Nik Wallenda And The Grand Canyon

After reading the title of this post if anyone of you remember this name 'Nik Wallenda' then I would say that you are well informed. For the rest of you, just read the post ;). While most of you were busy watching some of your boring shitty daily soap or some sitcom or catching a movie, I was watching the Discovery channel. Now you all will be saying "yeah we know that you are a nerd and all nerds watch Discovery, it's the secret broadcasting network of all the nerds across the globe, so what's new about it." Well nothing much, just a guy walked across the Grand Canyon on a tight rope. If you just raced through the last line, I would repeat it for you. A GUY WALKED ACROSS THE GRAND CANYON ON A F'ING ROPE WITHOUT ANY SUPPORTING CABLE AND THERE WAS NO NET BELOW HIM TO SAVE HIM FROM THE FALL. Yeah now I got your attention, you all just love it when I curse, don't you ;) :).

Now some facts about the guy Nik Wallenda. He is a professional tight rope artist. So don't go on walking on a tight rope just coz I told you about him ;). I'll not be responsible for the consequences coz it's dangerous!! His family is doing the same thing for generations. They started this in the 1700s, so they are much more experienced then you & I ever will be. He has 7 world records to his credit. One of the coolest things he did, apart from walking across the canyon, is he has walked across THE NIAGRA FALLS on a tight rope. But as a legal constraint he had to wear a safety harness. According to me, this guy is a mixture of Superman and Spiderman. As he battles the wind, all the distractions, and still manages to stick to the rope no matter what ;) :).

Now as much as I would love to tell you more about his career and personal life, I won't bother you with the things which you can easily Google or can read on Wikipedia or Yahoo. But what you won't find anywhere else on the Internet is my piece of mind ;) :). The reason being that I observe things and try to to see beyond the ordinary. And having said that, no I am not superman :P ;) :). Although I would love to be ;), bye-bye airplanes and mind it, I would be the first ever Indian Superman ;) :). Anyways, what I observed was that, Nik was chanting GOD's name at every step he took on that tight-rope which was suspended 1500 feet above the ground. He was asking for salvation from the almighty at every step. In return, GOD tested his faith by sending a strong breeze towards him. Now you would say, "This is ridiculous, why would GOD do such a thing." Lets not go into why GOD did this, we'll get to that later. The real question here is, how Nik handled this windy welcome by GOD. He did not welcome the breeze with open arms, rather he sat down on that rope and still chanted GOD's name. That's all GOD needed to check, whether he was bluffing or not and he wasn't. Nik was doing his karma and while doing that he never let go of GOD. Resultant, the breeze slowed down and he continued his journey. What I meant to say is that, when we call out GOD to help us, don't think that GOD would just come running away for you, he has lots of other important work to do. Rather the almighty throws us into harder tides, just to call our bluff. It's up to us whether we want to wait for GOD to come to our help and let us drown ourselves or to fight the tide and be welcomed into his embrace.

When Nik again started walking, the second thing which I observed was that he thanked GOD, continued his journey and also his chants. Again after sometime, the staff, that he was using to balance himself, got heavier and his feet began to hurt, he again sat down and asked GOD for salvation. Again GOD rewarded his faith by replenishing his energy due to which he was able to finish his act successfully. Now you would say, "If GOD believed in his faith earlier then why his faith was challenged again?" This time it wasn't his faith that GOD challenged, GOD tested his humility. GOD wanted to see whether he had grown arrogant because of the opportunity that he was bestowed upon or was he grateful for the gift that he had received.

Now, here I would like to point out a few things that, according to me, you should keep in mind. If your karma is bad then don't expect GOD to come to your rescue any time sooner. You'll have to wait longer then everybody else. But don't loose your faith, just hang in there, repent for your bad karma. Also if you think that your life is a constant struggle then it's quite possible that GOD has called your bluff ;) :). Or you are missing out on something which is holding you back. Just back off a little, try to join the missing puzzles of your problem, repent for your (known/unknown) sins, and ask for salvation. If you aren't bluffing this time then I am sure GOD will help you out.

If anyone of you think that today you are in a shitload of trouble then please be patient, don't loose your hope and faith in GOD, he's just testing you. Also if you are those lucky ones who are in phase 2 of your testing, then never forget your past, where you have came from, who you were. Also don't just sit at the sidelines all your life, get down, do what you always wanted to do. Don't be afraid of failure, just concentrate on your target and let GOD take care of the rest. Remember there isn't anyone in this whole world who hasn't faced any challenges, failures or retaliation (when I say retaliation, I don't mean retaliation against an anarchy, everybody has the right to be free). Everybody falls, but a real person is the one that gets up, dusts off his clothes and keeps on walking. Take care and keep smiling ;) :)..
