Question: On God's Role in Conflicts
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
Dr
Hagelin: ‘Maharishi, this is an
interesting question on many people’s minds. “During conflicts people pray to
God for victory. Both sides are convinced God is on our side. God is universal,
God is omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscience, as you said. So whose side is God
really on when soldiers go to war?”’
Maharishi:
‘God is well aware of the hypocrisy
of man. You can’t hide behind the name “God” and do wrong things—you know? He
has set the laws: As you sow, so shall you reap. Period! As you sow, so
shall you reap. This is the kindness of God, who has given man that freedom. You
like—what you like, you can do. You like, you can do. But what you do, you
cannot undo the result of your own doing. You have to bear the fruits of your
doing. As you sow, so shall you reap. As you sow—it’s a law. It’s a universal
law. It’s a universal law.
‘God is not after each man: You do
this, you do this, you don’t do this, you don’t do this. No, no. God is God,
Administrator of the galactic universe! He rules by one law. The law is: Freedom
to you, do what you want to do, and you will get the results of what you do,
that’s all. You can fool yourself, but you cannot fool the Almighty
Intelligence, the Administrator of the universe, the Light of God.
‘Time is now, the world has
suffered a lot. The world has suffered a lot. Thousands of years of suffering
will not continue. Now the Light of God is more awake than ever before. Religion
or no religion, politics or no politics, economy or no economy, the whole life
has to be a living reality! That’s all.’
