Who Am I?
Who Am I?
Dadashri: Let us talk about what needs to be known first. Who do you think created this world? Who do you think made such a complex, entangled world? What is your opinion?
Questioner: Only God must have made it.
Dadashri: Then why is the whole world filled with worries? Everyone has worries. There is no freedom from worries.
Questioner: That is because everyone worries.
Dadashri: Yes, but if God made this world, then why did he make it full of worries? If he is guilty of creating such miseries, then we should have him arrested. In reality God is not guilty. The people of the world have made him the culprit by calling him the creator of this world.
In reality, God is not the creator of this world at all. All of this is only Scientific Circumstantial Evidence. Therefore all of this is a natural creation. In Gujarati, I call it Vyavasthit Shakti (Scientific Circumstantial Evidence). This is a very subtle fact. THIS CANNOT BE CALLED LIBERATION
A child will say, "God made this." Even a renowned holy man will say, "God made this." This is a worldly viewpoint. It is not the Real viewpoint.
If God were the creator, then he would perpetually become our "boss' and there would be no such thing as liberation. But there is liberation. God is not the creator of this world. People who understand liberation will never accept God as a creator. Liberation and God as a 'creator' are two contradictory statements. Creator means someone who does you a permanent favor and if God is such an entity, then you
will always be indebted to him. As your creator, God will always be your boss and you will always be his subordinate. Even when you attain liberation, he will be your superior, will he not?
Questioner: Yes, he will be our superior permanently.
Dadashri: Yes, he becomes our permanent boss' and therefore there is no liberation. Then liberation cannot be called liberation. Instead the 'liberation' with one's wife would be better. At least you can enjoy her cooking, even if at times she insults you. Even with insults, such liberation is preferable.
THEN, WHO MADE GOD? If we were to say that God is the creator in reality, then the next logical question to ask would be, "Then who made God?" So many different questions would arise. People come and tell me, "We think that God is the 'doer' in this world and you are saying that this is not the case, but it is difficult for us to accept this". At that time I ask them, "If I accept that God is the 'doer' of things, then who made this God? Tell me this much, who made the maker of this world?" It is simply a logical statement that if there is a creator, then there has to be yet another creator of this creator. There would be no end to this. Therefore, such talk is really incorrect. NEITHER A BEGINNING, NOR AN END
TO THIS WORLD All this has come about without anybody creating it. Nobody has created it. Since nobody has created it, then who can we ask about it? I too was searching for the one who had created such a chaotic mess and taken on such a liability. I looked everywhere for that person, but never found him anywhere.
