‘MAYADAKSHENA PRAKRITI’
Are things around us in nature happening on their own? Or
has it been programmed to work apparently on its own? If u think deeply and
logically the answer is v v obvious
The sun rises at a predictable time, sets at a predictable
time. So does the moon. The weather can be predicted, the seasons are
predictable. The movement of earth around the sun is fixed roughly at a
constant of about 365 days and it itself rotates around its own axis once in 24
hours. So how intelligent is is on our part to say that these things are
happening on their own without control of an external superior intelligence?
Even a so called automatic machine requires an operator or
atleast we can requires an intelligent person to have created it. The person is
so intelligent that he has set it in such a way that the machine can apparently
work independent of his further control. So look around you can extend this
logic to things u r witnessing everyday and u will agree that ‘Constancy
means ‘controlled’’.
Nature can teach us a lot – Every insect, plant, animal, bird or for that matter a human is being controlled
From the Bhagavad-gita we can understand Krishna because He
is explaining Himself. What is the difficulty to understand. There is somebody
Superior in all aspects of material activities. The sun rises exactly on time,
the seasons changing, fruits appearing, and flowers. There is no change in the
law of nature. Don't you think that there is a Superior Being managing these
things. Why not accept this proposal. It is no explanation that it is simply
accident that all these things are going on so nicely. "Mayadhaksena
prakrti suyatte sacara caram . . . This material world is working under my
direction, O son of Kunti, and it is producing all moving and unmoving beings.
By its rule this manifestation is created and annihilated again and again.''
[Bg. 9.10].- Srila Prabhupada - Letter to: Mr. Prem J. Batra
-- Vrindaban 2 April, 1976
Yet man is foolishly trying to be independent of the control
of the Lord (which is not possible in the first place). This is the cause of
his bewilderment and suffering in the material world. It is directly attributed
to our desire to enjoy independent of the Lord and for being currently in a
bodily concept of life.
By surrendering onto the Lord we re-enter our original
consciousness, Krishna consciousness.
