A Very Good Wisdom for All

This is an excellent conversation between 'God' and an unknown ' -

'Me'. I don't know as to who has been the composer of such an

interesting and captivating conversation ; but has he/she has

definitely put in good amount of thought into crafting the same. *

Those who don't believe in God, may also find it worth reading once.

Enjoy and Think ! *

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.

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 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 your road 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 merely a process of discovery but a process of co-creation. You are my co-creator.

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.

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. 'Life is not

measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that took our breath away!
