"Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of all things and no good thing ever dies. "
- Red in 'The Shawnshank Redemption'.
As the world gets more and more cynical, practical and isolated from the magic of the universe, its nice to see someone once in a while whose faith in the Almighty is staunch and stubborn. Someone who doesn't buckle under the pressure of panic and anxiety and patiently waits for her Lord Shiva to take care of all that is going wrong. She is worried but the power of her faith is greater. And when, destiny throws a curveball her way, she goes running to her idol and requests HIM to keep her faith. If her loved one did not wake up at the break of dawn, then, it must be a test of faith , to see just how much you are willing to stretch yourself for the one you love. So, she prays to HIM and hopes that her loved one will wake up , with the risen sun if not the sunrise.
But this... cynical, cynical world sees God with the eye of a mortal. And tells her that God will listen to her only if she barters something to HIM.
Confused and traumatized as she holds on to the edge of hope for her soulmate's life, the girl makes a pact with GOD. A pact that GOD never asked for.
If only that Priest knew and this fear-stricken world knew, all GOD demands is your surrender to HIS light and that too n your own sweet time when you find your way to HIM.
God's love is selfless, unconditional and irrevocable. That's the hope that this world is perched on.
Lord Shiva surrendered to Maa Parwati's selfless love, and there was no barter , no material condition.
Its horrible and terrible how we WEIGH God's love.
