God is not in temples !!!

Its when some incident or some person silences the chirping inside you, silences the song in you that you yearn to find God... Instead of trying to find God in white marble floored temples we just need to visit a hospital....
Its in those corridors and rooms filled with IV tubes, blood stains, medicine smells and injections that we see how people relate to God the most. With every wail and cry, with every prescription that the doctor writes , with every wheel chair being pushed towards the opertaion theatre and with every sign of recovery the patients make, God is remembered...
No temple can evoke the desperation of those eyes praying in the hospital..No temple can jolt us into believeing that there is a higher self ,just like a saved ,dear one, at the hospital can do...

I guess its human...To be oblivious about things until it hits us on our face... And so we remain oblivious to the fact that just visiting the temple doesnt connect us to God... Its the faith, its the patience, its the hope and most importantly, its the Karma that allowes glimpses of the higher self...
And thats coz , its never a power seperate from us, its all in us, just waiting for us to awaken and get in touch with it..
