SYNOPSIS: When we make a relation with the Supreme Father through devotion, GOD takes responsibility for all our worries. If we start contemplating GOD, GOD takes care of all our worries. READ THE FULL ARTICLE BELOW -
A worldly father is concerned about his son. It is natural. The secret behind it is that for the worry, the necessary attachment and affection for the son is also given by GOD. But when the worldly father is entangled in business problems or his health problem overtakes him, then the focal point shifts from his son to his business or health.
But His devotees are always at the focal point of Supreme Father because in one form He always keeps His focus on His devotees. By the strength of devotion, we can tie GOD that He only and only stays with us in one form. This can only be done by GOD. Only GOD has the capability to do this. A lively example of this is the context of Maharaas where originally there was one GOD and many Gopis but then GOD took as many forms as there were Gopis. Like many Gopis, GOD took as many forms. A worldly father is divided among his four sons but GOD is never divided amidst His uncountable devotees because He stays with them all in one form.
Much more than the worldly father, our Supreme Father is concerned for us. A worldly father despite his wish cannot help his sons beyond a particular extent. He has a limitation but GOD has no limitation. GOD can do and He does so much good that we cannot even imagine.
Therefore we must develop a much bigger relationship with the Supreme Father than our worldly father because He is the Father of all our births.
The relation between a worldly father and a son is like that of dust particles of the soil of a desert. Two dust particles are together then wind blows and one dust particle goes flying somewhere and the other dust particle goes in a different direction. Likewise, the relation of a son and father of one birth does not stand in the next birth just as the wind disturbs the union of two dust particles, likewise, death destroys the union of two creatures. Like due to wind the first dust particle flew to a new place and had a union with a new dust particle, similarly, after the death in a new birth a creature enters into a new relationship with another soul. But the dust particles in the first place were connected to the earth and when the wind blew it to a different place, there too it would remain connected to the earth. Wherever it may go its connection with earth will always be in place. Similarly, in every birth, in every species, our connection with the Supreme Father always remains stable.
It is only the Supreme Father whose union is available in every birth and remains constant birth after births. Therefore we must establish a union with GOD through devotion and must develop such eligibility that GOD becomes of only us in one form.
Whoever is able to do so, GOD takes his responsibility. The saints have clearly said that the work of a creature is to contemplate GOD with devotion and the work of GOD is to be concerned for the devotee. GOD does His work nicely but it is the creature who alienates himself from devotion. He leaves the contemplation of GOD and remembers worldly relations and things.
The Supreme Father is concerned for us and we need no evidence for it. The saints have said that GOD observes a small black ant inside a black coal mine in a black new moon night and is concerned for it. A creature is a part of GOD and therefore GOD is always concerned about His part. Like our hand is our body part and we are always concerned that it never gets hurt, similarly, all souls are the part of GOD therefore GOD is concerned for all and whoever undertakes devotion of GOD, GOD is fully concerned for him.
A worldly father cannot be concerned for us beyond a certain limit. If some big worry comes to him, he will leave our worry but GOD is always concerned for us because there cannot be any worry which can come to GOD. GOD is beyond all worries, GOD is beyond all calamities and GOD is beyond all problems. Worries, calamities and problems affect the worldly creatures but they cannot affect the Supreme Father.
Therefore, we must develop a permanent relationship with GOD through devotion, who is always and thoroughly concerned for us. This is our duty as well as we must do it to express our gratitude. If we are able to develop a relationship with the Supreme Father then our welfare would be ensured for births after births together because GOD will be concerned for us in all births.
