Better Place To Live In…..

I wake up to see the light illuminating the whole room which was crepuscular previously. From the source of light similar to the port adjoining the two different world arised a human like form walking towards me .
I was surprised by the action and got into my senses soon as I realised I wasn’t hallucinating . Seeing my reflexes it didn’t respond. I was trembling in fear, for defence measures I took a pillow to shield myself . Slowly it approached. But as the distance between both of us was getting shorter and shorter it’s aura brought peace in me and led my distracted mind to get into the composure required . When it reached where it was destined for, it sat beside me with a wide grin on it’s face. So beautiful it was,smile just intensified the beauty it exhibited. As soon as it sat besides me the hands automatically relaxed itself by dropping the pillow. It asked in a mild, passionate voice, “ How are you my son ?” “I….I am fine and by the way who ? Who are you ?” I asked…..
It replied , “ I am the one who people try to seek to fulfill their selfish, avaracious needs. In the temples they call me Krishna, in the mosque as Allah and in the church as Jesus. Every time people tend to seek me and my blessing in these offices but they fail to understand I am omnipresent. They reserve an appointment with my sculpture but don’t realise I was available everytime in each of my creation. Yes I am almighty in the form you’ve imagined.”
Hearing this I asked , “ How come I am so fortunate to get the blessing of the creator for which some people devote year’s to achieve ?”
The almighty replied with a smirk , “ Seeing your devoted, selfless service provided to my children, I was pleased and here I am to see my devoted friend. For the good deeds you have done I would like to reward you for the same. I grant you one wish .Choose wisely my dear son .”
Hearing this I was puzzled. I was granted a single wish only! How could I fulfill all my wishes with one single wish ?!
There are many poor citizens of the world not craving for money and other luxuries but a basic need of food, shelter and clothing ! People are lynched to death if they spoke truth or stood against the havoc created by the hooligans and relied on the judiciary system ! Students are forced for ambiguously taking up the course on someone else’s saying . Where there seems no other solution other than war. How?! How all my wishes will get accomplished ?
Giving it a thought , brainstorming again and again I finalised my decision…
Readjusting my posture, I reverted to the God , “ O Lord! I want the world where people don’t starve,crave for their basic needs. Where students don’t carve their career by someone else’s saying , where people are encouraged to speak the truth,fight against the injustice. My wish is, I want the world to be a better place to live in. Where you wouldn’t be approached in temples,mosques or churches but in each and every creation of your’s.”
Smiling,the creator granted the wish and world became a better place to live in.
