This poem, by Swami Vivekananda, is so simple and beautiful in its content and context that the reader almost connects himself at one point or the other to it. And at last, quite amicably or rather surprisingly, you find everything that went before in this poem or in your life, falling in its place nicely.
WHEN I ASKED GOD FOR STRENGTH ,
HE GAVE ME DIFFICULT SITUATIONS TO FACE .
WHEN I ASKED GOD FOR BRAIN & BROWN ,
HE GAVE ME PUZZLES IN LIFE TO SOLVE .
WHEN I ASKED GOD FOR HAPPINESS ,
HE SHOWED ME SOME UNHAPPY PEOPLE .
WHEN I ASKED GOD FOR WEALTH ,
HE SHOWED ME HOW TO WORK HARD .
WHEN I ASKED GOD FOR FAVORS,
HE SHOWED ME OPPORTUNITIES TO WORK HARD.
WHEN I ASKED GOD FOR PEACE ,
HE SHOWED ME HOW TO HELP OTHERS.
GOD GAVE ME NOTHING I WANTED ,
HE GAVE ME EVERYTHING I NEEDED
