Me, my Guru – on why God doesn’t come to my rescue

Krishna smiled and replied “first it was I who had the information regarding coming of flood broadcasted through radio. You did not heed my warning. Still I sent boatmen to save you and again you decided to decline my help. Finally I sent helicopter to save you and you still did not escape. And because of your adamant nature you died and even then I brought you here and yet you are complaining....!”

You’ve heard this story like a million times here. So, you tell me, what did you get from it?” she concluded with a smile.

“That it is a story worth hearing million times?” said Murali.

Everyone laughed.

“God sends help through various ways but we may reject it due to our ignorance”

“...or due to arrogance”

“Agreed...”

“Blind faith doesn’t serve our purpose. We should also understand his word that says “ask and it shall be given”. We should trusts that He responds to our call but we can’t believe the fact that He can work His Miracles through anyone and everyone. Can we trust Him on that?”

“His mercy, blessing, help or support may come through any means. We can’t receive it the way we demand it”.

“If we are sensible, we’ll listen to his ‘warning’ of impending danger. These are the people who left the village with most valuable belongings when they heard the warning over radio. If we are stupid then at least we’ll seek his help when things become dangerous. These are the people who took help from boatmen with their limited belongings.

Next category is the adamant, greedy and arrogant types who were standing on rooftops. They didn’t leave the village as some were arrogant enough to think they would be saved because of their bhaktha eg: priest, riches and power believing it to be more powerful to protect them against any calamity. Greedy ones were those who don’t leave as they don’t want their belongings to be lost and somehow are blinded by their greed into believing that the situation can’t be that bad as ‘fore-warned’.
