That's why I like silence and I am continually trying to get connected with the friends around the world; so I can participate and engage and contribute whatever I can. I am Mr. Pradip Lamichhane from Nepal, so I go to Bhaktapur Evangelical Friends Church in Nepal. I have experienced poverty, I have experienced difficulties, I have experienced conflict. So during this period of years, the God help me to go through all of these difficulties, poverty, sorrows, pains, starvations. Even all. That's all given by God. That's what we say in evangelical way. You know, if you follow the all door will be opened, all the wisdom will be poured to you and all the circumstances will be clear. That's what I believe. So every morning I wake up, I say “Thank you, God”. That's all. Before going to bed, “Oh God, thank you very much. How lovely you are.” Many people things they have to do lots of things to talk to God, you know? You don't have to do anything. You just live with the God. But saying that, you need community. You know? So community help you to guide you to connect to God. Sometime people say, “So why should I go to the church? Why should I go to the meeting? It's all old out there.” The young people says, “They are not speaking what we need. They are speaking old traditions. Old culture.” The Friends church and Friends community started from this problem actually. During that time, everybody is complaining. What they are complaining? They complaining Pastor is not good, they are complaining church is not good, they are complaining the meeting is not good, they are complaining seating chair is not good. George Fox said that you can directly talk with God and your problem will be solved. [No matter] how difficult that your questions or problem is. You don’t need to go and complain, but that of God is inside of you. Then why do you complain to others because that is inside of you? If you complain, complain for yourself. Because the problem is not outside. The problem is the inside. You don't need to go outside, you ask inside and you will get peace, you'll be blessed, and then friends will join you. They will feel that of God in you and they will also bless. The blessing is like that: You get blessing, and you pass the blessing. That's how it would work. Give and pass. In other culture of religions, there is a lot of thing you have to do. You have to wake up early morning, go to bath in the cold waters, and there are lots of materials you have to prepare in order to worship. And for us, just say. “Thank you God, how are you doing?” How is he? People don't understand, you know? Why they make things complex? I don't know. Why they want to make things complex? It is very simplex. Before, IT used to be very complex. This information technology, old traditional types of things. Now the IT innovation they are making very simplex way. You just deploy software in one place. You want that tomorrow in another cloud? U.S.? You want to run from UK? You don’t need to do anything, you know? It's called seamless. You can seamlessly transfer. You don't need that guy who do the coding, who do the IP, all these things. Why we are making complex? I don't know. It's okay. I go with a simplex. God is love. God is full of mercy. God will be there always for you, but you need to talk with him. ___ The views expressed in this video are of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views of Friends Journal or its collaborators.
