Sham S. Misri
During the recent past, in the Kingdom of Heaven, God was missing for some days. Eventually, Narad Ji found him, feeling tired and taking rest in a garden of flowers. He inquired of God, Where have you been?”
God heaved a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, “Look, Narad, look what I have made.”
Narad looked puzzled and said, “What is it?”
“It is a planet” replied God, and I have put life on it. I am going to call it Earth,” and it is going to be a great place to live with satisfaction.”
“Place to live” said Narad, still confused.
God explained pointing to different parts of Earth.
“Look, America- it will be a place of great opportunity and wealth. Northern Europe will be rich the Middle East, over there, will be a hot spot. The Antarctic, down there, will be a cold spot. Over there I’ve placed a continent of white people, and over there is a continent of black people.”God continued, pointing to different countries.
Narad was impressed by God’s work, and then he pointed to a land mass and said, “What is that one?”
“Ah! “Said God “That is India”, the most glorious place on Earth to live, a place for saints and sages.
Narad Ji gasped in wonder and admiration but then exclaimed,
“What about corruption?” You have given them everything, a perfect land, God. You said it would be a great place to live with satisfaction.
God replied wisely, I apprehend the leaders there are trying to corrupt me, that is why they had called me and I had gone there to see things for myself. Having seen the conditions there I thought I am better here in my kingdom of Heaven.
