Paramatma & Jivatama (7)

[Guest guest]

(from prev.post)<br>This God, since HE knows the

whole nature and all souls, will act on any prayer

which is according to its manifestation. <br>He may

grant a prayer or refuse. The fault is not in God but

in the Jiva and its desires. God having a universal

view is busy in his manifestation. If a fool cries on

the road that there is nothing like God, it does not

affect him. He does not close doors for sinners and

non-believers, because it is finally he himself sitting in the

centre of their hearts enjoying his manifestations and

its actions and reactions. Similarly if someone prays

him and goes to temples etc. God does not give him

special favours. Sin and virtues, richness and poverty,

happiness and sorrows, illness and health life and death

are not the qualities of God. These are the qualities

of "Ahamkara" or ego and every ego while getting

result of its Karma is advancing towards Truth. If a

near and dear is ill many pray for his life, and if

there is a great sinner, many pray for his death, but

here the prayer does not work, as life and death will

be as per the Karma of individual. God is not

present to take part in our personal enemities or

friendships. <br><br>Had God wished to control these things,

the greatest incarnation of God Sri Krishan would not

have taken birth in the Jail. Dropadi should not have

been insulted in the public, the Mahabharata war

should not have taken place. While preaching Gita Shri

Krishan no where said to Arjuna that I will fight for

you, or I will take away your sorrows or to leave this

war etc. and go home or to become Sanyasi. If the

relative and friends of God's greatest incarnation had to

suffer the rule of Karma, what is our position ?<br><br>

So instead of praying for useless things we should

only pray for our spiritual

enlightenment.<br><br> Should we then think that Prayers are fruitless ? No all

prayers are not fruitless. There is one prayer which is

certainly listened and acted upon by God and that is the

prayer for spiritual enlightenment. If some soul,

whatever is his intelligence level, prays for the

spiritual enlightenment or having God's vision, God

immediately acts on that because that is the ultimate aim of

his manifestation !<br><br> Some people though have a

deformed view of this idea. They believe that since every

thing is done by God, what they do is done by God and

they are not to be blamed. We must remember here that

ego of a body is not the ego of the God. God's ego is

the sum total of all the egos in the world, be it ego

of a tiny plant, amoeba or President of America.

Smaller ego's work can be called God's work, if it is for

the manifestation of God himself.
