No sooner than we got freedom, God deprived us
of Gandhiji. Humans can hardly comprehend what God proposes, yet we can
guess it by thinking deeply. If it wasn’t God‘s will to give us absolute
freedom, He might have let Gandhiji be amongst us. But He wished us to be
free of all kinds of enslavements. The Britishers’ quitting our country had
freed us of external pressures. God has disoriented us by taking Gandhiji
away. It seems that Gandhiji is saying, “You are absolutely free. Apply your
reasoning power and be free in the real sense of the term. However great a
man may be, can he free the whole country? I will have to put myself to
sleep.”
Similarly, I have to get freedom for myself.
If God would always send a messiah for us it won’t ensure our progress. God
doesn’t incarnate very often. People say that darkness has spread out after
Gandhiji’s demise, but I feel that the day is about to break. Open your eyes
and you would know. Gandhiji used to say time and again, think discreetly
over whatever I say; accept it only if it appeals to your reason. But we
didn’t even care to think and kept following him. That is why God must have
decided to make us think.
