108 Quotations on Faith in God

>From Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourses

- 83 -

When Krishna made His advent on earth, He also had to play His part

according to His role. While Sishupala was railing at Krishna, He allowed him a

long rope and destroyed him, when the appropriate time came. The Bhaagavatham

relates the story of how Krishna retreated repeatedly in His encounters with

Jaraasandha. How can the All-knowing, All-powerful, Omnipresent Lord flee from

anywhere? Where can He hide Himself? This is utterly fanciful.

When one has faith in the ways of the Lord and abides by the will of the

Lord, the Lord can be understood and experienced.

For instance, there is the example of Dhraupadhi in the Mahaabhaaratha. In

the court of Dhuryodhana, although she was humiliated and dishonoured by

Dhuryodhana and Dhusshaasana, Krishna, in accordance with the role He had to

play, did not intervene, as both of them were destined to meet with their death

at the hands of Bheema.

During Krishna's life-time, He was the target of attacks and accusations by

many wicked persons. But the Divine has no likes or dislikes. The wicked persons

suffer from the consequences of their own actions according to their deserts.
