________________ 34 God who has to look after the whole universe? Thus God must be deemed to be having greater worries and troubles cven than us and how can He with such worry and trouble be called happy and contented? If God was really omnipotent why did he not create every one happy and equal and similar to each other? Some say that the results depend on Karmas and the strange things we observe in this world are also due to Karmas. Then the question arises "What did God do then ? If the soul reaps the fruits of his acts depending on Karmas and according to Karmas, what was the necessity of bringing God in between ? Therefore, it is futile to imagine that God created this world. The existence of the universe is due to Atmas and Karmas only and even though Atmas and Karmas have been in existence from eternity there is an end of this universe for the Atma which has become void of Karmas due to righteous deeds and such an Atma becomes a Paramatma.
