God Talks
“But there are limitations to what a man can do for himself, limitations, where only cosmic evolution can help”, said the snake.
“True, but there is much that can be done by man himself. ‘ man proposes, and God disposes’ ; you tend to chew up the first part of this saying, leaving only God to go about His dispositions. Why do you forget, that it is the role of man to propose, go on proposing, till something is accepted. Again, my indication is not towards technology, you have done fairly well there, landing on the moon, flying in the air, swimming under the ocean in your submarines. But, you have little or no tenderness, no brotherhood, and this creates more of your problems than those that are thrust upon you by Nature. The death of a man, for example, may be construed as an act of Nature, but, what about the torments that are willfully inflicted upon his widow thereafter? If only you had better understandings in your societies, your Natural limitations would affect you lesser. It astonishes me that with the passage of time, instead of widening your mind, you have narrowed your own vision, narrowed your perspectives. Why blame cosmic evolution alone? Meditate, evolve, grow, understand, be kind, let love flow, divert your energies to helping each other. Discharge this role, then, see how cosmic evolution helps. Verily , the key to cosmic evolution, is your individual evolution, so, why put spokes in the wheel of the Universe?”
“Are our responsibilities so great?” asked the snake.
“ Yes, they are, but learn to take it step by step, carry forwards the torch of love and kindness, of harmony, don’t extinguish it, take the cosmic marathon forwards” replied the Yogi.
