Conversation with God

Thanks sym for sharing this in the midst of 'mystery'...

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'm in the middle 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. BTW, 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: 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 thru 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.
God: If you look outside, you'll not know where you are headed. 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 decided by you. 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 we stay motivated?
God: Always look at how far you have "come" rather than how far you have to "go". Always count your "blessings", 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 don'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 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 it! Best wishes for a good day.
