SMS Chat with BABA! 
BABA: Hello. You called me.
Myself: Called you? No, who is this?
BABA: This is BABA. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat with you.
Myself: Sure, I pray. Just makes me feel good. Actually, am busy now.
In the midst of something, you know.
BABA: What are you busy with? Ants are busy, too.
Myself: Don't know. But I can't find free time. Life has become hectic.
It's rush hour all the time.
BABA: Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results.
Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.
Myself: But I still can't figure it out. By the way, I was not expecting YOU
to buzz me on instant messaging chat.
BABA: Well, I wanted to help you resolve your fight for time by giving you some clarity.
I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with.
Myself: Tell me, why has life become so complicated?
BABA: Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated.
Myself: Why are we then constantly unhappy?
BABA: Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday.
You are worrying because the act of worrying has become a habit.
That's why you are not happy.
Myself: But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?
BABA: Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.
Myself: But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty.
BABA: Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.
Myself: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?
BABA: Diamonds cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire.
Good people go through trials. With that experience their life becomes better, not bitter.
Myself: You mean to say such experience is useful?
BABA: Yes. Experience is a hard teacher, though.
She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.
Myself: But still, why should we go through such tests?
Why can't we be free from problems?
BABA: Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons to
Enhance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance,
not when you are free from problems.
Myself: Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don't know where we are heading.
BABA: If you look outside you will not know where you are heading. Look inside.
Looking outside, you dream. Looking inside, you awaken. Eyes provide sight.
Heart provides insight
Myself: Sometimes I ask, who am I, why am I here? I don't know the answers.
BABA: Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be.
Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it.
Life is not a process of discovery but a process of creation.
Myself: Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction.
BABA: Success is relative, quantified by others.
Satisfaction is absolute, quantified by you.
Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing you rode ahead.
Myself: How can I get the best out of life?
BABA: Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence.
Prepare for the future without fear.
Myself: Sometimes my prayers are not answered.
BABA: There are no unanswered prayers.
At times the answer is NO.
Myself: Thank you for this wonderful chat. I'll try to be less fearful.
BABA: Keep the faith and drop the fear.
Life is a mystery to solve, not a problem to resolve.
Life is wonderful if you know how to live.
Myself: Thank you very much MY BELOVED BABA!
Be Blessed!
Love & Light!
Om Sai Ram!
