I asked Lord Krishna...

From a circulating email:


I asked Lord Krishna to do away with my vices.
Krishna said, "They are not there for me to take away. They are there for you to resist them."

I asked Lord Krishna to complete my body.
Krishna said, "Your spirit is complete, your body is only temporary."

I asked Lord Krishna to give me patience.
Krishna said, "Patience is a byproduct of difficulties. It is not given but learned."
I asked Lord Krishna to give me happiness.
Krishna said, "I give blessings. Happiness depends on you."

I asked Lord Krishna to free me of pain.
Krishna said, "Suffering makes you go away from this world and brings you closer to me."

I asked Lord Krishna to make my spirit grow.
Lord Krishna said, "You have to grow by yourself, but I will prune you to make you bear fruit."

I asked Lord Krishna for things that would make me like life.
Lord Krishna said, "I will give you life so you can enjoy all those things.

I asked Lord Krishna to help me love others like He loves me.
Lord Krishna said, "Now you ask for the right thing."
