Dear Friends
Hope you find this inspiring.
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 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 areheading...
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.
MEHow?
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.
Thanks to ah BAG for sending this wonderful email to mee.
