LETTERS TO GOD

"That catchy red color, the speed, the headlights, I have to get this toy car" said the 10 years old boy 'Krish' when traveling with his mother. "Mom I want that" said Krish. No son you already have plenty of those at home, replied her mother. "Mom please" was the last request. "No way" came a strong reply. For Krish it was a very cruel ending of a short and sweet dream.
"all my friends have so many toys, every time I ask mom to by something for me I get a big NO, all my friends go to picnic every weekend but I don't, why all this happens to me only,….". Krish was returning home keeping all these complaints in his mind. "Please give me something in the name of god" suddenly that voice broke the silence. An old beggar who used to sit in front of Krish's house was begging with a mysterious smile on his face. Why you are always begging? Why don't you ask god for some help? Why do you use his name? Can god help some body living here on this planet? Asked krish.
"He can do wonderful things but there is one thing." What? He doesn't do anything directly, in fact he uses our hands to do something, replied the old beggar. Krish couldn't understand anything. He ran towards his house, he was very disappointed for that toy car. Suddenly a thought struck his mind. Why don't I ask god for some help? He was talking to himself "everybody prays to god, Christians go to church, Muslims go to mosques, Hindus go to temple, there must be something in it, at least why have we a GOD?" He decided that he was going to call god for that toy car. "Where to find god" was the next question. He remembered his grand father saying that god doesn't live in churches or temples. He lives everywhere. So he started shouting "god…, god". But there was no one to reply. Then he thought that this universe is huge and god must be a busy man. Then he decided to write a letter to god and request him to give 25 Rs.for the toy car. He did exactly that and put the letter on the window for god. That night wind was blowing quite significantly and that wind carried the letter to the beggar who was sleeping in front of krish's house. Next morning when beggar got up he found that letter on his feet. Fortunately or unfortunately the beggar was literate and he could read that innocent letter. "God is great" said the beggar having that mysterious smile on his face.
"there are so many people on this planet and he has chosen a beggar to do his job" he said to himself. Beggar had 30 rupees as his total earning. Giving someone 25 rupees could badly damage his budget. Should he, should he not? This might has been a question for someone sitting in the heaven and watching the whole story but not for that old and physically ill beggar. He was trying to get up on his feet, after few attempts he succeeded. It took a lot of efforts to get himself into Krish's house. He put the money on the same window, since it was very early in the morning every body was sleeping.
Then he returned to his place and that mysterious smile was still on his face. It seemed like he had got something, which not everybody on this planet has, something like "THE TRUTH". That morning when krish got up his first move was to look at the window and he was as happy as one can be. His eyes lighted up when he saw those coins in place of the letter. He could not believe on his eyes. He ran towards the market, bought the toy and was in a great hurry to come back home. He wanted to tell everybody the story. Suddenly he saw that there was a rush in front of his house, he went there to see what happened. it was a dead body. Dead body of that beggar. Suddenly krsh's eyes caught some thing, it was that letter. Krish ran to his house and told his mom that the beggar was dead. What? I knew he was ill and I gave him 30 rupees for the medicine. Did you find any medicine there? Asked his mom. No mom, replied Krish. Then she went to the place where the dead body was and returned. "I can't understand one thing, neither he bought the medicine nor the money is there, what did he do to the money?" said his mom. She was totally confused, but the situation was very clear in Krish's mind. He had understood the fact that it was the beggar who compromised his life to fulfill Krish's wish. But why? Why did he do that? Perhaps because he wanted krish to keep faith in gad. But why on cost of his own life? Perhaps because he had greater faith in god. On that day krish felt like he was very near to the greatest mystery of human culture 'God'.
He was feeling like he had experience the presence of god. He also had something to say to him. Might be an experience or conclusion or both. But he wanted to talk to someone. Then he decided to share his feelings with no one else than the god himself.
He wrote one last letter to god
Dear god
Thank you very much. Today I identified you. I don't know why people go to church to meet you. I don't know why we need either a crisis or Christmas to remember you. I don't know why people watch towards the sky when they want you to come, because I think that they should be looking towards themselves when they expect you to come. Today I know that you never come from the sky, you always come from a person like that beggar. Who is always ready to give, irrespective of the fact that how much he has got and whom he is giving to. Thanks for showing me the truth. Today I feel like the richest person on this planet and I don't need anything else. Now I am ready to give my part.
Your son
Krish
