Universe is God

  Jilli is poor but he is always a happy bunny. He rises from bed with a big smile and chooses to be happy. He is happy the whole day and everyday. He is like an ice cream seller; simply spreading happiness to everyone, everywhere and all day. He is an average student but his teachers and school mates love him so much. If he does not go to school one day, the whole school misses him so much. They start making phone calls to check if he is doing fine. 

 Silli is super rich but he is always a sad face. He rises from bed with anxiety and chooses to be unhappy for no reason. He is moody and angry most of the day. He is a bright student but his teachers and school mates always ask him to change his attitude. If he does not go to school, no one missed him.

 One day, Silli was walking slowly to school. He was kicking stones on the way. Jilli came running from behind and wished Silli a good morning. Silli did not respond and continued kicking stones on the way. Jilli told Silli that kicking stones would hurt his leg. Silli replied "Let it hurt me". In a moment, Universe responded to his wish saying "So be it". Next moment, Silli got hurt. Jilli helped Silli to clean the wound and supported him to walk to the school. 

 While walking to school, Silli wondered how Jilli is always happy. Jilli said he has realized the great secret to be happy. Silli stopped walking and asked more about the secret. Jilli said, "Universe is God and it gives what you wish for". Silli was not convinced. Jilli told Silli, "It might seem a simple thing, but it needs to be practiced for long time and you will realize it is true" .

 "Alright! Let me practice it from now" said Silli. And he chose to be happy and started thinking of positive things. Soon his pain started reducing and when he neared the school, his plan vanished. "I think it started working" Silli said to himself. 

Silli started wearing a warm smile; his teachers and school mates were happy to see that. He showed care and affection to his class mates; and responded to teachers with respect and smile. Soon, he was treated likewise. "I think Universe is responding to my wishes" amazed Silli. Silli came first in a surprise test that day and the whole class cheered for him. Silli thanked everyone for the wishes and motivation. And he understood that things are going positive due to his positive attitude and actions. "It is indeed one of the happiest days" exclaimed Silli. 

Silli and Jilli were walking back from school to home together. "Is Universe reciprocating what I wished for or is it a coincidence?" asked Silli to Jilli. 

Jilli did not answer instead he questioned, "Where do you think is the Universe? Above Earth? Outside Solar system? Outside Milky way? 

"I think it is outside Milky way" said Silli. 

"What if Universe is inside us and we are responsible for what we get?" asked Jilli .

There was a long moment of silence from Silli. "Aha! I understand now. Universe is God. Universe is inside me. Hence I am God and I only give what I wish for. Good or bad does not come from outside, it only comes from inside. If we understand this and it is joy forever!" exclaimed Silli .

Jilli acknowledged Silli with a slow nod of his head saying, "You know the great secret now. Happiness does not come from outside. Happiness simply comes from one's inside. If we understand this, we are Universe, we are God, and we can be happy forever!" 

Silli asked Jilli, How do you know this great secret? 

Jilli said, I understood this from a Tamil saying - "Theedhum Nandrum Pirar Thara Vaaraa" which means "Good and Bad are not given by others, it is only We who give what we wish for". 

Both walked back home silently and with a big smile. They both seemed to have achieved something greatest in their lives

Silli's parents and sister were excited to see Silli's smiley face which seemed unusual for them. They asked, "What is the matter? What made you so happy?" Silli winked and asked, "Do you want to know the great secret of being happy forever?
