Difficulties, troubles and worries come in the natural course as a
consequence of past actions. Human birth is the result of Karma (past
actions); there can be no escape from its consequences. As is your
action, so is the reaction. When you stand before a mirror and offer
salutation, your salutation gets reflected to you. If you address harsh
words to the mirror, the harshness again comes back in the same manner.
It is evident that the fruits of our actions are determined by the
nature of our actions. Man is an image of God. ‘God appears in human
form (Daivam maanusha rupena)’ declares the scriptures. God does not
come down as Avatar to relieve specific individuals of their troubles
and sorrow, and to confer joy and happiness on them. God takes a human
form from time to time to show humanity how human lives can be
divinised. (Divine Discourse, 3 Sep 1988)
