Everyday I see kids coming unwillingly to the assembly at
the starting of the day. This plight of absence of the students in the assembly
forces me to think do they really not have time to offer prayers or do they
have a difference in thinking in this criteria too..
I discussed this issue with the educators as well as the
students. The adults believe that whatever we are and whatever we get totally
depends on God’s wishes and blessings. So, it is necessary to offer Him prayers
for the same as a mode of connection. On the other part, students who have
modernized themselves believe in one’s own ‘Karma’. The opposition from their
part is that we get everything on the type of Karma that we do, the hard-work
which we do. The kids find it boring to attend the assemblies which follow the
same old pattern. I have seen kids bunking the assembly for a last-minute
revision. According to their mindset, a last-minute revision would help in
scoring some marks whereas an assembly or a prayer would bore them no fruits.
Scientifically opposing them, a last-minute revision would definitely help them
score few more marks, but the mind which is tired due to exertion of studies
would need a five minute break from the same to be fresh. This helps in
maintaining the fluidity of answers coming up in their minds. So why not, for
their own sake, students should relax their minds in the form of a prayer?
Also, the ones who do not believe in hard-work and only
wish to move ahead only by offering prayers at different temples do not utilize
their time in doing hard-work or good deeds. They think that God would listen
to their prayers and make their life simple which contrasts the matter
discussed ahead. This leaves the child confused
whether he should be as strong believer in God or Karma?
