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 with you.

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 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 through such
tests?
Why can't we be free from problems?

God: Problems are
P urposeful
R oadblocks
O ffering
B eneficial
L essons to
E nhance
M ental
S trength.

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.
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 his or her side,
but few want to be on the side of the truth.


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.
-Sham Hinduja

TRUE BEAUTY!


‘TRUE BEAUTY!!’

“For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

(Never talk rudely!)

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

(Do not criticize anybody!)

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

(Do lots of Community Services to stay slim and trim!! Do charity and help the poor!)

For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.

(Be like a small loving child who LOVES everyone!)

For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.

(For the Lord, God and Master is always with you!)

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived,
reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.

(Be merciful, humble, helpful and kind to all!)

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the

end of each of your own arms.

(‘God helps those who help themselves!’)

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands;

one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.”
(Don’t wait till you are too old. It might be too late. Act now!!)
