God's Perfect Hiding Place

==========================

"Children, have you heard this story? God decided to create the world.

His purpose was to give Himself a place to live. So as soon as He had

created this beautiful earth full of trees and plants, animals and

birds, mountains and valleys, God began to dwell here. Everything was

perfect and God was leading a blissful life. Years rolled by until one

day God made a mistake. He created human beings. From that day on,

there was trouble. Night and day, the human beings complained to God.

No matter what God was doing, whether He was eating or sleeping, they

would come knocking on His door.

 

"The never-ending complaints drove Him crazy. God soon lost His peace

of mind. No sooner was one problem solved than another one arose. The

first man's solution became the second man's problem. One person

wanted rain. But when God granted rain, another person would complain,

'God, how can you do this to me? My whole house is leaking. My crops

are ruined.' Everything became a problem. No matter what God did,

people complained.

 

"Eventually God asked His advisors to suggest a way out. One

suggestion was that God should go to the Himalayas. But God said, 'No,

no. People would soon come there.' 'What about the moon?' asked

another of God's advisors. 'Soon man would also make his way there,'

God replied. 'You, my good friends, cannot see the future,' continued

God. 'But I can. No matter where I go, man will come to know about it.

He will follow me and I will again be in trouble.'

 

"This statement was meant with silence. After some time an aged

advisor stepped forward and whispered in God's ear. God's face

brightened. 'Wonderful!' he exclaimed. The old man had suggested the

perfect hiding place for God. 'Go and hide deep within man,' the wise

man had advised. 'Yes. It is perfect,' was God's reply. 'Man would

never think to look for Me inside himself. There is no chance that he

will find Me there.'"

 

"Children,God is deep within us. He dwells there as innocence, as pure

and innocent love. But the mind and its egoistic feelings veil this

innocence. But it is always there. It has only been forgotten. You

have to go deep within. You have to rediscover and remember."
