Chapter 6 text 6 of the Standard Christian Bible states “The LORD regretted that he had made human beings, and he was deeply grieved.” This verse is indeed troublesome to digest as it has a lot of veracity in it. During my search for the ultimate Truth, I asked God several times why is the Creation going in such a haphazard direction & why is there so much cruelty on Earth? Many of you have also asked this question several times, without obtaining an answer. I don’t know if this is the answer but when I read about it in the Bible, I was very perplexed.
However, given that I have also received the spiritual instruction to always remain calm & to be at peace with the Universe, this is what I did in order not to be further troubled. Because this life is not ours- we are only actors. The director of the movie is the one calling the shots & we don’t have any say in the matter. I found this way of living suitable so as not to be in a perpetual mode of stress. Nevertheless, I had & am still having wonderful experiences in the spiritual realm which cannot make me feel bad about this verse of the Bible.
I am Hindu born but I no longer practice any religious rituals & prefer to connect with God through meditation. I have tried to look for a similar verse in some Hindu sacred books, but I didn’t obtain the same… that doesn’t mean it is not written somewhere. Hinduism states that human nature can be evil & that the era we are living in now called Kaliyuga is certainly not a nice one. So, along this line, there is evil which can make God feel bad or is all this pre-destined? It would seem that when this era will end, then a better period will come up. This probably forms part of the mysteries of life & which we must strive to resolve.
Despite not having accurate answers, I can confirm that we can drastically improve our lives & open the doors of lightness, peace, joy & wisdom by carefully daily planned spiritual methods. These can take you out of the whirlpool of material life which is both gratifying & degrading. But when we suffer, we don’t know how to react & where to look for effective solutions. The only medium to provide all-round solutions is the spiritual realm. Of this, I am 100% sure. So, whether, we should also regret or not that human beings are destabilising the whole world, we have the capability to remain undisturbed at all times, if we start to practice a spiritual way of life.
