Critical Appraisal of Asharamji Bapu Critical Appraisal of Asharamji Bapu | Page 91

Why Bapuji refuses to use his powers on himself? Some people argue that "If Asharamji Bapu is a great saint whom his followers worship as God, then why can't he save himself from all these problems?" History has ample proofs, that even great incarnations like Lord Rama, Lord Krishna faced all sorts of problems as any normal human being would do. Lord Krishna left the battle field while fighting against Jarasandhaa and established a new kingdom in Dwarika. Like in case of Lord Rama- ‘Abduction of Mata Seeta’, ‘Hurdles in defeating Ravana’ & Guru Arjandev was imprisoned and tortured by Mughal tyrants. Guru Teg Bahadur was arrested and beheaded by Mughal tyrants. Guru Hargobind was imprisoned in Agra jail. What should we interpret then? They were not the gods? They were not efficient enough to use their powers? No! the fact is that, the great souls as Lord Rama & the Self-Realized saints like Buddha, Kabir, Jesus, Mirabai, even Asharamji Bapu too never use their powers for themselves. Instead they believe in "Total Acceptance & Surrender" to the system of the Nature. The notable part is, "100/100 times" such great souls only have "Won"! That's exactly what's happening in the case of His Holiness Sant Shri Asharamji Bapu every time.
