Whichever religion one believes in, blessings and guidance are the things that most people are seeking in order to overcome their pains and hurdles in their daily lives.
However, many times blessings many not come at the time of need. The reason is because there should be a conducive environment to receive the blessings. When this does not happen then many believers tend to have doubts in their beliefs. For instance, there is a general belief that blessing is like a hook and devotion is a like ring and without our devotion, hook cannot really pull us. In order for that to happen we need to create a favourable environment. This means that a lot depends on us and not just the awakened ones. I personally think that not just simply believing in any religion, but our belief should be based on acquiring three wisdoms Firstly, by listening to the right teaching or advice from qualified teachers. Secondly, by contemplating on the teachings that we have heard or read. Finally, whatever we have learnt and listened to, we must put into practice. These are the best ways to accomplish our goals.
