Conversation
With God
God : Hello. Did you call me?
Me : Called you? No. Who is this?
God : This is GOD. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will
chat.
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 can't 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 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
become better not bitter.
Me: You mean to say such experience is useful?
God : Yes. In every term, 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. Heart
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 I am, 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: 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 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. Trust me. Life is wonderful if
you know how to live.
