Good intention is not a substitute for good intelligence.

So when someone from another religion speaks like this, we feel so disgusted.

But when we speak, we say that we are not talking about our God, we are talking about this general God. So this is like taking cheap shots. When atheists face a big problem, they say where is God? So there is a pendulum that interprets the events of nature to destroy other religions or to destroy religion itself.

So its second extreme is that we try to put God in every event of nature and interpret it. In reality, we will have to do a calm analysis that what has happened, why has it happened. And jumping to conclusions that seem to justify our philosophy.

What is this? This is a sign of our insecurity. That we need proof of our spiritual knowledge somewhere. Why do we need to be so insecure? And the last thing, H, is it helpful or harmful in this way? Bhaktivinoda Thakur says that people come to God on four levels.

Because of fear, desire, duty and love. So in our scriptures, especially in Bhakti Sampradaya, the Acharya, the saint, mostly tells us to come to God on the level of love. And tells us to come to God on the level of duty too.

But on the basis of fear and desire, he does not try to bring people to God. Because it leads to a materialistic conception of God. It becomes a materialistic conception of God.

In our scriptures, in 5th chapter, there is a description of hell. But Prabhupada ji, in very few places, he has not advertised anywhere that if you worship God, you will go to hell. He says that you are a soul.

And the happiness you get on a materialistic level is so small. You understand with intelligence that how big happiness is for you. And how big is the meaning of your life.

Why are you leaving it for this small happiness? So on the level of intelligence, he advises us to come to love in Bhakti Sampradaya. So in today's society, if someone advertises on the level of fear, there is an audience for that too. But the people who will be attracted to that, most of the people are also pessimistic.

They get manipulated by emotions and do a lot of things. Especially the extremist, intolerant religions, mostly on the level of fear, they say that those people are so bad, they are atheists, they are like this, they incite people on the level of fear, and then make them do riots, make them terrorists. So such intolerant people, if they come on the level of fear, they have their own insecurity, they themselves are insecure, that's why they think that God is also insecure.

If there is a crime against them, if someone challenges them, they think that God is also insecure. And if someone challenges God, if someone criticizes God, God also gets very angry like an insecure person. Similarly, God also gets angry.

So there is such a thought that most of the people in today's society become alienated from God, go away from God. A few years ago, there was a movie, PK, in which it was said that the one who got scared went to the temple. So now it is a misconception that the one who got scared, people do a lot of things because of fear, they go to the therapist, the one who gets scared, gets worried, they go to watch PK movie.

So most of the people understand that this is a manipulation and this manipulation is a power trick, you are manipulating to keep power, it seems like this. So in our scriptures, we have to show people how God is complete with love and we have to attract people to that level. So whatever has happened in this incident, in that we have to show God's love, not God's anger.

Whatever happened, for whatever reason, God is with you. God is in your heart and God is ready to help you. In this world, the cause of suffering is very very difficult to know.

It is very difficult to understand why we feel sad. But why we feel sad, for whatever reason, God is our comfort amidst suffering and God is the ultimate cure for our suffering. That God is ready to give us relief and peace in sadness and is ready to take us beyond sadness in the end.

So we have to emphasize more on that feeling. Thank you. Hare Krishna.
