Silence Speaks
Lord Krishna, the regime of Lord Rama was over. It is now the regime of Lord Krishna which is to continue till the next avatar comes into the world. This is the phenomenon of Nature which I bring to light for your understanding.
For myself I can say that gods as they are were there even before I had submitted myself to my master. But none of them ever felt inclined to pull me up. It was my master alone who picked me up to help me in the pursuit. Whom should I now be indebted to, to the gods or to my great master?
As a matter of fact gods are the various powers of Nature, set up to work out her designs. In that respect they are therefore like the different parts of a machine. The avatars too have generally induced people to worship God, and if one adheres to them he must follow their advice in the literal sense. Singing of hymns in praise of gods may promote the feeling of bhakti and may thus be useful to some extent, but they can never be helpful to you in the solution of your real problem. It would therefore be better if during leisure hours you rest your thought
