GOD: Inflictions & Ramifications

Heavy rains batter coastal Andhra Pradesh as LAILA inches closer...Times, May 20...

Laila crosses coast; alert remains...Rain, gales claim 13 lives...The Hindu, May 21...

Laila weakens, leaves 16 dead; Thousands of homes flooded; cyclone threat not over...Times, May 21

East-West Godavari, krishna, Guntur, Praksham, Vishakhapatnam, Nellore...the list of districts prone to Laila keeps on getting longer. 3 persons were killed due to electrocution...

5 others killed due to different reasons by rains and accompanying winds...

The cyclone is slated to generate wind speed upto 125 kmph.

Low lying areas get inundated...electric poles get uprooted...power and communication lines get snapped...thatched huts washed away...trees uprooted ...escape routes flooded....

770 villages submerged...rail-road-air transport affected... thousands of acres of mango, chillies, papaya crops devastated leaving the farmers utterly helpless...

The government, has taken, a relatively swifter action when compared with the recent floods in Kurnool, though the magnitude and severity is less, it kept the state govt on its toes as the CM appointed some special IAS officers and deployed armed forces and rehabilitation camps and also that the casualities are low.

But enough has not been done. Though 65000 people, in-toto have been evacuated to rehabilitation centers, they dont even meet up to the minimal requirements. 

NO restrooms. NO proper sanitary facilites. No food. No water. Insufficient medical aid. 

CAN YOU IMAGINE YOURSELF IN THIS SITUATION? CAN YOU LIVE IN THIS SITUATION FOR 5 MINUTES?

PLEASE DON'T EXIT THE BLOG MISTAKING THIS FOR A NEWSPAPER(FOR U, MIGHT HAVE EXPECTED SOMETHING & ENTERED THIS BLOG)!!!

I blog this article munching a yummy bread-jam toast and pause to consider. They have not been able to have a drop of water, fistful of rice and are endlessly waiting for help. When will life get back to normal? When will the farmers start ploughing their lovely land back? when will the women folk get back to their routine? When will the kids get back to their normal school? when will everything be restored?

But before all that, when the hell will they get out of that godforsaken place and when will this monster leave 'em? Who will provide the answers? The Indian Meteorology Department? The Andhra pradesh state goverment? UPA government? Whom should they turn for answers? But in the first place, are these the right questions?

From a victim's point of view, no doubt, nothing else can be the main concern. And wht more can those victims ask for? surely not selective bread-jam toast. huh! BUT, then WHAT are the right questions & WHO shd ask them? Sitting behind closed doors, inside safe cocoons, neatly placed in ur own little universes, well nestled in ur seats, watching IPL or Football or playing NFS(no offence against any player though!), YOU are the right one to ask. Okay ok...WE are the right ones to ask. But then, 2 more questions, pop-up.

WHAT should we ask? WHOM should we ask?

Any answers? (Dont sue me calling this the third question!)

What is happening in this world? Terrorism. Corruption. High crime rate. Internal forces acting against government and disrupting the routine(the 'Reds'). Politics. Chinni chors. and then we also have, these natural disasters. Volcanic eruptions, earth quakes, floods causing havoc, irrevocable damage, bringing life to a stand still and testing the times! yes TIME! Who runs this world? Let me directly come to the point. Which super power(or supreme power) runs the world.(Fine the question might sound dumb). Hindu or Muslim. Christian or a person of any religion, the generalized term, we refer to The supreme power is, God.

He provides the very energy required to run this world. Evry day. Every hour. Every minute. Every second. Every moment. every revolution required by an electron to revolve around nucleus. And infact the daily bread, we have, too is given by Him.(This bread also includes the one im having right now, no doubt!)

There can be no further doubt to question His omnipresence & omnipotence. His will. Strength. 

The electrons need permission frm Him to go round the nucleus. The protons need His consent to exhibit their positive charge. Gravitons need His permission for causing attracting effect. Photons need permission to leave the sun and travel the long 150 odd million miles journey to reach earth and provide life here. The nature needs permission to run. Leaves need permission to synthesize food using photo(solar) energy. Trees need permission to grow. You, me, infact WE need his very permission to continue our sustenance. He can take away our life at any moment he wants koz he's the one who gave it to us and can take away whenevr he wants.

I ask the reader to pause at this point to consider everything covered till now or re-read the above paragraph and then proceed further.

If God is so loving, caring, compassionate and if evry act of nature depends on his will, why did he let the valves of Laila loose and caused this? I find it hard to continue further as my Mind goes blank. I've no right to question Him about this work of his, considering myself an extremely insignificant part of this indescribably huge ever-expanding creation of His. But then, if we go back to the previous discussions few paragraphs above, we're talking about some right people, requiring to ask the right questions to the right 'authority' over this mess. Yes. You and I, let us ask Him, abt this. But when's the right time? Dont run to get the calender, now is the right time. Let us pose our questions. Well it all depends on us, if we're willing to pose questions or conduct a rapid fire round!(okay, no more comedy with God!)

Huh, so as I've already asked, if we're are a creation of His and his children, why is God inflicting us with this much of pain? "Loka Kalyanam', for the welfare of the world, as a sage might answer expending least energy, with a smile. or, Haven't u read the reports of Met Dept.? Some skeptics question. I'm not interested in the scientific  explanation underlying it. I want an answer from Him. As I said even electrons & protons need His permission, Science too is at his dispense. He can well change the laws at his will and who knows. Ten generations l8r we might study Energy can be created or destroyed!!! So, coming back to the point, why inflict so much  of pain to the world?
This is an age old question though. 
In the movie Dasavatharam, we see the Tsunami lashing away(the same way it did way back in 2004) and the reason the movie tells is: To protect the mankind from that dangerous virus(shown in the movie), God creates Tsunami and ensures that no trace of that virus is left and hence mankind can be saved. But weren't the repercussions jaw-breakingly appalling? The loss of huge properties, natural resources and most importantly, valuable human lives? But then tht sounded rather illogical explanation or may be I must used harsher words for that. But there is this one corner in my mind hinting me, tht of course there is an 'Antaraartham' , an inner meaning behind every act He does, so does this Laila havoc. But then, it requires tremendous patience and infinite will to meditate unto the inner meaning for this. How many more Swami Vivenkanandas do we need to ignite the spark in people to turn at least one step to Godhead? To atleast think of Him and thank Him for having given us this life? 
Of late, I have significantly lost my path(of advancing at least 1 step towards Him and have faced their repercussions). I have inadvertently lost the path of a straight line and traced a curve and have had faced enough ramifications. But now, I find this strange feeling resurfacing and rejuvenating me, energizing me further to, well, not save the humanity from natural calamities and terrorism, but the energy to come, Face to Face with the Will of the Supreme. Yes! Indeed. It has given me new hope of Life.
But one question still remains unanswered. Why God, all this havoc? I'm determined to find an answer and who knows, might live up till I get the answer to blog it out for the potential readers present!
So, the victims in their present state, might not be able to question God for this act. But then, dear Readers, I question you, to question him till He provides us with an answer. We might well demand for an answer and being His children, we get this right. The answer may not be be directly understood by us, as it requires a deep insight into the operational pattern of His will, one day, with some effort, we might come up with an answer! We shall do it...We can... YES WE CAN!
