All Decrees of God are Equipped with Mercy
That alone comes to be and
that alone is going to take place, which the ever-infallible, eternally
vigilant and supremely just and all-merciful Lord, the moulder of our
destinies, has decreed. You can neither alter nor escape from it by any effort
or strength of yours.
However much you cry, or
wail, fret or curse, rave or roar, nothing will avail. You must suffer whatever
has been ordained for you, be it with a groan or applause.
God is ever benign. No
decrees of His can be unpropitious or even divorced from auspiciousness, no
matter if it appears adverse or unfavourable to you due to your cramped, short
sighted or perverted vision. Even though it appears adverse or unpropitious,
you will have to undergo it at all events; but in doing so you will feel
miserable and suffer severe mental torture.
Besides being eternally
benign, the Lord is omniscient too. He directly knows wherein lies your real
good what is your real need ; He is omnipotent-inherently capable of satisfying
every need of yours; He is ever infallible—incapable of error; and he is your
supreme and disinterested friend by nature—is constantly and unaccountably
benevolent to you. If you will ever remain completely immune from all fears and
grief and be able to experience the supreme joy and everlasting peace.
Everybody in the world is
seized with fear and tormented with grief; every living being and inanimate
object here is perishable. Man is over haunted by fear of destruction and he is
agonized with grief when destruction actually befalls him. Everyone is troubled
with the fear of losing that which one has come to regard as one’s own such as one’s kith and kin, animals and
other possessions, status, honour, prestige life and health. And loss of
anything considered as one’s own gives rise to grief. No one is immune from
this fear and grief. But if you pin you faith in the benign dispensation of the
Lord, who is very embodiment of auspiciousness, you will be completely rid of
this fear and grief. For, then you will neither regard any particular thing as
you own nor will view the loss of anything as a curse.
These are the two aspects of
abhinivesa (instinctive clinging to worldly life and bodily enjoyment which
keep humanity in its grip, viz.,) fear of annihilation preceding the actual
destruction of an object and the grief following in the wake of destruction).
In the eyes of a believer in God, however, both fear and grief cease.
Whatever befalls you as your
lot comes through the benign dispensation of the Lord, the very embodiment of
auspiciousness. Therefore, viewing whatever happens to you, against your wish
or through another’s will, as a benign dispensation of the all-auspicious
Lord—designed by His benignant will –take it to be supremely auspicious for you
and, remaining ever grateful to the all-blissful Lord continue to dwell on His
blessed thought.
