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 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.
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. Life is not measured by the
number of breaths we take but by the
moments that took our breath away!
