The ultimate WHY


Extracted from Srimad Bhagavadgita - Sadhaka-sanjivani of Swami Ramsukhdas

"There arose in God, before creation, a resolve of multiplying Himself in many forms. By this wish the One God, became manifest in two forms; Sri Krishna and Sriji, for the exchange and promotion of love. Both staged a play in order to mutually conduct the sport. By God's wish, endless number of beings and objects came into being. The play takes place only when the players on both the sides are free. For this, the beings were granted freedom by the Lord. Sriji's attraction lay focused only on God, there was never a slip on her side. Thus there was a play of love between God and Sriji. But the other beings, who assumed their part, with the matter of the play by mistake, for their coincidental joy, whereby they got into the cycle of birth and death.

The objects of a play are only meant for play, not for anyone's personal possession. But these beings forgot to play the right game, misused their freedom and began to regard the materials of the play, as personally their own. Therefore, they got entangled in matter and totally turned away from God. Now, if these beings had shunned the perishable material of forms and looked towards, God, then they could be free from the great pain of births and deaths, forever. Thus withdrawing from the world, the beings would realize is eternal relationship with God only for the sake of this realization, the Bhagavad Gita, has come down to us"

We all came to this theatre to witness the eternal, omni present, ecstatic, blissful joy of love of Sri Krishna, but sadly got side tracked. It's like we came to a movie to enjoy the play but became overly possessive about the protagonist, graphics, music etc and in the end left the theatre dis-satisfied because we never really enjoyed the original play that we came for. God is kind hearted so gives us another ticket for free(life). Says "Don't worry dear, watch the movie again". It's like another chance. We wasted crores of chances like this. God is still not complaining. But how long will we continue like this? After all why ?
