Gurunathar’s Divine Message Ashwini Pooja 15-06-2012
I would like to explain something here. As always there is a person with doubts who has asked this oft repeated question “If life means living out our karma what then is the role of God?” I have mentioned this before. However since it has not been understood, I shall explain once again. Please realize that it is not God but you alone who are responsible for your karma. Also it is human beings alone (amongst God’s creation) who need to experience the results of their karma. Therefore you need to have the personal strength to experience the effects of your karma. What then is Gods role here? To survive and emerge victorious through the experiences brought about by your good and bad karma, God gives you great physical and mental strength. It is for that you need to worship God. It is not for God to forgive your past deeds or negate your effects or take on your karma .To ask this of God is a failing of human nature. You must change this. Instead I would tell you, be grateful to be able to understand God’s true nature. Be grateful for the opportunity to dispose of your karma by understanding the Supreme One for what He is and thank him for it.
It is to emphasize this that I have begun the message with a thanks giving prayer in which I refer to His creating, protecting , nurturing and then taking me back. Please take note that there is no mention of karma here. Karma has no part in Divinity or the highest spiritual level. When you understand this completely, you will be able to improve in every way; I would like to assure you. The one side of this is (God’s) forbearance and patience. If you ask who is the one who has to be tolerant? Importantly, it is God who has to put up with your mistakes. He has to tolerate all your sins. Do you think this is commendable? Secondly as you commit sins, those who are with you have to tolerate the effects. Surely God is not the cause for this? When they suffer due to your acts, it is possible that they curse you. You have to bear the additional suffering from their curses. It is God who gives you the strength to tolerate this. He gives you the power to introspect and recognize your flaws. So I advise you to identify your flaws and eradicate them.
