Each
person struggles through
live. For some the trials are
overpowering, for others a bored
status quo prevails,and
for a minority mountains are
pounded to dust in
the search for meaning and joy.
Within the invisible depths of
each soul there is a yearning.
A need to know ‘Why?’.
‘Why do we live?’,
‘Why do we experience problems?’,
‘Why are we travellers on the
journey of life?’.
In the search for answers to
their uncertainties many turn to
the God-realised Saint.

| All-Doer |

Harmanbhai Patel (Devotee) : We believe that God controls everyone
and everything, that He is the all-doer. So can’t we assume
that when a man commits wrongful deeds, it is in fact God doing
it?
|
 |
Swamishri : No. God only inspires us to do good. When a man does
wrong he does so because of his desires. God has given us common
sense to know when we are doing right and when we are doing wrong.
Despite this, because of our weaknesses we knowingly do wrong. Then
it becomes a habit. But in the end, we have to suffer the consequences.

Doesn’t He protect us?
|
|
Swamishri : He does, but when? Only if we make a mistake without
realising it. If we sin on purpose, He doesn’t protect us.
