SURRENDERP.22From- Gems From BhagavanIt is askedWhy is all this creation so full of sorrow and evil?All one can say is it is God's will which is inscrutable.No motive can be attributed to that power, no desire, no end can be affirmed of that infinite, all-wise, and all powerful Being.God is untouched by activities which take place in His presence.There is no meaning in attributing responsibility and motive to the One before it became many.But God's will for the prescribed course of events is a good solution for the vexed question of free will. If the mind is worried over what befalls us or what has been committed or omitted by us, it is wise to give up the sense of responsibility and free will by regarding ourselves as the ordained instruments of the all-wise and the all-powerful to do and suffer as he pleases.Then he bears all the burden and gives us peace.-oOo-Gems is a small collection of the Maharshi's utterances by A.Deveraj Mudaliar, author of Day by Day with Bhagavan. .
