GOD, I am not getting into a cakewalk but actually throwing myself into a fire walk!”
4. Crisis Calling GOD
Shaking his chair back and forth, Periyasamy revolving his chair around and looking towards the direction of the Golden rays and whispers himself ‘Oh GOD, what will you do if you are in my shoes and how do you manage this situation?”
His eyes blinded with the strong sunshine and started sweating as if he feels someone is touching his shoulders. He pulls himself towards the table and to his surprise, he realizes that the spastic-stone GaneshJi is looking very golden.
His computer screen starts shaking as if it is caused by huge voltage fluctuation and suddenly a crystal clear voice is echoing into his ears,
“Hi Periya Samy ”, once again he is caught with surprise as no one ever in this office has pronounced his name to such a clarity. His friends and colleagues calls him by his nick name ‘Sam’ as they found his name very complicated. Only his parents are so excited by calling him ‘Periya Samy’ which means ‘Big GOD’. They named him with so much love as he was born ten years after their marriage and for them he is the big GOD.
Wiping his eyes with both hands and using his fingers to clean up the ears, staring at the computer screen, moving the mouse to the speaker icon on the right, he is shocked to realise that the speakers are muted.
“Oh my GOD… where is the voice coming from!” Periyasamy mumbled with bit of fear.
Leaning backwards and sitting upright tight on his chair with both arms resting firmly and build a bit of confidence himself and raises his voice and said, “Who is that?”
Voice echoed once again into his ears “Hi Periya Samy” but this time it sounds as if the person is at a close proximity and blowing into his ears.
Periayasamy without expressing his fears building up guts with a strengthened tone, said, “Hi, I can not see you as my eyes are blinded by strong sun shine, can you please come in front of me and introduce yourself?”
After a bit of silence, the voice heard once again but coming from the front, “Hi Periya Samy, I am the GOD… you have been wishing for… I would like to understand the situation you are in… I wish to know more about the management help you are longing for.. it sounds very interesting”, the voice continued, “only this morning, I was just thinking of how to manage the world better and I was interrupted by you asking for management help!”.
“Are you GOD? how come I can not see you, you are supposed to have elephant trunks and big belly?”, Periyasamy shooks his head back and forth and gently slapping himself and staring once again at the computer screen
“Hi Periya Samy, GOD is invincible and invisible, I don’t have any form and I don’t belong to any religion; but people see me with different forms and different religions but I see them with only one religion which is HUMAN” instantaneous reply echoes back
“Hmm, Great, Oh Almighty, thanks for coming to save me from all the troubles but how can I believe you…. that you are the GOD” Periyasamy replied with his teeth chattering of fear
“It is human nature that they long for what they can’t see but when they see, they ask for the identity; I am the GOD and I am here in front of you without passport and not passing through security and immigration; I don’t need any identity to go all over the universe as opposed to what you humans do” GOD said,
“Well, I can hear you loud and clear but still I can’t believe that the GOD is in front of me, can you do something such that I can really get convinced” Periyasamy murmured
“Do you believe in your belief – Belief in GOD?, If you believe I am in front of you; if you believe I am the GOD the only Almighty who can help you at this situation; if you believe you don’t have any other options other than believing in me….”, GOD kept going,
“Wait a minute…hold on…I believe in you but…do you think you can help me to get rid of this mess…” Periaysamy interrupted with staggering voice with a bit of anxiety mixed with fear and desperation
“I repeat this again, do you believe in your belief – Belief in GOD?, if you believe, the power you have been longing for is in front of you…”
Periyasamy closed his eyes and recalled what his friend read from the bible last week when they were debating GOD’s appearance,
‘Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters.’ – Revelation 1:12-15
5. GOD’s SLA
“I am going to guide you to go over the mess you are in; I am going to show you the path and… I am going to instill confidence in you that you can do it” GOD started saying.
“But remember, I am not going to do it for you; it is your job; you have to do it and you have to succeed; if I start working for the humans on this earth, it will be unGODly and the world I created will collapse which will lead to destruction”, GOD continued,
“You mentioned destruction…! do you think the world will collapse as filmed in 2012”, Periyasamy interrupted with a bit of relaxed tone
“Periya Samy, if you have to achieve your goals, you have to focus and have to believe in yourself that you can achieve, if you believe in 2012, you lead yourself to destruction; believing in yourself is the biggest Belief!” GOD said with the firm tone
“Well, I can understand you don’t like movies; I don’t really… believe in films; ok, let us come to the point; please help me to manage this situation; Oh GOD, I believe you only can help me and I surrender myself to you” Periyasamy said with sigh of relief
“Good, you are now on track; I am going to give few lessons on management and at the end of the lessons, you have to make up your mind and plan to execute;I am only a guide to bless you with the lessons to manage your situation”, GOD said
“Hmm, Ok, so, don’t you want to sign any SLAs? Do you always believe only in macro management and autonomy for the humans to manage the world? ”, Periyasamy said
“What SLA?”, GOD asked
“Ok, at last I have something to teach you GOD, SLA, is Service Level Agreement which guarantees the success otherwise end up paying penalties” Periyasamy said with lots of confidence and felt overly proud of his vast knowledge.
“GOD doesn’t sign into any SLAs, GOD sets the beginning and ending; life between the beginning and ending is based on the belief with which the human takes the path; GOD executes the penalties by the way of tsunamis, earthquakes, tornado etc when the human abuses the autonomy and fails to preserve the nature which GOD has created….” GOD kept going,
“Forgive me Almighty GOD, please don’t sign SLA and don’t sign penalties, I am now ready for the lessons”, Periyasamy said with a shivering voice
“Great, I like your submissiveness and belief in me; the lessons which I am going to teach you will go long way in your life; it is up to you how much you can leverage out of these lessons”, GOD said,
