asking the Lord for help

[Guest guest]

191) Should we not ask the Lord for help?

 

Ans) If you are an ordinary person you should follow

the rules of your deeds and nature. If you are a

devotee, even then, you should not ask God for help.

Your devotion must not aspire any result. You are

asking God for help means that you want God to violate

his own natural rules. The impression of millions of

angles and sages will be disturbed if God violates his

own rules. That will give a poor impression of God.

You are putting God to inconvience by forcing him to

use his supernatural power. Whether you are a devotee

or not, you must always try to solve your problems by

putting your best effort. If you fail, even then, do

not ask God to help you. Then, you think that it is

your fate and worship God as usual. Arjuna was

fighting with his grandfather, Bhishma. Arjuna was not

putting up his best effort to kill Bhishma. He was

having sympathy to Bhishma, who had brought him up.

Noting this, Krishna took his Sudarshana chakra and

ran to kill Bhishma. That means the Lord tried to

solove the problem of Arjuna through his divine power.

Arjuna did not agree to this and forced Krishana to

stop, because Arjuna knew about his inadequate effort.

But when Saindhava was to be killed, Arjuna tried his

best, because Arjuna took an oath to kill Saindhava

before sunset and otherwise he promised that he will

enter the fire. Since the sunset took place apparently

due to the Maya of Krishana, Arjuna stopped fighting

and wanted to enter the fire. He was just going to

jump in to the fire but he never asked for help. He

thought that was his fate. Therefore, the Lord helped

him secretly. Therefore, if you put your best effort,

still fail because it is beyond your limits, if you

happen to be a real devotee and donot ask for the help

from God, then you will be helped by the super power

secretly. The secrecy is due to preservation of the

sacredness of his administration in the eyes of

others.
