Shirdi Chamatkar...” – The contents of the Email says i need to send this email to 20 more people (excluding the sender :) ). If i don’t send that email, i will face misfortune in next 5-10 days. I don’t know what happened to us. Are we fearing from misfortune or do we have lost faith in GOD ? At least i have a firm believe in ALLMIGHTY, so i decided not to send any mail of such type.

Everyone of us has a firm believe in GOD and we all want to please GOD. Some of us does this only for a fear so that they may not be a part of any misfortune and the others do it only for getting HIS blessings.

Of course, everyone has a right to firm their faith in their own way, however sometimes, we forget the faith and fear overpowers it, then comes different ways that we use to make our believe strong in ALMIGHTY. In the breed of WWW, we use email to force our believe on others as well. We send Emails to draw attention of others. But have we ever think if believing in GOD says us to misuse the valuable EMail/Network resources?

I do believe in GOD, but by sending a 1 MB or 2 MB mail, i will only add my negative contribution to the network. GOD will be very happy and grace you with his blessings when

• You give some food to a hungry and needy.

• You shelter someone if he/she is dying with cold/heavy rain.

• You contribute some money if there is drought/flood somewhere and people need help.

The points mentioned above are only 3 points which i could gather in my mind. But this is not the end, there are immense ways to please GOD. You have a very good resource called internet to explore more or you must have your own ways also. Nothing can stop you exploring new ways. There are tremendous other ways as well, These chain mails will not serve the purpose.

By sending these type of mails, we are only making people fear if they don't do it, they will face misfortune. Think twice and tell me how one can ask others to do a task and punish them if they don't do it. The correct way is,  you let the other person decide if they want to agree with you or not or want to do the same task. (It is not only for this particular task rather every task we do in our life.) 

May be i have hurt someone’s feelings, but i never intended to do so, i just explained whatever i thought. Agree or disagree is someone's personal opinion. I would appreciate if you let me know your views or let me know if i have conveyed a wrong message.
