Does the Lord require help of human beings in His work?

January 8, 2006

Divine Message of His Holiness Shri Datta Swami

The Lord Himself did His work till the incarnation as Parasurama. Rama also

took the help of monkeys but not the human beings. The human being is with

little knowledge and little faith. He is neither a scholar with full faith nor

ignorant with no faith. He is always with doubts and is in between a theist and

an atheist. He starts with faith but doubts in the middle and will let you down.

Arjuna left the bow and arrows after reaching the battlefield. He expressed the

doubt about killing the relatives. Hanuman did not express a doubt after

reaching the battle stating that how can he kill the demons who were Brahmins.

A human being wants to see miracles. But after seeing the miracles he doubts

whether those miracles are illusions. Arjuna was associated with the Lord for

the past thousand births (Nara and Narayana). Therefore the Lord wanted to give

the fame of the battle to Arjuna. This is the reason why the Lord did not

directly participate in the war. Arjuna could not understand all this. He

thought that if he does not fight the war will stop. When the Lord showed

Viswarupa through which He showed that He is killing the Kauravas.

The Lord does not require the help of any person in His work. He wants to give

fame to His devotees and for this purpose only He asks for the help of the human

beings. Actually He does all the work but He will show as if the devotee did

that work. If the human being withdraws his help, His work will not stop.

Therefore are several fans in the hall.You are putting on the switch of a fan.

But the fan does not move. Then you will put on the switch of another fan. In

the case of Lord there is no need of any fan and He can create the movement of

wind by His will. When you are diverted to your family only the power of the

Lord will not flow through you since you have become the insulator.

You want to use the power of the Lord for yourself and for your family

members. This is the reason why the grace and power of the Lord are not flowing

though you. When you are detached from yourself and from your family, then only

the full grace and the full power of the Lord flows though you. Hanuman was such

example and He never gets death or any illness. He became the strongest and also

attained the post of Creator. The grace and power of the Lord flew through Him

completely.
