Performance Vs Position

A Priest dies & is awaiting his turn in line at the Heaven's Gates.



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 RAJU, Auto driver,.....



God consults his ledger, smiles & says to RAJU: 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.
