Hare Krisna ....


A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.
As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. 
They talked about so many things and various subjects.

When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: 
"I don't believe that God exists." 
Why do you say that?" asked the customer.

"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God 
doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? 
Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither
suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving God who would allow! all 
of These things." The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond
because he didn't want to start an argument.

The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after 
he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy,
 
dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt. The customer
turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the 
barber:

"You know what? Barbers do not exist." 
"How can you say that?" asked 
the surprised barber."I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on 
you!"

"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they did,
there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, 
like that man outside."Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when 
people do not come to me. "Exactly!" affirmed the customer. "That's the
point! God, too, DOES exist! That's what happens when people do not go 
to Him and don't look to Him for help. That's why there's so much pain and 
suffering in the world."
