God and Me II

Last night I remembered God rather fondly. And He appeared again. His very nearness was charming and calming. He again offered to fulfil one wish. Having rejected the money thing the other day, I thought of 'Two square meals a day', the usual stuff in our prayers.
What if God said that I have made enough food for everybody I create and you are no exception. Have you not been getting enough so far? In fact you are little over weight indicating that you have been stealing somebody else's share once in a while. You might be comsuming more than your share.
What if God actually listened the last time I prayed similarly and remembered. He might say that you asked for 'Two Square Meals a Day' but you are actually eating three times a day. This is not fair. Somebody somewhere on this earth might be getting only one meal a day because of you. That is why world carried both loads, the load of under nutrition as well as over nutrition.
Because of my preoccupation with thoughts, I was rather ignoring God. Afraid, God might not leave I chose 'Appetite' rather that food for God to give me. God smiled and said. I gave you appetite at birth itself. It was due to appetite only that you were feeding yourself when you did not even understand meals. You have somewhere lost this gem in your eating by the watch. No other animal has lost that gem, my dear human. Why don't you fast sometimes so that you rediscover and polish that beautiful gem of appetite, I gave you. You are too afraid of not getting food. I grant you 'Courage to Fast'. I saw the Light and God went to attend the other call leaving me mesmerised.

God and Me

Last night God appeared. It was a very nice, warm feeling in God's presence. God said you remembered me fondly and here I am. I will fulfil your one wish. Ask for whatever you feel like. First thought was to ask God to be with me all the time. Then I thought God is very busy. He is creating, preserving and destroying all living and non living. It will be too selfish of me. God might as well say that He is with everybody all the time anyway.
Immediately the thought of money came. I might rather ask for few millions or a jackpot. After all money can solve almost all problems of a human being. What if God said that you have enough for you requirements but you realise it not because of your greed. What if God said that He does not make any money and it is a wrong choice. Money is creation of humans so I should be interacting with humans for this. After lot of internal deliberations, finally I chose to ask for generosity. I asked god to give me the courage to give and donate, to rise from my greed and attachments, to fill me with generosity.
He said, I created you full of generosity. Start giving, it will regenerate in abundance from with in you.
You were created Blessed.
