Hello friends! First of
all, a very warm welcome and greetings to you. I Mr. Rahul Revne , is back
again with some motivational stories and life changing articles that will
surely evoke a ray of hope and undoubtedly flood of unshakeable faith in your
hearts. Today I will present before you an article with a true story of a man,
more familiarly known as “The miracle man”.
Today that we are “living” most preferably “surviving” in this 21st
century life is described as monotonous and we humans as ideal machines. In
this journey of life some people succeed while some blame their circumstances,
some listen to their inner voice while some follow the crowd. Whether you are
counted in the list of the fortune 500 or in the list of people who strive for
their daily bread, life continuous to be a permanent tragedy. Problems are
ought to be the part and parcel of life. As it is rightly said, “if the
almighty has locked the doors , then he also has the keys to unlock them”.
Do you know that where
are all the keys to your problems hidden? The keys to your problem are hidden
in the “3 gems of life”. Now certainly your question will be what are the 3
gems of life? Well if you ask this to a catholic he will say “the holy bible”.
A muslim will say “the holy quran” and a hindu will say “ shreemad bhagvad
gita”. These are the evergreen jewels of life whose laws never faint or rust
and shall hold true for the generations to come.
A real life story always
seems to be more appealing than just huge philosophical sentences. So now I
will narrate a real life incident that took place and this story will surely
enable you to believe in these 3 jewels.
Once upon a time a
dreadful or you can say life changing incident took place in a persons life. A
person named Morris Goodman crashed the air plane on 10th march 1981.
That was really a terrible one as he was paralyzed below his neck. His neck
vertebrae in medical terminology called as cervical vertebrae were completely damaged.
He had lost his control over his body as he was not able to make any leg or
hand movements. He was unable to have his food on his own. Life had took him to
such a stage where he couldn’t even breathe by himself. You all might be
thinking that such a man who is devoid of a single body part in his control has
no hope for living. But this man had
desire in him to live. Where all doctors said that he would never be able to
walk again he refused to believe in the doctors. He listened to his heart. The raging
faith in his heart shouted within, “ I will walk out of this hospital this
Christmas on my own feet”.
I would like to present
the dialogue of lord shri krishna that he had told to the great warrior of
pandavas called ARJUN.
“satvanurupa sarvasya shraddha
bhavati bharata,
Shraddhamayo yam puruso
yo yac chraddaha sa yev sah”.
Which means the faith of
everyone comes according to the perceptions of mind. O arjuna the living
personality is nothing but embodiment of faith. One is identified by whatever
faith one has. Mr. morris goodman had a faith that he will walk on his feet by
this Christmas which enabled him to make the necessary efforts. The expert
faculty of doctors suggested for a 9 hour
long operation and also advised that out of the
100 only 1 could survive. The doctors asked whether he was ready to take
risk. If yes please blink your eyes. Mr.
goodman blinked his eyes in sheer faith. Mr. Morris Goodman was that 1 out of 100. He
came out successfully through this operation. Once he heard a recording of a
motivational speaker, Mr. zig ziglar saying that “when you turn on a light
switch, you don’t create electric power but you simply release the power that
is there all the time”. Mr. goodman reached deep within to summon that power! After
operation every time the respirator took a breath for him, he tried to inhale
on his own. First he tried to inhale 100 then 200 then 300 and finally he was
breathing without a respirator. Now this was a completely astonishing situation
for doctors as well as the nurses. He began with some finger movements as his
daily exercise. He began to move his arms and feet after a long series of
practice and perseverance. He also focused on relearning motor skills. He was
given different shaped pegs and holes. A particular shaped peg is to be kept in
an appropriate shaped hole. In the beginning, the game seemed very easy but
when he actually started it, it was a painstaking task for him!
But he did not quit even
when there was no sign of success.
During his practice, he
faced many obstacles, many challenges. He also faced some wicked comments by
his ward mates of the hospital. But he did not lose faith. He was so much
filled in faith that even the bitter tasting tablets did not fade his belief.
The holy Quran also has its own word to say,
“lose not heart nor fall
into despair for you will be superior if you are true in faith”.
This man who had made a
commitment to walk on his own feet this Christmas was overwhelming with faith
day by day. He wholeheartedly believed that he can walk. And so he did! As the
December arrived, this man was no more a person who can only blink his eyes but
an outstanding example who can walk in the wards amidst the patients without
any support. He had started a new chapter
of life. He was the only ray of hope for the patients to work towards recovery.
A patient who had fallen
off from a ladder was said by a doctor that he would be a quadriplegic who would be paralyzed for
all four limbs.
But he gained his
motivation from Mr. goodman. The patient believed that “if you put your mind to
it, then nothing is impossible”. And that patient recovered from his paralysis
and walks absolutely normal. He offered his gratefulness to Mr. goodman.
This is no less than a
miracle! Isn’t it? Look what a great difference a faith can do. Faith is beyond
your intelligence. When thousands say a loud “no” to you, faith says more
louder “yes” to you. Whatever you believe you become. Today the worlds need is
not a professional doctor with huge degrees but a doctor who can light the
flame of faith unto his patients. The world of technology is lacking engineers
who have faith in doing the impossible and business world is in an urgent need
for an entrepreneur who not only works with his employees but also boasts them
in faith so that great leaders can be created …. And not mere followers!! There
are many verses on faith in the holy bible among which one of them is given
below,
“If you have faith as
small as the mustard seed you can say to this mountain, “move from here to
there” and it will move
Nothing will be
impossible for you”.
I would like to sum up by
a thought that when you have hope in your heart, there will be faith and where there is faith, miracles happen.
Always have an immortal faith in you before yearning for fame. Because when you
are filled in faith, you will be a miracle ….. and not a mistake!!!
