He is holding the strings of the 'puppets'

[Guest guest]

"Leela Nataka Sai" written by Shri Ra.Ganapathi on the several leelas of Swami. As the caption of the book conveys the book depicts the various anecdotes the author was aware or heard from othes. The world is only a stage where the play of 'life' is acted by men and women as Directed by the Divine. But we, the actors are completely unaware of the Director, the theme etc.Hence we are perplexed as each and every scene of the Drama evolves. The Director, who Himself is the story and dialog writer, has designed the costumes, has selected the jestures each actor has to make in each scene be it a fighting scene or comedy or about lovers or a family scene or Office routine. We are aware of one scene at a time. Hence the confusion. He knows the entire story, the climax, the endings etc for everything has been conceived by Him prior hand. To say that everything is "pre determined" is not fallacy. It is true. To an extent, we can consider ourselves as "Puppets" and He is the "Puppeteer" who manipulate the puppets with the strings attached to his fingers. He hides himself behind the screen. We see only the puppets, dancing one time and fighting other time. Is it not funny? Sairam.
