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. Bu 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 internet era, I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with.
Me : Okay, tell me Dear GOD, 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 were 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 : 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 : Do you know what "PROBLEMS" stands for? Problems are :
Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons to Enhance Mental Strength.
The Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, and 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. Whereas, Looking inside - you awaken.
Eyes provide 'sight'. Whereas, Heart provides ' insight '.
Me : Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more tha moving in the right direction. What should I do ?
GOD : Success is a measure as decided by 'others'. But, Satisfaction is a measure as decided by 'yourself'. 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, and 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". But, I can't get the answer.
GOD : Seek not to find who you are, but seek to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here, but create the purpose. 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 all. Understand that, at times, the answer to your prayer 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 never "doubt your beliefs". Life is a mystery to solve, and not a problem to resolve. Trust ME. Life is wonderful - if you know how to live.
