Chat 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 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 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. Courtesy: Balaji
