VITAL
QUESTIONS

2. 1. Why is it advised by a guru; that; we should withdraw
from the urge of changing the world; and pay attention
to improvement of self?
2. Why is it said that; “Everything works according to the
wish of God”; and what is the social implication of this
aphorism?
Why is it advised by a guru; that; we should withdraw
from the urge of changing the world; and pay attention
to improvement of self?
The self improvement here; implies the process of
overcoming subjective whims and fancies.
Unless we work on the self improvement; we cannot see
the world as it is. Hence; we cannot respond to the
circumstances appropriately. In absence of self
improvement; we generally respond; as per our
gullibility, pettiness, prejudices, presumptions, biases,
or varying proportion of all these.

3. Hence; we get dragged after deceptive perceptions of
ours; and get disappointed or delirious; repeatedly; and
remain far from inner satisfaction!
Self improvement; helps us to see the world as it is; and
saves us; from being deception! It enables us to respond
and appropriately to any situation; satisfactorily.
This can be understood also by the analogy of oxygen!
In airplanes it is rightly instructed; to first use the
oxygen mask yourself and then help others; so that you
can help the others; surely and maximally. Similarly; in
absence of self improvement; we may die “spiritually”
and won’t be able to help and/or change the world;
appropriately, surely and maximally.
Why is it said that; “Everything works according to the
wish of God”; and what is the social implication of this
aphorism?
Everything “works”; according to the “wish” of God;
simply means; the world does not function according to
any individual’s “wish”; and not according to merely;

4. the causes; deduced or invented by some of our
ancestors; from all over the world!
This is because of the contribution of our other
ancestors, who searched for (through their dedicated
study, contemplation and experiments on themselves);
the root cause; of the individual wishes, thoughts,
feelings, passions, actions, metabolic processes; and for
that matter; everything going on in the living and
nonliving universe.
In the course of time; they did not discover or invent;
but actually got merged with the root cause! The state of
“being” they “experienced”; was variously termed as;
realization of; self, God, nothingness, zero (shoonya),
great zero (maha-shoonya), great cause (maha-karana),
mukti, nirvana, samadhi, sthitapradnya avastha and
amrutanubhava (experience of immortality and
eternity).
They “experienced” that this state; unexplainable; by
any words; is beyond; the human concepts (such as
tangible cause and effect relationship), human existence
and beyond matter, space and time. They “experienced
this state as a root of everything; and hence the source
of the “wish” of everything!

5. It is in this sense; that everything works according to the
“wish” of God; even as the cause and effect relationship
and its study are undeniably valid; till we experience the
state of immortality!
Now regarding the implication; the universal dynamics
actually embodies; chain of causes and effects; such as
ultimate, penultimate and immediate.
God’s “wish” is an experience of the ultimate cause of
all causes. If we are aware of it; then we can respond
appropriately; to the penultimate and immediate causes,
which perpetuate the personal and social evils; such as
corruption, crimes, terrorism and wars.
However; if we ignore the role of penultimate and
immediate causes; then we tend to become inert and
irresponsible; and absolve ourselves and others; from
the involvement in corruption, crimes, terrorism and
wars.
Thus; the social implication of “Everything happens
according to God’s wish” is; to reach the root or
ultimate cause; become objective and selfless; and heal

6. the root, penultimate and immediate causes of evils in
personal and social life.
