Oh GOD, Our Confusions
How many of us God-Fearing souls exclaim when we are in trouble. "With all my belief in god why am I penalised while people who are Atheists get the best in life". Is it that God doesnt exist to change our lives then. How many of us are bogged down by the question if God is omnipresent and omniscient why is there evil in the world.
Doesnt our belief in god get shaken once we are in trouble. Or do we think of God only in those times to show our angst. We really think god needs to take care of us and give us all succes if we believe in him. Our mentality of Barter trade, worldly pleasures in exchange of devotion. And when we see atheists getting success we say they are anti god why does god help them.
Is there anything called anti god in this world. For instance an atheist or a beleiver in science or someone of the like, they all love something. People love thy self. The self is still a creation of god. You love the creation of god and hence you are devoted to god in a way unknown to you. God doesnt expect obeisance. That we show it to him doesnt mean we can seek for returns.
People question that if God is omniscient and omnipresent why then does evil succeed. Does that mean god is either not powerful enough or not good enough. But we speak of god only in terms of what happens to mankind. We humans consume animals and plants. We kill a chicken for our food. Or we destroy a tree for our needs. To that extent a tiger kills a deer for its food. Now if the tiger doesnt get the deer, the tiger is going to suffer and if a tiger gets the deer, the deer is going to suffer.
Now whom does God save. God has given the deer and the tiger the speed. Whichever is faster and more alert will acheive and whichever is not alert will suffer. If the chickens are not killed for food the poultry population will be endangering the world. It all boils down to survival of the fittest. That one succeeds and another fails doesnt mean god is cruel to the other species. It is the cycle set in by nature. God is omniscient to change this when needed. But who knows when he wants to change it.
Kadamaiai Chei Palanai Edhirparkadhey (Do your duty without concern for the results) says the supreme master Lord Krishna in the Bhagvad Gita. But we seem to be seeking in cash and kind for every act of ours.
