All the actions of God are correct and justified

All the actions of God are correct and justified

 

In the sacrifice, Dharma Raja wanted to worship some eligible person in the beginning. Bhishma told that Lord Krishna is the best. But Shishupala started scolding Krishna unnecessarily and got punished. He was furious towards Krishna for taking away the bride (Rukmini) fixed for him. The fixation was against the will of Rukmini and Shishupala knows this. Rukmini sent a secret message to Krishna that if Krishna does not turn, she will commit suicide. Life is the most important item to be protected according to justice (Ahimsa Paramo Dharmah…). There was no trace of injustice on the side of Krishna in this event.

 

The mother of Shishupala prayed Krishna to save her son. The Lord prolonged for some time and the punishment was given. Shishupala is the gatekeeper of the Lord and that was the last birth to reach God after the curse and he was very anxious to reach the Lord. His mother does not know all this background and her recommendation to the Lord was against the welfare of Shishupala. If you take the case of Abhimanyu, the Lord got him killed even though he was His beloved relative.

 

People misunderstand this and may think that Krishna is very cruel. Abhimanyu is the incarnation of a demon in disguise. The Lord knows the internal back ground. The doctor knows the internal system and operates the patient for headache. The ordinary observers think that the headache can be cured easily by applying some ointment. But the doctor only knows the reality through the scanning. Therefore, all the actions of God are correct and justified. You should not mistake God for any trace of cruelty. Even if there is a trace of possibility, God will act even before you recommend. He is the father of all the souls and you are only a brother. The love of father is far superior to the love of brother. Moreover, you misunderstand His action of punishment as revenge.

 

The action of God is only for the welfare of the soul and not for revenge. When Krishna killed Shishupala, his soul in the form of a light merged in Krishna. It means the gatekeeper has reached the abode of God after three births as enemy. You misunderstand Krishna as cruel for punishing him just for some abuses. But you do not know the background that Shishupala was His gatekeeper and was very anxious to reach God. Since, your knowledge about a soul is just limited to the present birth only, your conclusions are always wrong regarding God.
