degree of freedom

 

No superior power will intervene to our either benefit or detriment so long as our very existence is under total challenge or jeopardy. 
If I give you a list for shopping and you are going about following it properly, why should I follow you all the way to the shop reciting like a mantra the contents of the shopping list? 
 In fact many managers and supervisors indulge in this wasteful activity.. 
No one can afford to cultivate a healthy plant if he just fixes the plants on the soilbed or pot  and uproots the plant every day to check whether the root is growing properly.. 
Sometimes humans in their overzealousness of bhakti or such instincts expect God to clean the dishes in their households after they have eaten their meals.. 
In fact that Power has given us sufficient degree of freedom to fend for ourselves within limited circles..
 If we fail Him even in those small circles then we are beyond repair.. 
The manufacturer fabricated his machine with enough lateral and rotational freedom, say, with wheels and shafts and provided energy source, and means to channelize the energy. 
Therefore,the consumer’s function is to start the engine and ensure that there are no minor hiccups  on the way.. 
If the regular user cannot look after even this, only God can help him.. 
Or perhaps even god cannot help him. 
 In such cases, the end-user does not deserve help.. 
He is destined to be helpless.
