Who Listens To God?

I was talking about Arjuna and Krishna and why the poor Lord had to tell the handsome prince 18 full chapters of wisdom. He could have finished it in chapter 2 itself if Arjuna would have listened to Him. Just to say that even if God tells you to do something, you will still question His wisdom.

Krishna tells Arjuna to lift his bow and arrow and shoot his enemy and the dude keeps on questioning the Lord continuously about His advices.

We never listen to the Lord at all. Now you will say when does He speak to me?

Of course, He speaks to you all the time but we do not listen to that voice within us which prompts us so much. We go by logic and our superb intellect and arrive at a conclusion which we feel is the right answer for the problem in front of us.

We feel that our way is the right one and we will get the desired result as per our own accord. But sir, it is also mentioned that the results are not in our hands at all.

Then why not do your job well and let the results be His?

The first one is called ego and hence when we say I am doing it, you are actually falling into the karmic loop. Till the time the Lord is advising us and we completing the task as per His wish, the karma falls on the Lords way but the moment we say that let me think about it and do it my way using my superior logic and mind, you are relegating the Lord to the side and saying that He has no clue how to get that done and so the karma is ours only and the Lord does not interfere in it.

The Lord then says, my child has no need for me so let him be at his devices and follow the universal laws of karma. So what will be will be!

They asked me that there are great people who take care of 1000's of lepers and the poor, what about them?

Sure, as per the laws of Karma, the lepers will have to take care of that great persona in the future lives also. Now just imagine this- it means the poor dude who has helped now will have to be leprosy patient in the next 1000 lives so that those whom he has helped now can be of help in his future lives. Now tell me this law is an ass! Otherwise prove me wrong in my analysis.

So coming back to today, we should listen to the Lord or the Guru or our little voice inside and do what is required without using our silly logic and intellect and avoid the karmic trap. Then what happens would be the Lord's results only. He will accept our proxy and destroy our karma's and free us from the traps.

Now see it is very difficult for us to free ourselves of our personal ego and that's what keeps the world of the Lord in perfect motion. He knows the stupid human will never listen to Him.
