Mind of my Stroked Brain

 I was recently chatting with someone who said "have faith in God he will make things ok definitely".  In that context they were referring to life in general, but I am very intimately familiar with this advice, especially after my stroke - referring to both general and particular things. "Have faith in God, he will make things alright", "have faith in a particular God and  ​you  will become alright", "trust in God and you will speak again", etc, etc. Everyone - family, friends, well-wishers, nurses, even my doctors have said it at many stages. Curious though - approximately > 90% of them have referred to God as a "He". I don't know why and what drives the certainty about the "he"...  Usually, if they are from a generation older, the advice is not unconditional. It will be followed by "say some chant X times everyday" , "say some prayer everyday", " do something everyday", etc . One thing is

This need belief in God and rebirth. But if true, it's funny 😂 Almighty: "Ah welcome". Me: "Nice place. A little too white for my liking". Almighty: "What took you so long? You were scheduled to arrive long back." Me: "I am sorry. I had everything organized back then. Last minute glitch in plans. I couldn't free myself in time. I have been trapped since. Very painful and long years". Almighty: "Well, better late than never I guess." Me: "Yup. That's all that matters. So what's the next assignment?" Almighty: "Nothing." Me: "what do you mean?" Almighty: "Well, my records say you have completed the 1,000,000 lives and there are no more assignments." Me: "But, but, I am cheated. I didn't have a full life. I want to go back and have a full and complete time." Almighty: "Well, this one was full and complete long time back. I don't know what you were doing hanging

I have come across many theories of life, karma etc. One of them is regarding rebirth. Of course there is a big interlinking with the karma philosophy; but also about desires. Unfulfilled desires to be specific. If one has fulfilled all desires in this life and does not desire anything more, then they are closer to a chance at breaking the cycle of rebirth. Conversely, if one has any unfulfilled desires in this life, that desire is probably a sure shot ticket to rebirth. Just in case I am late to the platform of the rebirth bus, In the past 3 years, I must have bought a million of those tickets across all buses, trains and planes. I shouldn't have trouble getting to the destination. So please be considerate, kind and gentle towards the planet. I have to come and inherit it....
