SPIRITUAL INSPIRATION : GOD AND I BY JASPAL BHATTI

I believe in the existence of God and I am God-fearing.
The universe has originated due to some super power.
In the wide ocean we are like a small drop.

My faith in God has never been shaken.
And I am grateful to him for the fame and success that I have today.
I have never asked Him for anything, nor have I ever taken a mannat .
Religion is an individual and private matter.


If a few people sit down and discuss religion I feel that they will soon argue, but if they discuss humour they will laugh and enjoy themselves.
Humour and laughter bind people. Humour dissolves arguments and builds a rapport.
It dispels gloom. Laughter brings us closer to God.
It transcends limitations and takes us deeper into reality.


Love and laughter brings people closer to the Almighty I am thankful to Him
for the sense of humour he has blessed me with.
I believe that work is worship and for me humour is like a religion.

I think it's important to look at life and at society with humour,
because then we can cope with things in a better way.


I always look at the lighter side of the problem.
My childhood has been a religious one.

Till the age of 10, I lived with my grandparents, who instilled in me religious values.
As a kid I spent a lot of time in the Gurudwara with them and at home reading religious books.


My grandmother who is now 90 plus has largely influenced me.
I am not superstitious, but everyone suggested that I break a coconut for the mahurat of my serial Flop Show because it is considered auspicious - but I made a black cat run before the camera.
People consider black cats a bad omen. I don't think so. And the Flop Show was a hit!

One has to work if one wants to achieve something in life; one has to make the best of opportunities that come in life rather than sit and wait for things to happen.

I believe in the teachings of Bhagvad Gita - Do your duty, leave the rest to Him.
Whatever work one does, one must do it with delight and not as if it is a burden.

I never wear any precious stones nor have changed the spelling of my name yet! I pray to God to give me inner strength and faith to go on in life, so I don't have to look elsewhere for strength.

In life, ups and downs are natural.

But I never lose faith in myself. I am grateful to God for all that he has blessed me with.

I never complain to Him nor have been angry with Him.

I feel that religion has been commercialised today, religious practitioners feel threatened by other religions.

The so-called religious heads should give up their fanaticism.

Religion is a personal matter.

People should learn to respect all religions and ultimately aim to be good human beings.
