Scenario for you -
A person goes into theatre for life saving surgery, the family who are Christians pray to God that their loved one survives. Unfortunately their loved one doesn't make it.
In the above example are you saying that God hears this families prayers yet decides that this person surviving the operation is not part of his will and let ...[text shortened]... rson die? If surviving the operation was part of his will then could he have saved this person?
Prayer is for forgiveness, it isn't a demand. It is our duty to pray, if and when God accepts our plea then things turn out better in life. What ,makes life better or worse however is not what we always perceive as positive or negative. Our manifestation of a spiritual account is mere in languages and words which enable us to relate to what we deem as a moral compass whereas the reality of god and bad “One calls others bad and good, as long as he himself is in the control of duality”.
The battle of the mind and what we call reality is deceiving and the cause of internal war “By indecision and inner conflict, you will come to ruin. Good and bad both pull at you”
However, that being only of a dimension and conduct we can relate too. Good and bad are incomprehensible and absolutely relative to the frame of mind of the observer. “The whole world is engrossed in bad and good. God’s devotee is above both, but those who understand this are very rare”
God is infinite power and everything else is its enclosure, so whether someone tries to prove makes no difference to HIS overall Authenticity. Divine knowledge is abundant in its manifestation in the world and beyond, now who understands it in whatever degree depending on their perception ability that is what projected to the world. Study is a creative method of exploring the universe, it is ever going subject with amendments, corrections and it leads to new horizons of study.
Scholars expound on peoples' belief without accepting their theory but put forward an infinite answer that is the most probable idea about the God. Nobody's theory and whoever tries hard in their life is not comprehensive ideology, but there is much more to understand and in the end GOD is the only ultimate power to explain HIS ideology in totality.
In respect to birth and death and in the good example you give.....death is not a BAD thing! It is not something we prayer against. If the divinity force is within and intangible then in this context the soul is ‘timeless’, non-temporal’, ‘deathless’, ‘not governed by temporal process’, or ‘not subject to birth, decay, and death’ thus merges back with the light of God. So why pray against that?
It’s our love for the world and lack of faith that makes us want more time on the earth. This is mere temptation. Make contentment your ear-rings, humility your begging bowl, and meditation the ashes you apply to your body. Let the
remembrance of death be the patched coat you wear, let the purity of virginity be your way in the world, and let faith in the Lord be your walking stick. See the brotherhood of all mankind as the highest order of Yogis; conquer your own mind, and conquer the world. I bow to Him, I humbly bow. The Primal One, the Pure Light, without beginning, without end. Throughout all the ages, He is One and the Same.
Once we are able to think of God not being contracted or subject to any religion but instead for mankind, can we start to understand the birth/death cycle. Once someone finds god, they no longer need religion!
