Thus Spake The Lord

 

 

 

Even Avathaars (Divine Incarnations) make their advent with certain resolves. They also set certain limits to their roles. Krishna incarnated with three resolves: (1) Dharma samsthaapanaarthaaya sambhavaami yuge yoga (I incarnate from age to age to establish Dharma); (2) Yogakshemam Vahaamyaham (I shall promote the progress and well-being of My devotees); (3) Mokshayishyaami mea such (I shall liberate those who take refuge in Me). Rama also had three resolves: One word, one arrow, one wife. Rama declared that whoever sought asylum from Him, would be totally protected.

 

Similarly all Divine personalities make their advent for some definite purposes. They will not deviate from them in any circumstance. Swami's Premathathva (essential nature of Love) is of the same character. Swami's Preamp (Divine Love) has no trace of self-interest in it. It is absolutely pure. Swami knows only how to give, not how to receive. Swami's hand is held above for conferring something, not stretched for seeking anything. Moreover, once Swami has declared, "You are Mine", whatever wrong ways they may pursue, Swami will not abandon them. It may be asked why anyone who has been accepted by Swami as "You are Mine", should be subject to hardships and troubles. These troubles are the consequences of their own karma (actions). They have to see that their conduct is right. If, supposing, the Lord blesses a man with a hundred years of life, he should not get puffed up with pride and start jumping from a tree in the confidence that he will live for a century. Me may live for a hundred years, but may have his leg broken in the fall. So, in accepting the blessing of God, one should also try to lead a righteous life.
