Yes i remember god when i was in sad too because by remembering god i got a hidden power to get out from Sadness........
Generally people remember some god when in distress. Once there were about one hundred passengers in a ship. A sudden storm wrecked the ship. The passengers feared drowning. They prayed to gods of their choice.
Lord Christ saved his disciples and carried him a a boat. Similarly, Zoroastrians, Sikhs etc were saved. Hindus were left still in ship. ALL were remebering Lord Shiva, Vishnu, Rama, Krishna etc.
Ultimately, some one suggested: Let us pray to one god only. So, all prayed to Lord Ganesha. Lord Ganesha appeared and laughingly began upsetting the ship. The devotees were afraid: Lord, You are drowning us instead of saving. Ganesha said: what you do every year. you all drown my image in ship and call this ganesha Visarjan. Now this is my opportunity.
Hahaha...that was nice thing Lord Ganesha did. :laugh:
I think its we Hindu only who worship so many Gods. :blink:
But this is just humor. Actually no god will save. The drowning passengers actually needed life boats that would be sent by humans only.
Practically if you think its life boat only which save life of people in sinking ship but people think eventually its God who send someone to save their lives but the things are OK its just a matter oof thinking. :blink:
What actually happens is that if you are sure of remedy like calling fire brigade, police, doctor, you will do that and you don't bother about God or any such thing. But if you feel helpless and do not know what to do, you will in distress call God. May be some people may find you in agony and help. Then you will say that God sent them. If nobody comes and worst happens, you will say- This is God will. what man can do.
