God does not spoon feed

Understanding of godI have always had a feeling of divine power existing in my life. Even during times of difficulty or uncertainty when my focus is tested or when I am thankful for all the good that I have experienced in my life. God is what I understand as a divine power that may be considered as faith, belief, or positive energy.  Religious practicesBorn as a Hindu, I follow the religious practices of Hinduism, but I have never restricted myself from knowing the beliefs of other religions. Pilgrimage spotsI’m not a regular in visiting pilgrimage spots, but I have visited Tirupati and the Lord Venkateshwara temple the most. Miracles In an era of science, do miracles exist? Miracles are more of a religious belief because we call them miracles or destined happenings. When the occurrence is positive, I have heard people say that it’s a miracle and they call it a ‘bad phase’ when things do not go as they want. Personally, I don’t like to call it a ‘miracle,’ but I believe that I’m destined to all good things in life that have happened in my past, and those that are in store for my future. I’m not someone who would sit and wait for miracles to happen because god does not spoon feed. I have to work towards my success and reap what I sow. Meditation and awarenessMeditation may involve invoking or cultivating a feeling or internal state, such as compassion, or attending to a specific focal point. The term can refer to the state itself, or also to practices or techniques employed to reach that state. Meditation has been linked with metabolism and brain activation, and has been used in clinical approaches. I strongly believe in the discipline of healthy mind and body.
