Conversation With God

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.
