God is not our Servant. Yes. Of course, god is not our servant, and he can be considered only as our perfect divine master. Though for his true devotees like Kuchela, he acts as their servant, yet in our case, the great almighty must always be treated as our Universal Master.
Whenever we offer our prayers to him, we must have to tell our needs and desires to the god in a polite manner. We must not take things as if it was granted to us. We should cultivate the habit of developing more and more bhakti on the almighty, must maintain strict patience, and we should never quarrel with the god during the times of our difficulties. We should clearly understand one thing, and that is, god is not creating any problems to us, and it is not his duty to make us to suffer.
Most of the problems are created by us only, due to our own negligence, laziness, disobedience, lack of interest to work hard and many more. Nowadays even our servants also called as helpers are not obeying our orders. Most of them are doing their work on their own style, and even if we ask one question, they would surely tell many more answers for that!
Some non-believers of god are badly commenting about the god, and some of them are comparing the great almighty equivalent to the dog, by telling an example, that if we read the word “G O D”, from backwards, we would get the word “D O G”. But even if we consider god as equivalent to the dog, it is correct one only, since god dwells everywhere, even on the souls of the dogs, and moreover, dogs are very good animals and the vehicle of Lord Kalabhairava is dog only, and most of the Hindus, used to mention the animal dog, only as “BHAIRAVA”. During the times of troubles, some people used to ask, “Why Lord Brahma has created me? Did I ever ask him to create?
But for such type of questions we would never get answers. Since Lord Brahma would never appear before anyone who asks such types of questions, since it is not his duty to reply to such types of stupid and silly questions!
But sometimes if our sufferings exceed more than the tolerance level, surely we would get agitated, and we used to ask questions to the god! We should understand one thing, that, whoever born in this world, must have to surely suffer at least from some small problems in their life, and no one can escape from that. If we study the life history of Rama and Krishna, then we would be able to know that how even the divine avatars like them, suffers from many more problems in their life!
Problem must not be considered as a problem, since each and every problem contains some solutions also! Some wicked demons like Hiranyaksha and Hiranyakasipu considered themselves as equivalent to the god, and they also tried to make the god as their servant, but, finally they were killed by the god himself!But the Bhagavathas like Prahalada, Dhruva and Narada considered the god as their master, by considering themselves to be his humble servants, and hence, they have shined brightly in their lives, and still they are shining marvellously on the skies!
