Sai message for the day

[Guest guest]

We lack adequate knowledge of many important things. We have only a

partial view of divinity. Hence, we tend to ignore the reality and

are prone to doubt divinity. It is our misfortune that we find fault

with God too, and attribute human fallibility to him. In the

Mahabharata, it appears that Krishna was very partial to the Pandavas

and so he did many things unbecoming of God incarnate in order to

defend them. We may cite such instances as the killing of

Dronacharya, Bhishmacharya, Saindhava and a few others. We pray for

your comments on these misconceptions of ours and enlighten us.

 

God is faultless. He is pure and unsullied. It will be the worst of

sins to attribute any kind of mistake to God. Every inch of God, if

it can be put that way, is selfless and whatever He says and does is

for the welfare of humanity. He gives and forgives. He doesn't want

anything from anybody in return, nor does He keep anything in this

world that doesn't belong to Him? May be due to the effects of Kali,

you see people with narrow, selfish ideals that are responsible for

physical and mental agitations, and disturbances everywhere. Man

today has no trace of gratitude left in him. He has gone even to the

extent of ignoring his parents. He has grown demonic in his

behaviour. So, it is difficult for him to recognise God.

 

The Kauravas were wicked and spent their lives in injustice, untruth

and unrighteousness. They were full of hatred and jealousy. Out of

greed and envy, they did many cruel things like poisoning the

Pandavas, setting their house on fire, making them play dice where

they cheated, only to end their own lives. So, they had to be checked

and controlled. You know, a diamond cuts a diamond. You can remove a

thorn only with the help of another thorn. A simple example here will

make this point clearer to you. When thieves run away with valuables

through the back door, to catch them you also should go through the

back door. You just can't say in such a moment, " What! I am the owner

of the house. I can only go out of it through the main door and not

the back door. " So, the back door is the only way for you to catch

the thieves. Is it not so? Similarly, to catch the Kauravas, who trod

the wrong path, you had to go by the same route. Krishna did exactly

the same thing in order to protect the Pandavas and bring about their

ultimate victory. There was little trace of selfishness in Krishna.
