Jor se bolo JAI MATA DI
My recent trip to Vaishnodevi was more of a thought provoking trip; of course there was some religious intent as well. While climbing THE hill, I observed lots of disciples from all over the country. I was literally dumbstruck to see such a huge crowd even after considering the fact that it was the vacation time.
It was a good experience on a personal level. I enjoyed the scenery and the feeling to be in the clouds! Worked hard to climb initially-took 3.5 h to go up and scintillating 1.75 h while coming down. I was just wondering how people can trust mules with their lives. It’s so dangerous! After doing all the hard work, when you reach THE place, you are not allowed to be there for more than a second. It’s so frustrating! But then you don’t utter a word as you are supposed to behave humanely.
I heard one thing all along the journey- “Jor se bolo JAI MATA DI”. People were literally going crazy over these three magical words. People, at least half of them don’t follow God functionally, don’t take responsibility for their actions and never miss an opportunity to bully others. Is this the way MATA tells their disciples to lead? People make themselves proud of visiting Vaishnodevi every year. But how many of them actually take the lesson back home? Is visiting the place good enough? No. Its not! Now the question is why do we have to wear masks? We either believe in something or we don’t! And if we do, why don’t we follow that with our full heart? Similarly, if we don’t believe in something, why do we have to do that? Just to show others? Or we all know in our hearts about what is wrong and what is right. It’s all so confusing.Now the biggest irony is that most of the people are in between the state of believing and being ignorant. So, they can’t decide which way to go and finally end up doing something which their own self doesn’t believe in. This leads to low self belief and even lesser satisfaction level.And until there is no satisfaction, there is no scope for a perfect happiness!

a good attempt to make the reader of this post do some self introspection. it shows that you do not believe in hypocrisy, especially not with the lord,and the first step towards that is by being true to urself. Left me with a good feeling.. that of content, coz i too feel the same way. glad to know there are thinkers like you. keep blogging!
half the people go there for a vacation, and most of the others go because they assume that any abode of god is a well to cast their sins in, so that they can start sinning again. Very few are the true disciples!!
i went there for a good purpose but lost everything ... lost something that was more than my life for me... its all CRAP
