God created this world?

A child will say, "God made this." Even a renowned holy man will say, "God made this." This is a worldly viewpoint. It is not however, the Real viewpoint.

If God was the creator, then he would perpetually become our boss and there would be no such thing as liberation. But there is liberation. God is not the creator of this world. People who understand liberation will never accept God as a creator. Liberation and God as a 'creator' are two contradictory statements. 'Creator' is someone who does you a permanent favor and if God is such an entity, then you will always be indebted to him. As your creator, God will always be your boss and you will always be his subordinate. Even when you attain liberation he will be your superior, will he not?

Questioner : Yes, he will be our superior permanently.

Dadashri : Yes, he becomes our permanent 'boss' and therefore there is no liberation. Then liberation cannot be called 'liberation'. Instead the 'liberation' with one's wife would be better! At least you can enjoy her cooking, even if at times she insults you. Even with insults, such 'liberation' is preferable.

THEN, WHO MADE GOD ?

If we were to say that God is the creator in reality, then the logical question to ask would be, "Then who made God?" So many different questions would arise. People come and tell me, "We think that God is the 'doer' in this world and you are saying that this is not the case, but it is difficult for us to accept this." At that time I ask them, "If I accept that God is the 'doer' of things, then who made this God? Tell me this much, who created the creator of this world? " It is simply a logical statement that if there is a creator, then there has to be yet another creator of this creator. There would be no end to this. Therefore, such talk is really incorrect.
