Logical thing May Never become Devine!!!

“Why God doesn’t make me well now, it has been 6 years since!” I said, “But that accident was because of your own mistake!” He replied, “Yes, but I have taken care of the back since. Still it doesn’t go.” In sort what he was asking was: “Why doesn’t God listen to my prayers, I have been so good.” Or “Why God punished me; I have not caused harm to anyone!” What I replied can be summed up in this sentence: God is not logical! In fact, we are so clever that we have our own expectations towards God. He should be like what. He should do this. And he should not do that. Think! We are deciding it for the God Himself! Did we ever realise what does this mean? God is not logical. In fact, our life is also not at all logical. Good things happen to bad people and bad things to good people. Families are wiped put in accidents on the roads, because of rash driving of some other drunken fellow. Young kids are raped and murdered in the day light. Cyclones happen when we least expect. Markets crash destroying the entire life time’s earning of many. Debt ridden farmers commit suicides, leaving their families in misery. On the other hand, criminals not only become GOI ministers, but are appreciated by one and all for reforms and turning around their departments! Most influential people in almost every society have invariably a link with crime. Bad cops get their children study in the best schools, while honest cops get fired after being made a scapegoat. The list can go down, the depth is endless. Let us think what will happen if God becomes logical. Companies would come up with a balance sheet with the list of their good and bad deals and try to show good balance in the end. George Bush will count how many lives he takes everyday, while matching up with the lives he saved, so that he could remain good. After all, what would matter would be that we do good things more than bad things. So a dishonest shopkeeper would count the number of honest deals and would justify the unethical practices done in-between. Terrorists would never go to hell because they are fighting for their independence. Rapists would marry the victim and become good again. Criminals would murder one and then do two goods, to remain good enough for the mercy of God. Priests would never go to hell. All the life’s events would become transactions. I don’t believe one bad can be made good by doing two goods. A bad is a bad and a good, good. Life doesn’t follow the logic that engineers use to solve problems, or the MBAs invent to fool themselves. I believe the things that don’t follow logic, are things that we should be most cautious about. The ultimate truth can be as simple as this quoted from one emailed forward: The good you do today, people will forget tomorrow; do good anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; succeed anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of having ulterior motives; be kind anyway. What you spend years building, someone may destroy overnight; build anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway. If you find happiness, they may be jealous; be happy anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it was between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.The best things in life are never done with a motive. Do parents bring up their children so that they can protect them afterwards? (Of course there are exceptions but think about the conditions of those who expected something back) Do we help unknown people on the roads to get something back in return? Do we smile at others to get a smile in return? Do we plant saplings to eat their fruits ourselves? Do we advice to anonymous people to get something back. Man is part of the nature. And almost the entire nature is selfless. Do cows give us milk to get something in return? Do trees give us oxygen to get CO2 in return? Do rivers clean themselves to look good? Do clouds give us water to get something back? And think if the nature ever gets upset when it doesn’t receive the gesture back. We cut trees, they don’t cry. We milk cows, they allow us to. We dump garbage in rivers, they clean themselves. Are not we part of the nature? Then why do we become so different? In God’s design, no one was meant to be selfish. So he never thought that one day man would try to judge ‘Him’ based on ‘his’ logic! God was not logical. Life will never be logical. And the most logical things in life will never be divine. If we can remain good while the whole world conspires against us, then only we are good.
