The Barber and Long bearded man

Once upon a time, a man as usual went to his barber to cut his hair. During cutting his hair the barber and the man used to have long conversations about world and politics. Today also they were talking about movies sport etc when they both started to suddenly talk about God’s existence. “See, unlike you, I dont believe in God’s existence like you!”said the barber. “But why do you think that way, brother?” Replied the man

“Well, dont you see so much suffering around you when you go on the streets? So many people suffering from diseases and so many children homeless and orphaned and what not I do’nt believe in God who can let all this happen! Where is God ?” replied the barber.

The man was quiet after hearing the reply. He thought if I argue with my barber it will not be fruitful I need to do something practical to explain to him that God does exist. So after the haircut was done and paid for the man went on the street and saw a homeless man with a long beard and long hair in the street begging for food and money. The man came back in the barber shop and said, “Do you know in this world there are no barbers!” “How come you say that ? I am a barber standing in front of you!” said the barber astonished. “No, I dont agree with you in this world there are no barbers otherwise how is it that the man outside has such a big beard and long hair?” and saying that he took the barber by the hand and showed him the beggar with long beard and hair outside his shop. The barber laughed and said, “Oh Yes! there are many barbers like me in the world but sometimes people don’t come to us for cutting their hair or beard. “Very true, and thats what my point is that God is also existing but some people don’t like to go to God thats why there is so much pain and suffering in the world you see.” The barber understood what the man was trying to say immediately and realized his misunderstanding about God.

Wisdom, Rules, Life lessons- We must have faith in God. There is definitely a superpower which controls our universe.
