The first part of this article is has been taken from
khushwant singh’s book, “Gods and Godmen of India”
I dreamed I had an interview with god. “Come in,” god said,
“so you would like to interview me?”
“If you have time,” I said. God smiled and said, what
questions do you have in mind to ask me?”
“What surprises you most about mankind?” I asked.
God answered: “That they get bored with being children; are
in a rush to grow up, and then long to be children again. That they lose their
health to make money and then lose their money to restore their health; that by
thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they
live neither for the present nor for the future. That they live as if they will
never die and die as if they had never lived…”
God’s hands shook and we were silent for a while. Then I
asked… “As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to
learn?” . . .
God replied with a smile, “to learn that they cannot make
anyone love them; what they can do is to let themselves be loved. To learn that
what is most valuable is not what they have in their lives, but who they have
in their lives. To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others.
“All will be judged individually on their own merits, not as
a group on a comparison basis! To learn that a rich person is not the one who
has the most but one who needs the least. To learn that it only takes a few
seconds to open profound wounds in persons we love and that it takes many years
to heal them.
“to learn that there are persons who love them dearly, but
simply do not know how to express or show their feelings. To learn that money
can buy everything but happiness. To learn that two people can look at the same
thing and see it totally differently. To learn that a true friend is someone
who knows everything about them…and likes them anyway. To learn that it is not
always enough that they be forgiven by others, but they have to forgive
themselves.”
I sat there for while enjoying the moment. I thanked him for
his time and for all that he has done for me and my family. He replied, “I am
here twenty-four hours a day. all you have to do is to ask for me and I’ll
answer.”
People will forget what you said,
People will forget what you did,
But people will never forget
How you made them feel.
