Why GOD Created Us

Aum Sairam

One day, I prayed to God.
“Oh God, You are so wonderful. You have created marvelous things in this world. Yet, in this beautiful world created by You, there is so much misery, suffering, pain, violence and what not. Why don’t You do something about it?”

“I have done something,” replied God.
“You have done something? Where is that? What is that? I don’t see it,” I said in reply.

God then slowly whispered, “Son, I created you!”
Wonderful story is it not? I think there is a deep message and if we reflect carefully, we would realize that Sri Sai is telling us precisely the same thing over and over again. Yes, all we have to do is to serve mankind, remembering that service to man is service to God. If we wipe one tear in one eye, we would be not only making God happy but also experience Ananda ourselves.

Yes the world is packed with misery by way of providing opportunities for us to experience Ananda. Pure and true joy comes not from expensive vacations, but from service to the Lord.
