108 Quotations on Faith in God
From
Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourses
–
83 –
When
Krishna made His advent on earth, He also had to play His part
according to His role. While Sishupala was railing at Krishna, He
allowed him a long rope and destroyed him, when the appropriate
time came. The Bhaagavatham relates the story of how
Krishna retreated repeatedly in His encounters with Jaraasandha.
How can the All-knowing, All-powerful, Omnipresent Lord flee from
anywhere? Where can He hide Himself? This is utterly fanciful.
When one has
faith in the ways of the Lord and abides by the will of the Lord,
the Lord can be understood and experienced.
For
instance, there is the example of Dhraupadhi in the
Mahaabhaaratha. In the court of Dhuryodhana, although she was
humiliated and dishonoured by Dhuryodhana and Dhusshaasana, Krishna,
in accordance with the role He had to play, did not intervene, as
both of them were destined to meet with their death at the hands of
Bheema.
During Krishna's life-time, He was the target of attacks and
accusations by many wicked persons. But the Divine has no likes or
dislikes. The wicked persons suffer from the consequences of their
own actions according to their deserts.
