IS IT POSSIBLE TO AVERT DISASTER PROPOUNDED BY GOD ?

It is the duty of every wise man to deliberate and contemplate on this important question. Amongst the obstructing constituents of the important work of immediately pushing out series of calamities causing ‘Pralaya’, there appear two wrong beliefs which are great obstacles. The first is the belief prevailing from a long time in the Hindu religion according to which “it is the God only who is the creator, sustainer and destroyer of the universe”; whereas in accordance with the second belief “Mainly, God only incarnates himself in order to reduce the burden on earth.” Because of these, people consider Pralaya normal and only a necessary phenomenon destined by God. 

As regards the first belief it suffices to say that, in fact, ‘Parabrahm Ishwar’ is not the creator or destroyer of universe, he is merely the sustainer. In accordance with the laws of nature, universe comes into existence and is created and gets worn out and ultimately dissolved by nature itself. Whereas the power of causing destruction in between is ‘Avidya-Maya’ (opposite power of God) and its forces. ‘Parbrahm Ishwar’ is only the sustainer and that too mostly through moral and spiritual means. 

It is true that incidentally, the incarnations of ‘Parbrahm Ishwar’- Bhagwan Shri Ramchandraji and Shri Krishna Parmatma in view of their having taken birth in warrior class,  had engaged themselves in wars or advised them in performance of true duty, engagement in judicious reign of states for protection of ‘Dharma’ and morality because of inevitable circumstances, in their natural motiveless fervour absorbed in ‘Brahm’, but these occasions are exceptions and not rules. 

Hence, even though ‘ParBrahm Ishwar’ takes birth for removal of sufferings of the people born through ignorance, by establishing of ‘Sat-Dharma’, yet it is not established that He can do this work only violence. The through examples of Shri Kapil Bhagwan, compassion-incarnate Shri Buddha Bhagwan, uplifter of ‘Dharma’ Shri Ishu Bhagwan (Jesus Chrisr), Incarnation of love Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhuji and Satyayuga-dharni Shri Ramkrishna Parmatma are enough.

From this it will be possible to see that there is no real relation of true incarnation of ‘ParaBrahm Ishwar’ as performer of violence or ‘Pralaya’. ‘Parbrahm Ishwar does not incarnate to literally lessen the burden of earth and hence the question of violence is out of place. The purpose of incarnation of God is lighten the terrified hearts and mind of mankind by removing through his power of truth the forces of 'Maya' and 'Avidya' which have taken grip of the human hearts, by removing through true knowledge the wrong beliefs established in the psychology of mankind, by His sacred and divine sport. Violence, however, makes people dependant on destiny or inhumanity.
