THE DIVINE PLAN 1. "are we a part of properly conceived meticulously planned and brilliantly executed grand design?" in other words are we programmed by divinity? discuss. the universe is infinite and it contains crores and crores of stars, planets, satellites, asteroids, comets etc. in its mysterious womb. but irrespecive of this vastness and multiplicity, every being in the universe, ( ie., small or big, animate or inanimate), is controlled by some strict code of discipline. it is this divine code of conduct that makes the stars shine, the planets rotate and revolve, and the mysterious comets make their regular routine visits through regular routes. this code of behaviour is applicable to the planet earth and its inhabitants also, as they are, as a whole, part and parcel of this gigantic operation called the universe or brahmanda. just like the divine laws which regulate and control the functioning of the heavenly bodies, there are some divine laws in the lower plane also. the span of life of living beings on earth is short, but by the mercy of the creator, the intervals between the two ends of birth and death, ( ie., the period of life), is at the disposal of the living beings. among the living beings, man is the most developed one, physically and mentally. as such, he is powerful and can do whatever he likes as the uncontrolled free-will of the individual may upset the rythm of the divine plan, the law of karma is enforced to limit the area of free-will. still we hear daily of many atrocities of man. the reason is that we are not so cultured as we claim to be. imagine the position, if there is no divine law to bridle the devil in man .
