IS HE, IS HE NOT PERVADING?
DON’T WANDER O
SOUL.
_A P ANAND
There is a great tumult
(disorder) of every kind and in every field like political, judicial, civil and
spiritual etc. in the world. Man has cocooned himself due to his misdeeds. God
or any other natural power has not divided the creation into religions, caste,
creed and countries etc. It is only our satanic and diabolic mind which has
separated us to meet our own ends. Many are atheists and do not believe in God
as He is not seen with a naked eye. He is un-manifest. Someone has rightly said
that even if you find Him, what else will be left behind to explore? If found,
He will have to face the wrath of the people, He will be heckled and questioned
for our unwanted and unending desires or we may ask Him to take revenge from
someone on our behalf to settle our scores or we may take shelter of sorcery in
despair. God has created the whole world as a delusion/ a myth/ a dream/ a
stage for us to enact drama of life. Though myth, love, faith and attachment
etc. are illusion, being bonding agents, still these tendencies contain dynamic forces
to push our life forward and make it sweet due to release of strong feeling or
tension, called catharsis. It is aptly believed that something in guise and at
a far off distance is most wanted and seems attractive. The moon and stars afar
from us look cool and attractive. Lord is found by them only who delve deeper
and use intellect.
Is God ashamed or
afraid to connect with us due to our misdeeds or are we afraid of Him for
defying His commandments? Have we not disregarded the morals and ethics and have
we not imbibed the animal instincts due to which we are suffering endlessly?
Some rejoice in doing
wrongs in the name of
God, even under the barrel of gun, which is sin as well as creating enmity and
disharmony. Swami Vivekananda formulated the universal definition of morality
as: “That which is selfish is immoral and that which is unselfish is moral.”
Please introspect, weigh your values and experience the inner voice (“Antar
naad”) to find out the answer for yourself about truth.
If Lord Supreme is not
pervading why we call Him Omni (omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient)? If that Power is not there, how, day in and
day out, many stunning miracles are taking place for which we don’t get
convincing answers? Some say that Lord, who is formless and unseen, is depicted
through the spectacle of Nature. Is it not a fact that the same Power, give Him
any name, is the Driving Force propelling the whole world including the
celestial one? Had He not been there we would have devoured one another without
any fear or hindrance.
We, very often, see and
experience Lord’s fury in the form of “Tandava Dance”(intense delightful
rhythmical dance of Lord Shiva after mauling/ lynching dreadful demon, Apasmara
aka Muyalaka, under His
feet) destructing everything on earth and in natural disasters (cataclysms)
like drought, floods, earthquakes, storms and trigger of bomb blasts etc. which
is the result of our own faults as we do not care for natural laws. Have we got
any protective
armour/ sheath with us?
He, probably, wishes to get rid of or prune undesired and irresponsible persons
from this earth as they have breached the trust reposed in Him who has blessed
us with abundant bounties but we have misused the freedom of our choice. In
case the fear of Lord’s punches due to our defying His law and order do not
exist our life will be completely disarrayed. Is it not seen that sometimes
people of all walks of life and of all ages, collectively, become victims of
natural disasters and lose life but some are extricated alive, unhurt which
shows that only Lord’s will prevails where we become quite helpless?
Though many scientists
do not believe/ agree about the presence of God still they and spiritualists
cannot achieve anything without concentration of mind, true devotion and faith
which are the basic necessities for both. Faith in Him does wonders for us. We
get stimulus to do even the most difficult and intricate jobs. Faith heals our
wounds and removes our misconceptions. When nothing works, faith works. Even
the medical professionals drop down their hands in despair and ask us to leave
the difficult situation to God. In deep faith He will extricate us from many
worries. We are intrigued by happenings/ phenomena that cannot be explained
through science. We cannot find God with ego and worldly attachments, without
love, faith and compassion. We are sulking due to our own faults. He is
revealed the moment we start loving Him as love acts like a magnet. Osho says
that with the eye of love and trust the Divine is seen. He also says, “The
throat of each bird is filled with song, there is beauty in each leaf and light
in each star; this universe is so full of magnificence, there must be some
energy or super power behind it.”
In a village called
Shani Shingnapur (District: Ahmednagar), Maharashtra and in a village named as
Dawal Malik (Distt: Gadag) , Karnataka, the houses have no doors and windows
with shutters and the residents are free from any thefts. Whose spirit is
pervading here, whose writ runs here and whose presence bears the stamp of
faith, trust, time tested experiences and miracles etc. daily happening in our
life? He may appear before us in any form or garb to test our faith and
attachment towards Him. Sometimes God brings more and more stumbling blocks on
our way to make us steady/ firm and courageous to push us further to face many
challenges.
When we know that the
law of “Karma” is in force in our life and death is also sure, why don’t we
learn lessons from the harrowing experiences of life? We should ameliorate our
“Karmas”
and wash away our sins
to enjoy glories of life. Let us not allow to slip away the opportunity granted
to us due to our precious human birth for reforming ourselves with virtuous
deeds and God knowledge to bring peace on earth. If we don’t tread the right
path as enunciated in
Holy Scriptures we will
entangle ourselves in a maze of life. Those who are firmly grounded but not
dithering or astray and are well connected to Him achieve the goal of life i,e.
liberation (“Mukti”). The ups and downs are transitory and only God is
controlling our life and fate.
Always remember the adage, “ This (good, bad or ugly) moment will also
pass.” You have to act positively. Hallowed be thy name O Lord!
