Where the God is Hiding

This is an old story which I read

God created the world; then he used to live on the earth. You can imagine; his troubles were too many. Everybody was complaining everybody was knocking at odd hours. In the night people would come and they would say, “This is wrong, and today we need rain and it is so hot.” And somebody would come just afterwards and he would say, “Don’t bring rains I am doing something and it will spoil everything.” And god was getting almost mad: what to do?! So many people, so many desires, a d everybody expecting and everybody needs fulfillment and their desires are so contradictory. The farmer wants the rain and the potter wants no rain, because he was made pots and they will be destroyed; he needs hot sun for a few days and so on and so forth….

The god called his council and asked: what to do? They will drive me crazy. And I cannot satisfy them all. Or they will murder me some day! I would like some place to hide.”

And they suggested many things, somebody said, “That is not a problem – you just after a few seconds”... for god that is just after a few seconds “Edmund Hillary will reach there with tensing, and then trouble will start. And once they know, then they will start coming in helicopters and buses and everything will….

Then somebody suggested. “And why not the moon?”

He said, “That too is not very fair- a few seconds more and somebody will reach the moon,”

And they suggested faraway stars, but god said, “That is not going to solve the problem. It’s simply a sort of postponement. I want a permanent solution.”

Then a servant came to close, whispered something in his ears, and god said “you are right. That will do!”

And the old servant had said, “There is only one place where man will never reach-you hide in man himself” And that is the place where god has been hiding since then: in man himself. That is the last thing man will ever think.

“Other end of the mind is God or Almighty”
