Its a great coincidence and a very real story happened to the friend of mine. Her name is Sangeeta. She was the product of Vidyamandir School‚ passed out higher school exam (10th grade)in the year 1993 with 93%,without any coaching. As she belonged to lower middle class family she definitely could not afford coaching outside. And with the father of a very strict nature, poor Sangeeta always used to be worried about her future.
Because once her father told her, ''what difference your studies will make in my family.. You will get married and will go out one day.. let me spend amount of my bread butter on my Son's education though he is not that bright in studies..., ’Sangeeta your higher secondary school exam (12th grade) marks will decide whether I should give you permission for further studies or not". And in same year before turning 18 only father started talking about marriage stuff. With the hiccups of fear and equal stress of 12th grade studies she firmly engaged herself in her routine .
And the The day arrived. Poor girl with bright photographic memory all prepared for exam‚ got the exam center far from her place. She managed to reach there by train and then bus.
1st day gone... 2nd.... 3rd..... ....4rth day....little scared‚ gaining n losing confidence‚ hoping to finish all exams properly‚ all unwanted mood swings of father this everything Sangeeta was living throughout the year. But all her well wishers knew that she's gonna top again.
last day of the exam came. Sangeeta got off the train in hurry and started walking towards bus stop. As a routine she boarded the bus. And when checked pocket she had 2 Rs less for the ticket. She checked it again and again but could not see anything. Knowing that the conductor stopped the bus and told her to get off the bus. Now that was the time and situation burst her mind... Disturbed Sangeeta out of frustration‚ got off the bus and started crying out of anger. Shivering and crying out loud with all heat within and fear inside looked up the sky and started thinking that what went wrong??? Whats my mistake??. but she knew that she can not afford to miss her exam. She decided to calm down and pray . Walked few minutes and went to nearby temple where she used to peeped out of the bus window and took blessings of lord Shiva.
Helpless Sangeeta went in and chose to sit in the corner of the temple where no one could see her cry. She joined her hands to almighty with tear in her eyes. And said,"Ohh dear God please help me ... You know everything... You know how I am suffering every moment" and she bowed down.
All the devotees were busy in chanting mantras, hymns, offerings. The peaceful sound of bells and divine fragrance of flowers in the temple released her emotions and made her calm. She was at peace, far away from all the tentions created by the situation. She saw everything she lived till now like film in front of her eyes. There was only peace and peace and peace. When she opened her watery eyes with tears rolling on her face she saw 2 Rs coin laying near her knees.
Amazed with Gods grace she kept her palm quickly on the coin and started looking here and there. Feeling of receiving ultimate treasure she jumped and laughed out loud with tears of happiness. She ran to bus stop with happiness and giggling and dancing. Knew that the God is with me now. She went to exam center and appeared for exam.
She did it. She passed out the exams with amazing marks and won scholarship for her further studies.
Friends for us its a coincidence but for Sangeeta it was a ticket for her brighter future. If the efforts are honest and true in the time of obstacles God comes and whiiisperrss in your ear.
'I am with you'.
