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

lives 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 you rode ahead.

You work with the compass (direction). 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. Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to

live.
