"Every drop of blood coursing through the veins is but a drop from the shower of His grace. Can this material body composed of the five elements move or act without His prompting? Every muscle is but a lump of His love. Every bone and cartilage is but a piece of His mercy. Unable to understand this secret, we strut about boasting, 'I achieved this; I accomplished this'. Most people forget that the all-ruling, all-knowing Lord is the puppeteer (sutradhari), the holder of strings that move the puppets and make them act their roles. Character cannot deviate even a dot from His directions; His Will guides and determines every single movement and gesture. It is indeed unfortunate that most actors claim they are the actual doers and enjoyers, plunged in ignorance of the basic truth. When will people ever realise that they are but bags of skin, executing His will?", rued Arjuna. - Ch 10, Bhagavatha Vahini. |
