Be One with God

Q:
If God is all merciful
and compassionate, how do you explain earthquakes, tidal waves
and so on? |
M: There are many ways to look at things. If we think that this physical body, our physical possessions or this physical existence is all there is to life and the universe, of course we might believe that God could be so careless as to destroy things and take people's lives. But if we see things in a spiritual way, if we trust in God's wisdom, then everything is all right; everything is perfect. That's another way to look at it.
More practically speaking, we're also responsible for all the disasters on this planet - perhaps not all, but many of them. We cut down trees, which reduces the rainfall and encourages more landslides and more drought, and this in turn affects harvests and makes many people go hungry. And we test atom bombs: here, there and everywhere. We interfere with the stability of the globe, with the way it vibrates and changes and turns. So we cause many of these unspeakable disasters by ourselves.
Then again, we may blame God, which is all right. Hes is there so it's convenient. But for anything that God takes away, Hes gives back another because as the Creator Hes can create and Hes can destroy. But we'll never know for what purpose unless we learn to be one with God, to ascend into the higher dimensions where the intelligence is boundless and the vision limitless. Then we can see the order of the workings of the universe, and understand why some of these things happen. Then we'll know that everything is for the best, and we won't blame God anymore.
