Ordinarily the Divine Will acts from behind through the veil of ego and desires, not directly. To believe that all that happens in the world is the result of the Divine Will is to land straight in the net of the hostile forces. If all was already the expression of the Divine Will then there would be no necessity of personal effort, choices and the law of karma. One has to progress a lot inwardly to quieten the push and pull of ego and desire to even know what the Divine Will is. Therefore instead ofย presuming that any action is being prompted by the Divine it is better to step back, reflect upon the action and its possible repercussions and consequences, especially whether it will bring or increase Peace, Harmony, Light in one’s own and others around or the opposites. Then one should make a conscious choice and assume responsibility for the deed rather than passing the onus to God.
Affectionately,
