"Poor people keep chanting the name of Almighty God throughout their life by asking only Daal (Lentils) and Roti (Bread) from that Almighty throughout their life. Working like a donkey, they curse fate all day. In the evening, they become great gentlemen and ask God to maintain their livelihood somehow. They do not even once think that a God who can give Daal and Roti them is actually an almighty. He can easily give you delicious food every day. Why, being the master of all, cannot bring prosperity by removing the permanent poverty written in your destiny forever? All is a matter of thinking, all is a matter of understanding, all is a matter of reasoning, all is a matter of knowledge and the conclusion of all is.... education." aacharya Krishna Chandra expressed.
Krishna Chandra was looking around in the hope that poor people would start dancing as they got the formula of richness. In a quick time, he understood that they were not his long-time shishyas who going to understand him quickly.
"From what you just said, it sounds like you support the existence of God," Tejasraja said in an asking manner in a very polite way.
"Just because I talked about demanding from God?" Krishna Chandra asked.
"Yes," Tejasraja replied without any hesitation.
Krishna Chandra had a sigh of relief because Tejasraja could only ask that question if he was listening to Krishna Chandra carefully. It meant that Krishna Chandra's new enemy was smart enough to take good knowledge from his enemy.
"Well, I did not put anyone's attention on God. My concern was about good thinking. Let us suppose that I believed in the existence of God, then what is your question? As far as I understand, your question is not based on God but something else." Krishna Chandra replied politely.
Krishna Chandra was actually interested in Tejasraja's question.
"Yes... you said God is there, he is omnipotent, and he can give everything, but because of the smallish thinking of the poor, they always ask for wrong things. Their way of asking is wrong. Will God fulfill everyone's wishes if we ask in the right way?" Tejasraja asked hesitantly.
Tejasraja was eagerly looking for the answer. It indicated that maybe Tejasraja was not a good aacharya but a very good shishya. As a good shishya, he understood things as quickly as Krishna Chandra wanted from all.
"You are right Pundit Ji, if you have full faith in God and ask well, then all your wishes will come true. The deep fact is, that what you are thinking of as God is Mother Nature indeed. Pundit Ji, know for sure, that Mother Nature behaves completely differently from the Gods created by humans... please tell me, do you have any children?" Krishna Chandra asked.
"Yes, I have a putara."
"Tell me, what do you do when your putara asks you for sweets or a toy?"
"I'll bring it and give it to him."
"Just give, don't ask for anything in return?"
"I am his pitaa... Not a shopkeeper who asks for money for toys. Whatever belongs to me belongs to my putara." Tejasraja answered quickly.
"Then why does the God of the temple whom you call the Supreme Pitaa, always take charity and offering even before and after fulfilling your desires? Why does he call men to the temple continuously for forty days? Why does he ask for fasting for sixteen Mondays, Thursdays, or Sundays?" Krishna Chandra asked.
Words did not come out of Tejasraja's mouth. He expressed his helplessness through facial expressions. That was the indication for Krishna Chandra to go on.
"On one hand you say that God is the pitaa, he is the sustainer of all, on the other hand, you believe that he behaves like a shopkeeper, not like a pitaa. He always takes something to give something. Take care of everyone but keep us poor. Why do you guys have these double standards? In fact, all of you, all the time, affirm that there is no God. Blaspheming, insulting, humiliating, mocking, swindling, enslaving, stealing, manipulating, illegal construction, forcibly taking possession, snatching away one's rights, you are human yet eating meat like animals, consuming intoxicants... by doing each bad thing you prove that God is not there, because if God was there, he would not love you because of non-good deeds. He would get angry with you as our pitaas do. No putara wants to make a pitaa angry. Yet you did it because you know there is no pitaa named God exists." Krishna Chandra said.
Aacharya's words were simple, yet they had deep meaning. When everyone saw the mirror of reality, everyone was surprised. Everyone found that they had trapped themselves in an invisible net.
"How is nature different, Gurudev?" Keshava Kumara asked.
Before answer to his loving shishya, Krishna Chandra looked around to check the body language of his new shishyas.
Everyone seemed interested to know more about Mother Nature.
"Mother Nature is the maataashiri who gives everything without taking anything from her children. Even if the children do not acknowledge her existence. Even if her children do not thank her. Yet she continues to fulfill children's wishes." Young aacharya said.
Krishna Chandra's tone was describing that he loved to talk about Mother Nature's existents.
"Did Mother Nature make you despise like this?" Tejasraja asked hesitantly.
Tejasraja eagerly wanted the answer because many things were happening in his mind.
"Yes, but to fulfill the wish of all of you." Krishna Chandra said happily.
Everyone's necks bowed. Krishna Chandra did not like that. As a true aacharya, he did not like his shishyas in a bad frame of mind.
"It's just a relationship with nature, you ask for something and she gives." Krishna Chandra said to put everyone's focus on the main issue instead of their wrong deeds.
Tejasraja kept silent as he was ashamed of his wrong deeds. Tejasraja was intelligent so he was doing introspection.
The General Minister wanted to ask something.
