Guest guest Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Shankaram Siva ShankaramYou might have read this, but it is always good to read it again and again (and again) ... Enjoy it .. Great to cherish these wonderful thoughts on the new year eve.Wish you all a happy and prosperous new year !! Regards,Srinivas.Conversation between GOD and ME God : Hello. Did you call me ? Me: Called you? No.. Who is this ? God : This is GOD. I heard your prayer. So I thought Iwill 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 cant find free time. Life hasbecome hectic. It's rush hour all the time. God : Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivitygets you results. Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it. Me: I understand. But I still can't figure out. By theway, 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 wantedto reach you through the medium you are comfortablewith. Me: Tell me, why has life become complicated now? God : Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis iswhat makes it complicated . Me: why are we then constantly unhappy? God : Your today is the tomorrow that you worriedabout 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 muchuncertainty? God : Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying isoptional. Me: But then, there is so much pain due touncertainty. . God : Pain is inevitable able, but suffering isoptional. Me: If suffering is optional, why do good peoplealways 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 experiencetheir life become better not bitter. Me: You mean to say such experience is useful? God : Yes. In every terms, Experience is a hardteacher . She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards. Me: But still, why should we go through such tests?Why cant we be free from problems? God : Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks OfferingBeneficial Lessons (to) Enhance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, not whenyou! 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. Heartprovides insight. Me: Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt morethan 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 yourode ahead. You work with the compass. Let others workwith 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 theside of the truth. Me: Sometimes I ask, who am I, why am I here. I cantget the answer. God : Seek not to find who you are, but to determinewho you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as towhy you are here. Create it. Life is not a process ofdiscovery 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 futurewithout fear . Me: One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers arenot answered. God : There are no unanswered prayers. At times theanswer is NO. Me: Thank you for this wonderful chat. God : Well. Keep the faith and drop the fear . Don'tbelieve your doubts or 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. "Life isnot measured by the number of breaths we take but bythe moments that took our breath away! Happiness keeps u Sweet, Trials keep u Strong, Sorrow keeps u Human,Failure Keeps u Humble, Success keeps u Glowing, But only God Keeps u Going.....
