God's Generosity

 

Question: When God is the provider and caretaker of all beings, then

why is it that men die of hunger?

 

Answer: This is their " praarabdh, " their fate, their destiny, their

deeds performed in earlier births. God does not see it as essential

for these men. Just like a doctor may tell a particular patient not

to eat certain grains and food, because it is the intention of the

doctor to cure the sick man. The point is that only those die of

hunger, whose living is not seen as essential by God. In reality,

what is essential is only God (Supreme Consciousness). Dying of

hunger is also a spiritual practice, through which penance and

remorse of past sins takes place.

 

We see things from our point of view, that God should do so and so

and must not do something, but God knows more than us, he is more

compassionate and merciful than us and more powerful and more capable

than us.

 

Question: Inspite of the presence of God, filled with eternal

generosity, why is it that people are poverty striken?

 

Answer: People do not leave the perishable objects, then what can

God's generosity do? If someone does not go next to Gangaji, does not

drink her water, then how will he get the cool effect? As long as the

attraction and pull of the destructible things is not wiped out, till

that time, man is unable to comprehend God's generosity.
