God Smiled ...
Everyday a man used to go to the
temple in the morning and while praying to God he would complain that around
him why there is so much of poverty and why so much of suffering?
After a several days of complaining
prayers, finally God appeared in front of him and asked him to show the poverty
and suffering. He took God along with him and went to the streets where beggars
and poor sick people were sitting.
He showed the first sick poor
person to God and said...
“Why is he suffering this much,
why don’t you heal him? “
God smiled and dint says anything.
He showed other person who was
sick because of hunger to God and said..
“Why don’t you give enough food
these people?”
God smiled and dint says anything.
He went on showing the sufferer
and poor people to God and asked several questions. In reply God only smiled.
At last he was frustrated and irritated with the God’s smile and asked him….
“Why are you smiling for all my
questions why don’t you help these people and bring them out of poverty and suffering?”
God Said… “Take me to your house. “
The man took God to his house. God
looked around and smiled again. The man asked God …
“Why are you smiling?”
God said ….
“I am smiling because you didn't understand the simple thing. You have enough food to eat and enough money to
spend. I gave suffering and poetry to those people but I made you healthy and
wealthy so that you can help them.”
The man was silent.
"We must have compassion and share with those who are suffering
and are in need.
Compassion for others and for self is what makes us a human."
