Guest guest Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 SMS FROM GOD........... GOD: Hello. You called me. I, Me, Myself (IMM): Called you? No, who is this? GOD: This is God. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat with you. IMM: Sure, I pray. Just makes me feel good. Actually, am busy now. In the midst of something, you know. GOD: What are you busy with? Ants are busy, too. IMM: 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. IMM: 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 help you resolve your fight for time by giving you some clarity. I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with. IMM: Tell me, why has life become so complicated? GOD: Stop analysing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated. IMM: Why are we then constantly unhappy? GOD: Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. You are worrying because the act of worrying has become a habit. That's why you are not happy. IMM: But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty? GOD: Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional. IMM: But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty. GOD: Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. IMM: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer? GOD: Diamonds cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials. With that experience their life becomes better, not bitter. IMM: You mean to say such experience is useful? GOD: Yes. Experience is a hard teacher, though. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards. IMM: 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. IMM: 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. IMM: Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction. GOD: Success is relative, quantified by others. Satisfaction is absolute, quantified by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing you rode ahead. IMM: Sometimes I ask, who am I, why am I here? I don't know the answers. 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. IMM: 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. IMM: Sometimes my prayers are not answered. GOD: There are no unanswered prayers. Remember you will always get what you need when you need it, NOT necessarily what you want. Therefore at times the answer is NO.IMM: Thank you for this wonderful chat. I think I understand now and I will try to be less fearful. GOD: Keep the faith and drop the fear. Life is a mystery to solve, not a problem to resolve. Life is wonderful if you know how to live. And remember my Child, I am always with you! Call me anytime you want to chat! - Author Unknown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed reading this. Infact, this came in "The Speaking Tree" of the Mumbai edition of Times of India on 6th May 2005.

This beautiful passage I read from Times of India Spirituality section (Editorial) under Speaking Tree a couple of weeks back. In that the name of the author was mentioned on the top. I even forwarded this inspiring msg to some of my friends too. Jai sai Ram, Balakrishna abburi ---------- subbarao kompella <srichakra9 Tue May 17, 2005 1:52pm Re: [saibabanews] SMS from God (Inspirational) Thank You very much for such a wonderful mail. from Usha Subba Rao Kompella www.srimeru.org ---------- Aruna Gopal <amgopal Tue May 17, 2005 2:32pm Re: [saibabanews] SMS from God (Inspirational) Thank you for sending this. Sounds simple enough yet hard to remember it all at the right time!! I suppose one has to start somewhere, sometime. Thanks. God Bless, Aruna ---------- sathya logan <sathya_shanna Tue May 17, 2005 8:59pm Re: [saibabanews] SMS from God (Inspirational) Sai Ram, Thanks for that Madhvi! Swami definately has a sense of humour. However, his humour paradoxically is serious and thought-provoking. Maybe I should reword that...action-provoking. Once again thanks for that Sai Ram Sathya saibabanews, MadhviSai@a... wrote: > > SMS FROM GOD........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
