you should be thankful, perhaps there was some bigger trouble
headed your way but you have been saved by a regular fever.
What is the right way of worshipping God? This is your personal
choice. You can worship any God in any manner that you want to. All
ways of worshipping lead to the same destination. You can use
different names for water, but it will remain what it is. Similarly, there
are different names for the same God.
You do not have to waste time in figuring out which God is the best
one, which religion is the best one or which way of worshipping is the
best. You must make your journey in the path of your choice. All
paths ultimately lead to the same destination. Everyone has the right
to choose their own paths. You have to worship God with faith, belief
and devotion.
If you ask me, I chant mantras at least for two hours every day— one
hour during the meditation session, and one hour while doing some
other activity such as watching TV or while working on the computer.
Whenever you have time recite a prayer or chant a mantra. You do
not have to show off anything—just keep on chanting mantras.
Moving around, while doing any work, if you keep the Almighty's
name on your lips you will find true wisdom in life. Negativity will go
away completely, you will not get wrong thoughts, and even if you do
get negative thoughts, they will not remain in your mind for a long
duration. You will feel stronger from within, you will be able to say no
to wrong things, you will not have any attraction towards any
addiction, and even if you have wrong people around you, you will
be able to remain on the right moral path. You will gradually be able
to identify the wrong habits within and you will also be able to quit
them. You will stop judging people, stop being prejudiced, you will
have more control on your mind and your mental state will be such
that you will experience eternal joy all the time. You can choose your
guru as per your liking, the one who can help you lead a spiritual life.
Life gets easier after finding a guru; you start seeing the right
direction.
