A 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 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 & 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 with a new sense of inspiration.

God : Well. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Don't
believe your doubts & 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.

nice post..
