ME: Oh. What a boring life it has
been. Nothing interesting is happening. Now I go home and have to play the same
video game and do the same Maths homework. I wonder who invented all these home
works and tests. All because of that teacher only. I think she only has all
such evil thoughts. But who invented her? Why did I end up in that school? I
shall ask Mom and Dad why they put me in that school when I was small? Small?
Yes. Why was I small? Can’t I be big. Those big people don’t have any home
works and all. When will I grow big? Oh. I have so many questions with me. IS
THERE ANYONE WHO CAN ANSWER MY QUESTIONS? See I am crossing this temple. Mom
visits this temple daily. She says God answers her prayers. Is the same God
capable enough to answer my questions also? I find it funny. HEY CAN YOU ANSWER
ME? (shouts and giggles)
HE: Were you the one who was
shouting? May I help you?
ME: Help? Can you help me? Ha. I
have a difficult homework of Maths. That teacher gave me. Can you help me to
solve? No right. Go do your work man.
HE: If you tell me the problem, I
shall try.
ME: Oh. You think you are
intelligent enough to answer MY maths problem?
HE: Test me if you want.
ME: Test. Oh ok then. I will ask
you few questions, if you answer I will tell my assignment questions.
HE: Well. Go ahead.
ME: Let me start with easy one.
Tell numbers 1 to 10.
HE: Ha ha. Here you go. Ten
Avathars. Nine Grahas. Eight Lakshmi. Seven Swaras. Six Senses. Five Boothas.
Four Vedas. Three Moorthis. Two Puranas and One God.
ME: Phew. That is one explanation
for 1,2,3!! You seem intelligent. Fine. Lets go tougher. Why was I born?
HE: Your Karma.
ME: Will I die?
HE: Yes. Death is the ultimate
truth.
ME: What is this life then?
HE: A journey.
ME: From?
HE: The womb to the graveyard. What
you do in between decides your next birth.
ME: Why am I having so much pain
then?
HE: Pain is the state of mind. The
night is darkest before the dawn. Your birth is the result of your mother’s
pain.
ME: What is happiness then?
HE: It is the state between
sadness.
ME: My life is simple or
complicated?
HE: It is simple and complicated.
ME: Why is that a good person often
suffers more?
HE: The tree that bears the best
fruits invites more stones.
ME: You believe in these numerous
Gods?
HE: God is one.
ME: Oh so where is he? At my pooja
room or in the temple?
HE: He is inside you.
ME: I have God inside me? That’s a
matter of pride. How to see Him?
HE: Simple. Man minus Ego equals
God.
ME: Oh. Maths again.
HE: Haha. This entire life is an arithmetic
calculation. You add your Punya and Subtract your Paap.
ME: But if God exists, why so much
sufferings? Does he not care for these people?
HE: Just because you see a man with
beard, doesn’t mean that barbers don’t exist. Its up to you to go find him.
ME: What should I follow to be
happy?
HE: Sathya, Dharma, Shanthi, Prema
and Ahimsa.
ME: But one who doesn’t follow
these are also happy.
HE: Following these may not fetch
you 100 on 100 but you will definitely be promoted.
ME: Brain or heart? Which should I
give more importance?
HE: Think using your brain and love
using your heart.
ME: Love. Why should I love others?
HE: It is the easiest way to please
God.
ME: Why should I please God?
HE: Because He is the one who is
going to evaluate your performance in life. It is important to keep Him happy.
ME: What is the result of His
evaluation?
HE: Reflection, Reaction, Resound.
We are accountable for every action we perform and we have to face the
consequences, depending upon the nature of our past actions.
ME: If everything is already
written what is my role?
HE: Yes. Everything is pre-written,
but it can be re-written.
ME: How?
HE: Your actions.
ME: How can I improve them?
HE: Self-audit.
ME: Means?
HE: Ask these questions every day.
What good did I do today? What bad did I do today? Can I be better tomorrow?
ME: Will that transform me? Should
I follow anything?
HE: Simple. Start the day with
love, spend the day with love, fill the day with love and end the day with
love.
ME: What does this do?
HE: This is the way to God.
ME: So I can control my destiny?
HE: This life is a two-seater car.
You drive and God witness or let God drive and you witness. It is up to you to
decide.
ME: With so many voices inside me,
whom should I listen?
HE: The conscience is the only
genuine voice. It speaks very softly. Calm your mind to listen to it.
ME: Calm my mind? How?
HE: Remove the virus of Shadripus.
ME: Any anti-virus software?
HE: I already gave you five.
Sathya, Dharma, Shanthi, Prema and Ahimsa.
ME: Oh yeah. So my body is a
computer?
HE: Yes. Where your senses serve as
input devices, your actions are the output with brain functioning as the CPU.
ME: You said God is in me.
HE: Yes. He is the Operating
System.
ME: So God doesn’t have a physical
form?
HE: He takes it when necessary.
ME: When is it necessary?
HE:
Parithranaaya Sadhoonam
Vinaashayacha Dushkrutam
Dharma Samsthaarpanaarthaya
Sambhavi Yuge Yuge
ME: Every time He incarnates?
HE: Sometimes he sends messengers.
We have to listen to them too.
ME: If God appears before me, what
should I ask him?
HE: Never ask anything. What He has
given you may not look attractive, but is definitely best suited for you.
ME: I accept that you are
intelligent. One last question. Who am I?
HE: You are God. You haven’t
realized it yet. Everyone around you are God. Start seeing the divinity in
them. You will find the solution yourself.
ME: That is awesome.
HE: Will you tell your maths
problem now?
ME: You are too intelligent to
solve it. Thanks. I will do it myself. But who are you?
HE: Start seeing the divinity in
others. Bye. (vanishes)
ME: I wonder who this messenger
was? (walks)
