Performance and 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 Pandi, Auto driver from Chennai!  
God consults his ledger, smiles & says to Pandi: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.
