God came to me one day and offered me one boon. What do I want from Him?
I said I wanted "peace of mind”. God asked, “What is peace of mind?” I said, “Never being uncomfortable with myself.” God again asked, “What is ‘never being uncomfortable with myself’? Now, this is your last chance.”
I said, “All right, Lord. Give me the state of mind in which I shall not want anything from anybody - not even from You.”
God smiled, and said: “So be it.”
