''god helps those who help themselves '' who says ?

Answer 1

PRIME SOUL, ALMIGHTY, CREATION AND WE ARE ONE :-
Till now, whatever topic that has come in front – in that that the advice of taking divine path and worshiping it to get it has much been talked about. But, god ( Almighty ) is not a substance to be lost or to be found. Neither ‘he’ get pleased by your worship and offerings, nor does he get irritated for being scolded. This sky of infinity is the prime soul and we are in it. The earth is in a size of a needle tip in comparison to its whole body. It pervades every where. It is not separate from you and you are not separate from it. Then, who are searching for ? Inside and outside of you, every where its representation is visible. If you think “I” am here; then also prime soul is there. If you think “I am not here”, still prime soul is there. Neither anything is lost by you, nor are you going to get anything. Try it ! try standing on one leg for thousand years carrying out penance.

If the worship of a special manner had any power in it, then the bus packed with pilgrims would not have fallen to the pit down hill. And, you wouldn’t have spent rest of your life being crippled. Your deeds and circumstances decides your destiny. You consider somebody a god whom you don’t know at all the body of the prime soul is this creation only. The sun, moon are parts of this creation, and these human beings are tiny part of the same. Likewise, if the sun and moon are gods then you also are Gods. Thus, God’s existence is not effected whether you worship or not. Off course, it is a truth that the materials used for worshiping are mind purifiers for their sacred odor or properties.

This universal setup is preprogrammed as a video games in a certain manner. The ‘remote control’ to run it properly is only in your hand. Miss it ! and the game is over.

The course of development is Darwin’s Evolution Principle is stated as – no human civilization was present in the beginning, but human being is the result of series of development that occurred to a creature. From a four legged creature only human being got its present form by straightening up its spine to become caveman, and got the present purified form long time after that. The day spine gets properly straighten up, it will turn into a species having divine personality.

In the mind of stone, it longed for producing something superior that it. This resulted in the creation of river. The river wanted something superior than itself – the vegetation got produced. From the vegetation, animals of superior qualities were created, and then creation of human being took place like this, the serial development is going on. In the mind of everyone creating something superior than itself is wished, after lot of transformations human being will achieve divinity, and it will get merged with the Almighty then every inert or conscious of the creation is the combine representation of germs and atoms. The sky stretched infinitely. The hugeness of it can never be described in words. With, even billions of year of journey we cannot major the sky in any direction. The whole creation represent the combined or reduced (energy, gas) form of atoms and germs. Like this, the creation is an unit. A tiny part – like molecule of sand, molecule of clay, molecule of water, a plant of vegetation, a part of machine, a creature, we are self- activated part of the creation. Feeding on and digesting one another or shaking hands with nature we change our forms, the shape is made ore get destroyed, but the quantity remains the same. Starting from a small molecule to the bigger spheres, all of them are bound to an automatic system as if they follow certain law or regulation. Just because they are made from ‘energy’, all of them are independent and are on motion.

Our body is also a self-run machine. In that, there are several systems which controls and activates different functions and particulars of the body. During the process of development in a creature……………

God is prime element, which is converted into creation. In other words in the sky of infinity this infinitely existing, is called god, who is associated with all visible and invisible. God is an existence. We are part of it, like a molecule in a stone. The molecule of infinity as a whole is called a stone. Likewise a small existence of god in every molecule is a prime truth. Effect of creation is called nature and being self processed.

Answer 2

Hey pramod_bh... p,

I am not a bible toting religious fanatic. That said, the bible says that.

I agree too. If you help yourself, you do get better. Take a course in something you are interested in; stop some self destructive behavior; you are helping yourself - and your opportunities open up. If you do not believe in God, your opportunities still open up! Hey, this is a Win Win proposition. So, go help yourself in some way, and keep helping yourself by learning, and trying to be a Great Human Being. You will be happier, and so will all that meet you.

Helping yourself can be in the mind and spiritual sense too. Seek gods help by praying.

Here are many many sites that you can read about this topic!

Answer 3

It is an age old saying. The origin can not be traced to history. But still it is a fact. It is the sermon of life and a way of living.
Those who have faith in God, simply go on doing their job and in the process their jobs are facilitated by God. There is not an element of doubt in it.

Answer 4

Question: "God helps those who help themselves - is it in the Bible?"



Answer: "God helps those who help themselves" is probably the most often quoted Bible verse that actually is not in the Bible. In fact the Bible teaches the opposite. God helps the helpless! Isaiah 25:4 declares, "For You have been a defense for the helpless, a defense for the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat..." Romans 5:6 tells us, "For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly."
In terms of salvation, we are all utterly helpless. We are all infected by sin (Romans 3:23), and condemned as a result of that sin (Romans 6:23). Nothing we can do on our own can remedy this situation (Isaiah 64:6). We are helpless! Thankfully, God is the helper of the helpless. While we were still sinners (helpless), Jesus died for us (Romans 5:8). Jesus paid the penalty that we were helpless to pay (2 Corinthians 5:21). God provided the "help" that we need precisely because we could not help ourselves.

Apart from salvation, there is perhaps a way that the concept "God helps those who help themselves" is correct. As an example, if you asked me to help you move a piece of furniture, but then just watched me as I moved the furniture for you...I was not actually helping you. I was would be doing the work for you. Many Christians fall into the trap of inactivity. Many Christians ask God for help, but then expect God to do everything Himself. They excuse this by pointing to the fact that God will provide according to His will and in His timing. However, this is not a reason for inactivity. As a specific example, if you are in need of a job, ask the Lord to help you find a job - but then be active in actually looking for a job. While it is in His power to do so, it is highly unlikely that God will cause employers to come looking for you!


Does God help those who help themselves? In regards to salvation - no. No one is capable of helping themselves. God has provided for our salvation through Jesus Christ. We are utterly helpless in achieving our own salvation. In regards to the Christian life - sometimes yes. God will help us to accomplish His will in and through our lives...but God expects us to be active and energetic while seeking to accomplish His will. God rarely "helps" a person who is unwilling to participate in the process.

God helps those who help themselves


God will not come to the aid of those who refuse to try; we must exert ourselves if we want to succeed. 1

Answer 6

Well it makes sense doesn't it? I mean if you pray to God that you need a job, and never fill out a resume and never go to an interview, you will never get a job. But if you pray to God that you need a job and begin searching and doing everything in your power, he will help you to secure a job.

Answer 7

I do!
God can present opportunities to you, but it's up to you to go after them.
You can't just sit at home and pray for God to help you get a job. You actually have to go out and interview.

Answer 8

A person who does not expect God to help, instead hopes that God would put all the possible hurdles and difficult situations, to afford full use of capabilities, to afford a full bloom of the bud.

Answer 9

for example; you need water; god has provided it but you have to build a pump and get it from the ground yourself; god helps those who help themselves means god has provided what you need, you need to get it together and use it to help yourself

Answer 10

experience says. if you will not do any effort and will not believe on ur efforts then no one will come to help you as no one like to travel in the sinking boat. and efforts make u strong and strength and believe is God. that is it.
