Shri KrsnaKnows teaches that whatever is destined is anyway going to happen, so don’t bother about it.
Life is filled with ups and downs and even when we do our best to plan, the results often do not match up. Even though there have been a few moments of joy and some moments of great hardship, it has been my experience that everything works out in the end. Things will either remain the same or they change. Time just moves on and so do we.
This is a great lesson which Guruji has taught. Prior to this time, I did not attribute the truth (that everything works out in the end) to God. But I believe it is so. It’s one thing to say that God is in charge of this life and it is another thing to live it each day. Now, armed with this knowledge I can live it each day forward and know that He has always been present, even when I did not know Him.
This life does not belong to this one called Susan. The experience of this life belongs to the Creator. Susan is an expression, an appearance in the creation. Life on this Earth is like automation of God’s energies. I can no more control this life than I can control the spin of the Earth.
Life is playing the record of all Karma that has been collected in all of existence. It plays them all concurrently—yours, mine and all others. Krsnaji teaches that I am not in control of what happens, nor do I have to be in charge. Those who manifest here are subject to the laws of Creation. The body has its attributes and will experience the material world that way. There is no getting out of that.
One may ask if existence is automation, how can there be free will? The “automation” is the structure, the framework, the rules. The exercise of free will is definitely here. Thoughts and actions are our own creations which further the play in subsequent and consequent appearances. It is for this very reason that we need a Guru, a Knower of Truth.
We can not get out of the karma which has brought us to this appearance. Shri KrsnaGuru teaches His disciples how to best live out this karma and he takes on the job of softening the impact of that karma. Guru KrsnaKnows teaches His disciples how, through Love and Devotion, one can free the embodied Spirit from this Divine automation. He teaches us to make choices and take action from our highest Self and then, just let it be.
Truth shrouded in ignorance still supports, lifts and carries one forward, know that to be God. Lighted knowledge of Truth supports, lifts and carries one forward, know that to be Guru.
