GOD :Hello... Did you call me?
Me: Called you? No… who is this?
Me: I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually busy now. I am in the midst of something.. GOD : What are you busy at? Ants are busy too. Me: Don't know. But I cant find free time. Life has become hectic. It's rush hour all the time.
GOD : Sure.
Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results.
Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it. Me: I understand. But I still can’t figure it out.. By the way, I was not expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging chat. GOD : Well I wanted to resolve your fight for time, by giving you some clarity. In this net era, I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with.
Me: Tell me, why has life become complicated now?
GOD : Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated. Me: why are we then constantly unhappy?
GOD : Your
today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday.You are worrying
because you are analyzing. Worrying has become your habit. That's why
you are not happy.
Me: But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?
GOD : Uncertainty
is inevitable, but worrying is optional.
Me: But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty..
GOD : Pain
is inevitable, but suffering is optional.
Me: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?
GOD : Diamond
cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good
people go through trials, but don't suffer. With that experience their life
becomes better not bitter.
Me: You mean to say such experience is useful?
GOD : Yes.
In every terms, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and
the lessons afterwards.
Me: But
still, why should we go through such tests? Why can't we be free from
problems?
GOD : Problems
are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons
to Enhance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from
struggle and endurance, not when you are free from problems.
Me: Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don't know where we are heading..
GOD : If
you look outside you will not know where you are heading. Look inside. Looking
outside, you dream. Looking inside, you awaken. Eyes provide sight. Mind
provides insight.
Me: Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction. What should I do?
GOD : Success
is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as
decided by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than
knowing you rode ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the
clock.
Me: In tough times, how do you stay motivated?
GOD : Always
look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go. Always
count your blessing, not what you are missing.
Me: What surprises you about people?
GOD : when
they suffer they ask, "why me?" When they prosper, they never ask
"Why me". Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but few
want to be on the side of the truth.
Me: Sometimes I ask, who am I, why am I here. I can't get the answer.
GOD : Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be.
Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is
not a process of discovery but a process of creation.
Me: How can I get the best out of life?
GOD : Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence.
Prepare for the future without fear.
Me: One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.
GOD : There are no unanswered prayers. At times the answer is NO.
Me: Thank you for this wonderful chat. I am so happy to start the New Day with a new sense of inspiration.
GOD : Well. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Don't believe your
doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve, not a problem
to resolve.
