A Small Tip to Seek God

There is a story of about a sea captain who in his retirement skippered a boat taking day-trippers to Shetland Islands .

On one trip, the boat was full of young people. They laughed at the old captain when they saw him say a prayer before sailing out, because the day was fine and the sea was calm.

However they weren't long at sea when a storm suddenly blew up and the boat began to pitch violently. The terrified passengers came to the captain and asked him to join them in prayer.

But he replied, "I say my prayers when it's calm. When it's rough I attend to my ship."

Here is a lesson for us.......

If we cannot seek God in quiet moments of our lives; we are not likely to find him when trouble strikes. We are more likely to panic.

But if we have learnt to seek him and trust him in quiet moments, then most certainly we will find him when the going gets rough.

one of the best story ever read sanjay :)

Yeah true, we should have appointment with God daily in our lives.Coz most of our storms (up's and down's) in our daily life are answered and they are kept calm coz of the time we spent quietly in God.

Hi Sanjay,
I remember a "doha" i read in my school days...

"Duk mein Sumiran Sab karai
Suk mein karai na koi
Jo Suk mein sumiran karai
Duk kahe ko hoi.."

Meaning (for benefit of all...) is

In sorrow everybody prays and nobody prays in happiness ...Those who pray in happiness they dont get in to sorrow..."

Thanks for the post

Sudarshan
