Gauhar with Mamu

Few days ago my sister and 5 year old daughter ( Gauhar ) were here. I was lots of fun and how last two weeks passed god only knows.

On that note I remember a simple conversation between her and my dad, here it goes.

My dad does his daily prayers, which takes around approximately 30 minutes to complete.

My niece used to sit next to him most of the days during this time. Here is one very intresting question she posed to dad,

Nanu, why do we pray ?

Instead of answering her dad asked her

Why don’t you tell, why do we pray

And her simple reply was:

Because god give us everything we need!

The world for a 5 year old is so simple, I hope for her god remains as simple as “we pray and he give”

God is simple let not make him/her complicated.

Had written something similar long time back. Will put it up when i find it.
