Chat with the God

CHAT WITH THE 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 cant 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 able, 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 become better not bitter.


Me: You mean to say such experience is useful?


God : Yes. In every terms, 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 cant we be free from problems?

 

God : Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks
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 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 cant 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.


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. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that took our breath away!

Don’t ask!

Don’t ask!
Don’t ask anyone if they love you – only fools ask this. Even if someone is angry, he is demonstrating love. Emotions like anger, jealousy, and greed are because of love. Love is our nature. If someone is sleeping, do you ask the person are you sleeping? If you do, then you have already woken them up!

Don't get angry just because you got angry

Anger
When you are angry at yourself, you get angry with others also. When you are angry at others you get angry at yourself for getting angry. This is like a pendulum. We have to stop this. It’s ok if you get angry. Don’t get angry because you got angry. Sometimes you feel good, sometimes you feel bad. Life is like a jungle. Thorns are also there, flowers are also there, fruits, peacocks, deer, lions, tigers everything is there. Just be natural, easy and relax. Take things as they come and move forward. Don’t get stuck in a place.

What is TRUE LOVE!

TRUE LOVE 
 
Sri Sri: How do we know false love, tell me? My dear! Love is love, you can't call it is true or false. Don't doubt love. We don't doubt hate. What is the guarantee that people hate you? May be at that time they were angry! Love is our nature. Because of desires and greed our love is sometimes not expressed. It becomes hidden. There is no prani (living being) without priti (love). Prana (life-force energy) has come from love. Thousands of atoms together form the body. Without love, all these atoms would be separated and that is nothing but death. When the Prana loves the body it stays in the body, there is life. When that love ends, there is death. We should not mistake emotions for love. Love is our nature, know the difference. :)
