What does God do?
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.
As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.They talked about so many things and various subjects.When they eventually touched on the subject of God,
the barber said:
"I don't believe that God exists."
"Why do you say that?" asked the customer.
"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist.
Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people?
Would there be abandoned children?
If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain.
I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things."
The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument.
The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop.
Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard.
He looked dirty and unkempt.
The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again
and he said to the barber:
"You know what? Barbers do not exist."
"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber.
"I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"
"No!" the customer exclaimed.
"Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."
"Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when people do not come to me."
"Exactly!" affirmed the customer."That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! That's what happens when people do not go to Him
and don't look to Him for help.That's why there's so much pain
and suffering in the world."
Ask and it shall be given , Seek and it shall be shown and knock and it shall be opened - said LORD. but we need to ask to get, seek to be shown and should certainly knock for the way to be shown or opened - it applies both to GOD and his beings. Don't expect people to understand your requirements - be it physical or emotional on their own. Speak up when you want or expect something from someone. to give or not though is optional (for them).....
wishing that your prayers be answered,

I quite agree that people suffer when they don't go to HIM for help.But what about those who suffer even after going to HIM....?
For Mohan's doubt:
It is like catching a train at a station.
Some people go to the station well in advance (for no reason), keep looking at the track from distance and curse the train for not coming(whose scheduled arrival time is yet to come). They did not undergo any pain en route.
Some people, struggle en route, and reach the station just at the nick of the moment. Train had arrived just when they needed it the most. Of course, their journey was troublesome.
For both, train is same. It will come only when it is scheduled, but one is happy and other is sad.
Al our existance depend on our deep thoughts.al da people expect 4m others bt nt ready 2 help them.if we r able 2 act wth trulynature god himself is with in us.
Thank you reiki for blessing me with reiki.
I searched for god every where but didn’t know where to find him/ her.
Thanks to reiki I found god in human form holding me guiding me.
