Gems From Bhagavan: 'Surrender'

[Guest guest]

It is asked, why all this creation is so full of sorrow and evil. All one

can say is that it is God's will, which is inscrutable. No motive, no

desire, no end to achieve can be attributed to that infinite, all-wise and

all-powerful Being. God is untouched by activities which take place in His

presence. There is no meaning in attributing responsibility and motive to

the One, before it became the many. But God's will for the prescribed

course of events is a good solution for the vexed question of free-will. If

the mind is worried over what befalls us, or what has been committed or

omitted by us, it is wise to give up the sense of responsibility and free

will, by regarding ourselves as the ordained instruments of the All-Wise and

the All-Powerful, to do and suffer as He pleases. Then He bears all the

burdens and gives us peace.
