God is Neither Partial Nor Cruel

Let’s be honest — we’ve all had those moments.
Moments when life feels unfair. When the good suffer, the dishonest prosper, or tragedy strikes without warning. And in those moments, a question arises quietly in our hearts:
If there is a God… why does this happen?

This is where many people start to doubt — not because they’ve lost faith, but because their faith is hurting. And that’s exactly why this teaching from the Jagadguru matters so much.

He reminds us: God is neither partial nor cruel.

It may feel that way sometimes. When things go wrong, it’s tempting to imagine a God who favors some and punishes others. Or worse, a God who watches silently as we suffer. But this is a misunderstanding — not of God, but of how the universe operates.

The key to this puzzle is karma — the law of cause and effect.
Not as punishment. Not as reward. But as the natural unfolding of actions. We are not puppets. We are participants. And everything we experience has a context — seen or unseen — shaped by lifetimes of choices.

That’s not always comforting in the moment. But it offers something deeper: accountability with grace. We are not being targeted. We are being taught. And even in the hardest moments, God remains neutral and benevolent — never arbitrary.

Imagine a mirror. It reflects whatever stands before it — with no opinion, no preference. The divine is like that. It holds the universe in perfect balance, offering us the space to learn, grow, fall, and rise again.

This perspective doesn’t make pain disappear. But it softens the blame. It transforms the question from “Why is God doing this to me?” into “What is life showing me now?”
That shift — from victim to seeker — is where healing begins.

And more than that, it restores trust. Not in a distant figure, but in a divine intelligence that sees further than we can. One that allows us to fall not out of cruelty, but because it knows we can rise higher through the fall.

So the next time the world feels unfair, pause.
Not to suppress your grief — feel it.
But also… open to this: Maybe this isn’t cruelty. Maybe this is karma unfolding — and grace standing silently beside me as I walk through it.

God is not absent. God is not angry.
God is the still, compassionate witness who holds it all —
without partiality… and without end.
