OUR OWN DOING

Professor Amiya Kumar Hazra

 
I do not know how far Baba's prayer, which was given universally, would change or reform us, but if you read that prayer of repentance, you will certainly agree that if we have to pray at all to someone called God, we should pray exactly in those words, which have been dictated by Meher Baba, in which He goes to the extent of people seeking forgiveness for even hurting others by thoughts and words let alone deeds.

So finally it remains to be seen whether the world becomes a good place free from all shortcomings, or it, the cream of creation as it is called, goes down the drain and meets its just punishment by dint of its own doings sooner or later as decreed by laws that work upon it.

We are not worried about the collapse of stars as Chandrashekhar, another scientist, did. We are worried about the impending doom on our own planet, the collapse of our world, which is populated by human beings, the cream of creation, the most sentient and intelligent of all creatures that have been brought into existence by the mighty creative force of the supreme king whom we call God, Allah, Brahma, etc.

But then such a collapse will be our own doing, the self-invited suffering which has been pointed out by Avatar Meher Baba, and not by any other agency of punishment, because God will not have anything to do with such punishment, because I witnessed only compassion and mercy in Him as the very personification of God in human form as Avatar Meher Baba.
