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 cant 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 cant 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: 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: 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. 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.
