You get it all wrong. God Almighty always acts as a Dhrista (onlooker)... never interfering with the creation of his. God Almighty is not the form of human beings. It is a cluster of pure cosmic energy... much beyond the comprehension of most human beings! Only when one reaches the level of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) does the broader picture of cosmic system emerge!

Every human being is the master and controller of ones destiny! Whatever we are now results from the karma of past manifestations... the past lives! If you are suffering now... it owes its existence to the negative karma performed by you in the past! Prayers are only a means to mitigate the sufferings!

If we desire improving our present life... we have to enact karma accordingly! The karma performed by us in present life must always remain positive to nullify effects of the negative karma of the previous manifestations. To blame God Almighty for thy karma is being ignorant! None can help in the matter.

Whatever sufferings one passes through... all results from the karma enacted by us in the past lives. The remedy also lies with us! Only by indulging in positive karma one can improve the present... never otherwise! Thinking of committing suicide earns negative points on the karma index.

What if you are born an animal in the next manifestation! The form of human beings is achieved the moment we reach the karma index of 7.300000! For some reason if we are awarded 600 negative points... there is no other alternative than to manifest the form of an animal at karma index of 7.299400.

Out of 8.4 million manifestations by our soul atman within... 7.3 million manifestations are spent in the insect, plant and animal form. In the human form alone we have 1.1 million manifestations! The sole purpose of human life is gaining enlightenment and salvation (moksha). The human form is the highest manifest stage in the cosmic life cycle.

To think of cutting across life is the biggest sin in the cosmic system! Why? For the simple reason that it is our soul atman that has manifested the body to work out its karma and never otherwise! It is not within the capability of our body to manifest a soul atman! By cutting across life we are disturbing the life goal of our soul atman.

In the circumstances we shall be greatly punished by God Almighty. In whatever we stage of life we be in the present manifestation... the next manifestation would be at much lower level! Sufferings and happiness are part of life. When a metal is heated and shaped... we undergo sufferings... the moment shaped metal is put into cold water... we experience happiness!

Only by sufferings and happiness we proceed in the journey of life. This is the only way out for soul atman to remove the dross within! Life itself is a journey... never a destination! Always remember we have one life to live... who knows what we shall be in the next manifestation! Why not live our best... the best we can! Only then the grace of God becomes available to one!

Creator of God
God Almighty practically exists from times immemorial. As the Cosmos does not seem to have a beginning... God Almighty who is part of the Cosmos also exists from times immemorial. God Almighty is not the form of human beings. It is pure cosmic energy the extent of which is beyond the comprehension of human beings. No human being with the limited powers of five senses and the mind can understand the gist of God Almighty.

Names of God
Chanting of gods names would not serve any purpose. Think of it seriously... if by mere chanting people got benefited... the whole world would leave karma and chant but only chant! Chanting is in no way related to prayers. Chanting is simply singing hymns in praise of God Almighty. Yes, one must always indulge in singing praises of God but only after completing their karma for the day. Prayers definitely if said properly reap their rewards!

Existence of God
The entire cosmic system is based on logistics. All is the result of a system that cannot err! Everything in the cosmic system is preprogrammed to the minutest detail! Faith and religion are limited to human beings only... and form only a part of life! Every man god like Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and prophet Mohammed gained enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha) traveling the path of logistics only.

Cosmic Energy and God
Energy... the core of cosmic life exists from times immemorial... it does not have a beginning! After the complete dissolution of the Cosmos occurs... the entire size of the Cosmos reduces to the size of half a thumb... this has been clearly expressed in Bhagavad Gita... the most sacred Scripture of Hinduism existing on Mother Earth. And what is this half the size of a thumb?

Doubting Existence of God
God Almighty did not give us the ability to doubt his existence... he simply made a self propelling cosmic system that works on its own! The power of discrimination available to all human beings... that distinguishes us from animals makes a human being live by ones will! As is the karma performed... so shall be our destiny!
