A Chat With GOD
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 lives 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 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. 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. Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how
to live.
I received this forwarded mail from a friend.I like this phrase "Face your past without
regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for
the future without fear. "
