God's Own Perfection!

God stepped back a bit and looked dispassionately at what he had just created. It had taken a week or so for him to create the universe. However the bulk of the time was consumed by one tiny speck, the speck which later came to be known as Earth. Supposedly so because the speck was his favourite place in the endless universe. To be inhabited by his favourite creations and creatures. He permitted himself a tiny smile as he looked at the mighty mountains, endless seas, vast lands. His smile widened as he looked deeper into the lifeforms created to help sustain the creation closest to his heart. The trees, plants, animals that infested the land, sea and mountains. A sense of satisfaction overcame him.

God being a selfless dude and who strongly belived in consumer feedback, he thought he must call the various inhabitants of earth and enquire if all is well and have all their needs been sufficiently addressed. He called up Mother Nature to speak on their behalf with a mind to improve upon the shortcomings, if any. The Mother reported that everything and everyone were perfectly happy with what was dished out. All except one. The Humans.

God was shocked to hear the feedback. He was under the impression that the Humans among all his other creations had been given the best deal and here they were the only group to have been less than satisfied with his actions! Being the first known example of a consumer centric organization, he asked Mother Nature to explain the shortcomings. The Mother explained that while the Humans are extremely happy with whatever has been served to/into them, the brains to be the most powerful of his creation, they still said something was missing. When prodded further, the Mother said the humans couldn't exactly say what is that he missed out on. Except that they spoke random gibberish of being left out on the icing on the cake, the jewel in the crown, the crowing glory and such vague and incomprehensible jargons.

God being God took the feedback and assured Mother Nature that he will look into it. And unlike the Politicians who later went on to replace God as the prima donnas on earth, he seemed pretty serious when he spoke the above words. To say God was taken aback by the feedback would be an understatement. Think however much he may, God could not just put his fingers on what was missing that the humans were pointing out at! Reviews and multiple reviews later he couldn't see anything that he had ignored or had escaped his attention. Hours of dhyanam and more of twisting and turning his mind didn't get him any closer to the solution. Having hit his wit's end, God decided to take a break and sleep over the matter on hand.

Sleep! Giving an issue some time off often leads to some clarity as the humans went on to say and practice later! With the arrival of dawn God saw the clarity which refused to reveal itself the whole evening and night. Alongwith the first rays of sunlight, God achieved enlightenment. God let out a loud laugh on the simple but beautiful solution for a problem which was seeming to overwhelm even him. He marvelled at the solution! The icing on the cake! The jewel in the crown! The crowing glory! 

Lo and behold! The small piece of creation that has completed God's work! The final piece of the jigsaw puzzle! The 'perfect' that helped God achieve 'perfection!
