The story of the Nun who was raped
When Fat Was Freak
Letter Writing Day "When was the last time you wrote a letter?"
Was The Saudi King Drinking?
Media cut’s the neck, so where was a head?
Where was Christ when the nun was being raped?
This question some one asked me the other day in a very agitated state of mind. Just to counter him I retorted where was Allah when Babri Masjid was demolished or where was Ram when Babri was being built?
Non believers often say that when God is all powerful then why crime & injustice takes place?
I got the reply in a beautiful quotation in Times today.
Very often when the foundation of our belief gets shaken. In desperation we turn to god only to find that he himself is shaking them.
As a child goes to higher classes, he is put to tougher tests to assess his level of knowledge. Life also tests the evolved person. Christ could have prayed to God & avoided his crucifixion but He wanted it to be glorified - a lesson for his followers.
Thakur Ramkrishna the priest in famous Kali temple who was supposed to feed kali by his own hands got cancer. He could have easily got him cured but chose to suffer. His wife Sarada Devi lived a life of penury after his death.
Both lord Rama & Krishna had unnatural deaths. Dwaraka the capital of lord Krishna was submerged in water. Krishna could have prevented Mahabharata but he caused it bringing an end to the entire crop of warriors of that time.
Two theories emerge -
Should we forgive the persons doing injustice to us?
Bible says Yes, Gita says no but our fight for justice should be with a dethatched state of mind in a sense of duty.
Is this what the Jihadi’s are doing?
I am keeping my fingers crossed but think they have tremendous hatred for non-believers this is what Gita does not advocate. So the detachment is lacking despite all the glorification.
I can give an intellectual answer.
Just like a child keeps making & destroying sand castles & in the end goes away nonchalant about what happens to his meticulous creation. So also God does.
Hindu mythology calls it Maya - an illusion the whole world, many times it has been destroyed & rebuilt. May be science also will grudgingly admit this.
So are we back to square one?
Your guess is as good as mine
Amen!
