OMG !

‘Oh My God’ has become just an expression these days, isn’t it so? At least I have used it without remembering God in my mind……Sometimes even a person who don’t believe in God might say it (well, am not sure, to be frank). There is this story of ‘Oh God’…

When a disciple did a great job, he was awarded with a special horse. The head priest told him

"when you want to make the horse move, say ‘Oh God’ and if you say it again, the horse will move more fast and you can stop the horse by saying ‘Thank you God’ "

Disciple mounted the horse and proceeded towards a mountain saying ‘Oh God’… He got excited and said ‘Oh God’ again and again…the horse moved faster and faster and he saw that it is proceeding towards a cliff… He panicked and forgot what to do. Finally he remembered the words to stop the horse and he said :

“Thank you God”

and the horse stopped. He realized that they were standing at the tip of the cliff and it was a narrow escape…. in a relief he said :

“Oh God”

We can guess what might have happened …..

From today on, I will try to remember God, whenever I hear or say ‘ OMG’ ….
