THE GREATER AND GRANDER DESIGN OF CREATOR

In my previous blog I had mentioned “there seems to exist a greater and grander design of things in which we are small players limited in our abilities to perceive, think and act”. In the present blog I would like to reflect further on this.

If there is a creation, there has to be a creator. And the creator is the best one to know all about the creation. We ourselves are a very small part of the creation which is known to us to some extent and unknown to us to a greater extent. Referring to this my Guru ji and most revered saint “Asharam ji Bapu”  comments”Sitaaron se aagey Jahaan aur bhi hain”, meaning that there exists much more than what our senses perceive. Our scientist friends are trying to find the GOD particle, which made the universe. Their next task will be to find who made the GOD particle!

In Gita, Lord Krishna reveals to Arjuna “You and me have gone through many Lives, I know about them but you don’t.” This indicates towards the existence of a supreme power which is more knowledgeable. Isn’t it visible in our relationship between us and our young ones? The creator is not only more knowledgeable; he also loves and always takes care of His creation. In Gita Lord Krishna says “ANANYOSCHINDAYANDO MAM YE JANAA: PARYUPASATHE THESHAM NITHYABHIYUKTHANAM YOGAKSHEMAM VAHAMYAHAM” or “I take care of the wellbeing of those who are always mindful of me and worship me considering me the basis of everything”.

To get a glimpse of the supreme knowledge we need to go deep within ourselves through meditation. The saints and yogis are able to tell about the unknown through this very ability of theirs to connect with the supreme knowledge. It is said that when Jamshed ji Tata, the founder of Tata Industries asked Vivekananda where to set up steel industry, Vivekananda suggested the name of Jamshedpur only by his meditative foresight and we all know the success story of Tata Industries as Jamshedpur was found to be having big mines of Iron ore.

How we can get benefited by the above facts. Firstly, the belief that there exists a creator who is more knowledgeable, powerful and caring relieves us of our worries and tensions to a great extent. Imagine how relieved and carefree we were as young child when we had a belief that our parents are there always to take care of all our troubles. Secondly if we learn to connect to him through meditation, we get insight into our problems and are able to make ours and our near and dear ones’ life happier. We can develop the meditative insight by being in company of God realized saints through their preaching or “Satsang”. This is why all the saints and scriptures speak so much about the importance of Satsang in our life.
