Searching Question Fulfilling Answer
Each person struggles through

live. For some the trials are

overpowering, for others a bored

status quo prevails,and

for a minority mountains are

pounded to dust in

the search for meaning and joy.

Within the invisible depths of

each soul there is a yearning.

A need to know ‘Why?’.

‘Why do we live?’,

‘Why do we experience problems?’,

‘Why are we travellers on the

journey of life?’.

In the search for answers to

their uncertainties many turn to

the God-realised Saint.

    All-Doer
Question

Harmanbhai Patel (Devotee) : We believe that God controls everyone and everything, that He is the all-doer. So can’t we assume that when a man commits wrongful deeds, it is in fact God doing it?
Answer

Swamishri : No. God only inspires us to do good. When a man does wrong he does so because of his desires. God has given us common sense to know when we are doing right and when we are doing wrong. Despite this, because of our weaknesses we knowingly do wrong. Then it becomes a habit. But in the end, we have to suffer the consequences.
Question

Doesn’t He protect us?
Answer

Swamishri : He does, but when? Only if we make a mistake without realising it. If we sin on purpose, He doesn’t protect us.
