ORDAINED BY FREE WILL

Almighty is Omniscient, Omnipresent,Omnipotent !  Everything in this entire creation happens at His Free Will since, He is absolutely independent to act  in any manner just as per His whims and fancies. (They are utterly incomprehensible for the mortal beings who are part of His creation only).

The theme of everything being ordained by free will of the Almighty is reflected in the sankeertana, "Ni Vetu Dalachina Nikhilamu Natlou", by the poet savant Annamacharya.......

'O My Lord! Everything in this entire creation happens as per Your wish only, since You are the only one with absolute independence to act in any manner.

'What are all these Karmas (Prarabda, Sanchita and Agami - accumulated actions  in the previous births, in the present birth as well as in the near future)?  Is it not easy for us to overcome these in case  You shower Your grace on us?  Since all our 'Karmas' are after all outcome of Your own Play of Illusion, is it not possible for You to mitigate them by a mere 'wish'?

'If at all You decide to bring to a grinding halt, where would be the cycle of countless births and deaths for me any more?  Since You are ruler of all beings of this entire creation, I devotedly surrendered to You only. Where is the necessity for me to think and opt about other forms of deities and austere execution of rites and rituals laid down in  sacred scriptures in pursuit of salvation?

'Where  would  be at all, all our actions of pious and sinful nature, when You take our responsibility and decide to drive them off?  Both of the sorts can't do any harm  to us anymore. You are so kind to lend your helping hand towards me which made  me  wholeheartedly surrender to You !'.....

Very notion that - Jantunam Manava (Nara)  Janma Durlabham! - and as a prime part of the Maya Lila (Play of Illusion) of the Almighty only,is the driving force behind in  our mission  in this life, shall be relaxing  and refreshing for us to indulge in noble living and derive the cherished goal of liberation!



Tiny Blooms of Creation!

Om Shanti!
