WHO AM I ?
15
If God was the creator, then he would perpetually become
our boss and there would be no such thing as liberation. But
there is liberation. God is not the creator of this world. People
who understand liberation will never accept God as a creator.
Liberation and God as a ‘creator’ are two contradictory
statements. ‘Creator’ is someone who does you a permanent
favor and if God is such an entity, then you will always be
indebted to him. As your creator, God will always be your boss
and you will always be his subordinate. Even when you attain
liberation he will be your superior, will he not?
Questioner : Yes, he will be our superior permanently.
Dadashri : Yes, he becomes our permanent ‘boss’ and
therefore there is no liberation. Then liberation cannot be called
‘liberation’. Instead the ‘liberation’ with one’s wife would be
better! At least you can enjoy her cooking, even if at times she
insults you. Even with insults, such ‘liberation’ is preferable.
THEN, WHO MADE GOD ?
If we were to say that God is the creator in reality, then
the logical question to ask would be, “Then who made God?”
So many different questions would arise. People come and tell
me, “We think that God is the ‘doer’ in this world and you are
saying that this is not the case, but it is difficult for us to accept
this.” At that time I ask them, “If I accept that God is the ‘doer’
of things, then who made this God? Tell me this much, who
created the creator of this world? ” It is simply a logical statement
that if there is a creator, then there has to be yet another creator
of this creator. There would be no end to this. Therefore, such
talk is really incorrect.
NEITHER A BEGINNING, NOR AN END TO THIS
WORLD
All this has come about without anybody creating it.
