IT's PERFORMANCE & not POSITION ....

 A Priest dies & is awaiting his turn in line at th 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 Paandi, Auto driver from Chennai!
 
 God consults his ledger, smiles & says to Paandi: 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.
