Mere instruments of God

                                                 

“ The most Supreme Godhead owns the entire manifested Universe and every micro to macro details in the Cosmos is His Grand Leela or Play.”

                                                             -Ashwas Thapa

                           The entire manifested Cosmos is the sole property of the most Supreme Godhead. Fullstop!!! All of us human beings are ever dancing to the tunes of the Cosmic rhythms. The Universal rhythms is constantly engaging us in its Infinite and Eternal Cosmic dance of life to fulfill God’s plans for us because most of us are right now greatly deluded by the charms of the material world. The Universal rhythms which is the charmer ever sways us into the charms of worldly life for us to finally shed our mortal cloak of worldly pursuit by rejuvenating our dormant spirit to forever transform ourselves into the immortal. We are bound in shackles and chains to  the Universal rhythms until that moment when we don’t become free from the collective human consciousness and become unburdened and free from the mortal coil of suffering from times immemorial. The Universal rhythms which are the various planetary actions and reactions bind us into into the mortal coil of suffering until we don’t realise our true essence as Divine beings and decide for an ultimate overhaul to be liberated from the cycle of birth and death to abide in God forever. Therefore, neither  are we in  control of ourselves nor do we have  control over our life and it is  the Infinite Being Who is controlling us which in actual terms imply, “ We are nothing but only mere instruments of the most Supreme Godhead!!!”

                                           “ We are only instruments of God.”

                                                                          -Sri Sathya Sai Baba

“Do not confuse the instrument with the user of the  instrument. The instrument is the brain; the user of the instrument is the Infinite Being expressing itself in different disguises.”

                                                       -Dipak Chopra

                                                                                           (Book:Power Freedom and Grace)

                         In other words, we are merely actors in this drama of life and God is the  Supreme Director. There is an incident in the Mahabharata in which some statesman inquires Duryodhana the reason for his stupid arrogance, unjust crimes and his life of unrighteousness. God’s instrument Duryodhana replies back relaying the Supreme Wisdom saying, “ I know about Dharma, the path of righteousness, and I am also aware that what I do out of my sheer arrogance is not what has been dictated by laws of virtues but I am being directed to act the unvirtuous way from the depths of my heart by some Divine Being Who guides me to act in accordance with His Divine Will. This is the sole reason for all of my acts of misdemeanour.” “ Such is life!,” utters a famous Australian outlaw before being hanged for his ruthless and unforgivable crimes insighting the Supreme Will as being the inevitable part of the reason of him being sent to the gallows. “ Jindagi mein yoonhi hota hai,” or that “There may be no justifiable reasons for happenings  but life does happens in  the most unexpected manner” penns the famous Indian writer Javed Akhter for the movie Jindagi Na Milegi Dobara. By now we may have concluded that we are being remote controlled every second of the day and night and throughout our entire life span by the most Supreme Godhead to suit and accomplish His Divine plan for the entire manifested Universe. To sum it up in one phrase, “ We are merely the actors  and God is the Supreme Director.”

“ The body that you call yours is really the raw material of the Universe: recycled earth, water and air.”

                                                            -Dipak Chopra

                                                                                               (Book:Power Freedom and Grace)

                           We are only the raw material of the Universe. We may be amazed and shaken off our roots but the Eternal Truth is that there is nothing like the relation of  a father, mother, brother, sister, soulmate, kins, friends, foes,  a granny or a grandpa in reality. You may inquire about this revelation to any Enlightened Master and the reply will be a positive affirmation. We share the intimate human bond of a loving father, a devoted mother, a defensive brother, a supportive sister, a passionate soulmate to fulfill the criteria for the interconnected framework of human relationships on the planet to play our specific roles under the guardianship of the One Divine Umbrella. Therefore, a prostitute who is busy exchanging  sexual favours for her late night client is equal in importance as a divine instrument like your most chaste soulmate who feels for you from the very core of his Anahat. All of us, Divine instruments of the most Supreme Godhead cannot be categorized into the high or low class, the rich or poor, the profane or the sacred and a sinner or a saint. We are not the roles we play, we are all equal in importance as a Divine instrument and no matter who’s who, instruments of the most Supreme Godhead cannot be classified.

Whether you bathe in the holy Ganga or don a tilak

The fated can never be erased

He is the Orchestrator and you are the player

What is fated is bound to happen

Whether you worship or offer the sacred fire to the Gods

The fated can never be erased

He is the Orchestrator and you are the player

What is fated is bound to happen

                                                      -(Song:Ganga Nahaley)

                                                          (Singer:Mohit Chauhan)

                                 The life of each and every Divine instrument of the most Supreme Godhead is already predestined even before they were conceived in their mother’s womb. Neither the most pious religious ritual can erase that which is fated nor being enthroned as a monarch deviate and alter that which is bound to happen. Even Sri Sathya Sai Baba could  not and did not alter the Divine plan the most Supreme Godhead had for the Royal family of King Birendra of Nepal who were His staunch devotees. Even the living Son of God, Jesus Christ, was an insignificant medium of the significant and Infinite Will of God and had to die on the cross. Here, Jesus is termed insignificant compared to the significant Will of God because Christ is only the Divine Mother’s instrument and Brahman executed His Divine Will and even the true Son of God had to meet His fate on the cross.

                                As Divine, precious and privileged children of God we should be harbouring no regrets about our lives as we are only enacting different roles on behalf of the Divine Mother but in case we have one, it would be a worthwhile endeavour to start kicking the trail to be established in Self-Knowledge so that the human mind which had been creating regrets till now shall pave the way for the transformation of a fully restored soul which shall leave no  trails for any regrets.
