WE SHOULD WORSHIP AN IDOL OF GOD OR NOT- TRUE STORY
One of my respectable maternal Uncle ,was an eye specialist.Now he is no more ,I always pray to the God to grant deliverance and peace to his soul forever .He had done the course of doctory (i.e.presently the degree of MBBS) ,from England in 50’s.He used to go through the books of experiences of English officer , who were posted in India for Administration purpose,before independence of India,while he was at England,in library.He told me a story of the book when I was hardly 12 years old.The story is –A British officer was posted in the State-Tamilnadu(i.e.presently Chennai) ,Madurai,of South india,for few years, (I am unable to recall the name of the officer, place and the post of the officer).Daily evening, after completion of his works, the British officer used to come back to his quarter by riding on horse from his office.The Meenakshi temple was inbetween from his office to Quarter.He used to see numbers of people were worshiping in the temple and taking a circle (i.e. परिक्रमा )of the temple.Though the officer was not devotee of the Goddess “Meenakshi” but playingly he also started taking a circle of the temple, riding on his horse,daily,without missing,failing and forgetting,while coming across to the temple, to his home/quarter.
Once he was sleeping on his bed, in his room, of the residential quarter allotted to him.He was alone.In those days the rooms were constructed of big/huge size, of high hights.That very night was cloudy.Suddenly the officer wake up, because of the aloud sound of blowing wind, like storm and the roaring cloud howling (बादल गरजना),and drizzling sound of rain.He felt that somebody is knocking his door from out side.Very difficultly, as he was tired enough ,got up and opened the door.He shivered ,as he saw a little , very beautiful girl of the age 5 to 6 years was standining at distance 30 to 50M out side of the door, and calling for him by her little hand(i.e.hand call, i.e.हाँथ से बुलाना).He simply obeyed her and came out of the room and rushed towards the girl,runningly.The moment he came out of the house and moved a few distance sufficiently,away from his room ,he again heard the sound of the thunder and saw Gruesome(i.e. भीषण) lightening.He moved back and saw that the lightening falled on his quarter and particularly, his bed room was burning and completely ruined due to lightening.Then he turned back towards the direction of the little girl,he saw nobody was there……..
Therefore, the invisible, shapeless, God/Godess takes the shape for them also who worship the God playingly and not seriously,but sincerely without.You may not be serious but the God always seriously accepts your worship and love for him/her.
Hence, the God is only one because the British officer was a Christian; even then the God did not differentiate him/her while rescuing him.
And, finally please note, the invisible, shapeless, formless, omnipresent God always honour and respect, accept your worship heartily, even in idol form of his/her, provide you worship him/her devotionally/sincerely.
Therefore our Muslim friends also say-“Kahin Jal ke Jalwa Dikha Na De”.Means-Beware of the God other wise he may show you, himself, in the form/shape of burning with high temperature and you all will be burnt into ashes wthin fraction of second.
The name or place may wrong but the basic story is true.
