we have taken the position of God

[Guest guest]

Actually, God is feeding us. You will find in Africa, there are millions of

elephants. Who is giving them food? In your home, within the hole, you will

find millions of ants. Are you giving them food? . . . . .

 

But we are engaged in philanthropic work, to give food to the poor, as

if God is unable to give food to the poor, because we have taken the

position of God. So this is not our business. God has food for everyone. If

one is suffering, that is his own fault. Just like in the hospital, you'll

go. You'll find so many patients are starving. Does it mean the patients are

starving for want of food? No. He must starve; otherwise he will not be

cured. That is destiny, called.

 

So these are not our business to see. Our own business is how to revive our

original consciousness. That is our only business.
