'Dear Father,
When I was 10 yrs old.. Mother said, “Go to the temple, Pray to God and come back. The Almighty takes care of you!”
Along with that she reminded me of the procedures to follow there..
I was too enthusiastic.. Went there and exactly did what my mother told but for the final ringing the bell as I had to jump since I couldn't reach that height, I was harshly told by the Authorities to go away and not to cause nuisance in the Premises leaving me totally confused and tensed up at that tender age..
You instantly rose to the occasion.. You intervened and made it clear to the Authorities that children are the Incarnation of God and it was wrong to admonish me who was devotedly doing what others do with my own limitation..

Restoring my confidence back to 100%!
Soon I had grown to a young adolescent of 18 and constant questioning / advices started pouring into my ears from you shaking my confidence a bit temporarily..
- “What happened to the work I asked you to finish yesterday?”
- “I told you to go and talk to that man and tell him.... Why did you not do that and wasted the whole day?”
- “Go to the place, wait till the man turns out, talk to him and tell him….!”
- “Dear! In your age, you know.. I had taken up a big responsibility of..... These are also like that only!”
- “OK! You might have done this now, but don’t relax..Tomorrow, we are together going and getting the monthly needs for our house!”
As planned we both went there, I was made to involve in buying and bringing all that stuff in a small open van along with you. On the way as the vehicle maneuvered a steep up, it suddenly swiveled and rested on the edge of the road tilting precariously towards the side slope..
You instantly jumped out of the vehicle shouting,
- "Dear! Leave everything and get down first!"
Restoring my confidence back to 100%!
Finally, when I being a grown up personality of mid 30s was in the process of changing over my job, you wished me all the best along with a simple caution..
- "I may be none here to intervene as the present crucial decision may help you to come up further better in your life and a few times may not help you and instead may create a problem.. Discuss the matter in detail with your colleagues and other contemporary well wishers keeping my doubt fresh in the mind.. Best Wishes.. I'm sure you would be a success!"
Ticking that confidence almost a 100%!
My Endless Regards and Thanks for the Noble Job you did in bringing me up to a personality level of laudable worth and confidence from almost nothing standing by my side all the time strongly supporting me all along!'
