4 Problem solving tools
God helps those who help themselves.
But How?
To reach God: you need to communicate with him.
To communicate, you need to pray as you don’t get to him by any other way.
A prayer bereft of feelings of Love is like…a lake without water.
Love flourishes when it is propagated with humility.
Humility nourishes the mind…individually as well as collectively, when it is executed in a group by a set/sets of minds too.
That’s how it gets to happen, it can be safely concluded.
Then why the confusion?
Through thoughtless intrusion?
Why the intrusion of non loving negative thoughts into the human minds, mindsets?
They bring in negative energy…and no synergy with the creator.
Ultimately; they get us to sap our energy.
On introspection it dawned on me that such attacks are meant to happen.
By nature…and get to happen too…as they need to be zapped by the 4 problem solving tools we have at our disposal, 24*7.
As a solution, gift, from the almighty.
As an armor…to wear.
And to smear…on our consciousness.
In any part of the world and in any language one common feature does happen.
Humans communicate.
In whatever language they have developed over there over centuries.
But all over the world there is only one form of communication that can happen without any language, and that is:
Love.
Love is a feeling and needs no language to propagate or to happen.
Love is humbly reached, reaches, helps reach, binds, bonds, finds, and helps find too.
Love is omnipotent.
Hence God must have chosen this medium to enable us to reach him.
Only those who are humble get to love and be loved too, as true love is encompassed only within the confines of humility.
To be humble one has to be more of a giver and less of a taker.
As the more you give the more you get to get.
Love begets Love.
When one gets to that stage one is on the path of spirituality.
Away from desires…wants, and closer to needs.
As God fulfills needs.
As you would have by default, by then, bridged the gap between him and you.
Whew!
What a lovely view.
From the spiritual pew…for all and not for few.
One begins to perceive and see the shape of a bridge.
Resting on the ridge.
Connecting.
Beckoning.
A bridge that spans its way to the almighty…A spiritual bridge.
Spirituality is the bridge between mankind and the almighty.
Spanning towards him invisibly, but firmly.
As bridges are built on pylons.
Pylons bear the loads and shape the bridge.
Visibly speaking.
The four main load bearing pylons of the invisible bridge that connects us, to our creator, are:
• Prayer
• Communication
• Love
• Humility
It’s this bridge that bridges the gap between the creator and the created.
Bridges are built on ridges or, over water bodies…as water is a force to reckon with.
Problems also are forces to reckon with.
Perpetual in nature.
They tend to revolve.
Hence they need to be bridged too…with a firm resolve.
To solve…evolve…and to stop the revolve.
Using the invisible bridge.
No wonder then, problems get to dissolve as they take the shape and state of water under the bridge, when one begins to walk/ stumble upon/trundle/scamper/run on, or begin to get to go, in some way or the other, towards, or on,this bridge.
The invisible bridge, on the ridge of problems, that leads to the almighty.
The connector…to the nectar.

This advice might make you feel better, but it is just cloaking you in a cloud of delusion. Like it or not, there is no God, Allah, Vishnu, or Zeus. Get over it!
The advice is profound. I would like to set a correction. Our Creator is real, whether people would like to admit it or not. In the day of their death, they will meet Him; to realize their life was a wasted effort into existence.
I agree, loving is the channel to God. Yet, the struggle we have as humans comes because as Scriptures tell us, we have an inner fight against the Spirit because those who have trusted in Him to save us still have the flesh that is evil.
By the way, God does not help those who help those who help themselves; he is in the business of helping those who cannot help themselves. There is nothing we can do to get to Him, except as you noted: to humble ourselves and ask Him to redeem us from our lost state. It is a awesome thing that He has regarded our helpless state and sent us salvation through His only Son, Jesus.
In Him is love materialized and demonstrated. It is easy for a man to love those show love unto him. Even some would dare to give up his life for others who love him. But few would die for those who dispitefully use them and hate them. Yet, on the cross on Calvary, Jesus did just that. He gave his life so that others can live as they believe on His sacrifice that quenches the wrath of God becuase of our original sin. Have a Grand day!
