Ahead of him is a guy, fashionably dressed, in dark sun glasses, a
loud
shirt, leather jacket & jeans.
God asks him: "Please tell me who are you, so that I may know whether
to admit you into the kingdom of Heaven or not?"
The guy replies: "I am Pandi, Auto driver from Chennai!"
God consults his ledger, smiles & says to Pandi: "Please take this
silken robe & gold scarf & enter the Kingdom of Heaven..."
Now it is the priest's turn. He stands erect and speaks out in a
booming voice: "I am Pope's Assistant so & so, Head Priest of the so &
so Church for
the last 40 years."
God consults his ledger & says to the Priest: "Please take this cotton
robe & enter the Kingdom of Heaven ..."
"Just a minute," says the agonized Priest. "How is it that a foul
mouthed, rash driving Auto Driver is given a Silken robe & a Golden
scarf and me, a
Priest, who's spent his whole life preaching your Name & goodness has
to make do with a Cotton robe?"
"Results my friend, Results", shrugs God.
"While you preached, people SLEPT; but when he drove his Auto, people PRAYED"
It's PERFORMANCE & not POSITION that ultimately counts.
