Healed of injuries from rickshaw accident
I was heading for my workplace on a Wednesday morning. I was traveling in a cycle rickshaw toward a main road, when suddenly the rickshaw was hit by a speeding motorbike. The impact was so sudden and extreme that I was thrown out of my seat, landing on the road on all fours.
I was in a state of complete shock, and it took me about two minutes to get up. I got back into the rickshaw, then realized that I had a badly wounded little finger on my left hand, a small injury on the palm of my right hand, and injuries to the calf of my left leg and the knee of my right leg. There was also severe pain in both my shoulders.
This was a head-on collision that I believed could easily have been averted, and I was very angry and upset with both the man on the motorbike and the rickshaw driver. But after about five minutes, it dawned on me that I needed to look at those involved in this situation as God would. I needed to acknowledge the spiritual innocence of everyone involved.
