Why Didn’t God Create Perfect Human Beings, Which Could Have Led to a Perfect World?
God doesn’t want anything from us and he devised a world for us as a stage to act
The entire world is a miracle and in this, the Human body is one such wonderful creation of God. Every human has a psyche (mind), a body, and a soul to power everything.
We are God’s creation and God is the epitome of perfection. If we create something, we put our best into it and try to create with no imperfections or impurities to the extent possible.
If God is perfect, then why could he not create perfect human beings?
If beings were perfect in their mind, then they would never go wrong. Humans would only walk in the ‘dharmic path’ (the right path) and that would be the end of the suffering. Then there wouldn’t be any need for religion, prayers, and even perhaps no further requirement of God!
Then why do our religions stress prayers, rituals? In my opinion, they do it for our well-being. One who is ‘God loving’ will always understand and try to implement the nature of ‘God’ which is nothing but to ‘love everyone’. God sees everyone to be equal and he says he is omnipresent.
When everyone is God, then how can a devotee hate any other person? This, I find to be the logic behind our religions wanting us every day to conduct prayers and rituals.
What Exactly Does God Want From Us?
A friend of mine, a devotee of God, answered my headline question by saying ‘God expects love from us and if the world is so perfect, then we would never love him back. This is the reason God did not create everyone to be perfect’. We had a friendly deep discussion then, wherein we concluded by more or less agreeing to the fact that God is perfection and in this state — ‘the love is always one-sided and without any expectation’.
I agree and advocate that I truly love a person only when I love him/her without expecting anything back from him/her. Based on this we can conclude that God doesn’t want anything from us, neither our love nor our prayers. Then why did he create everything in the first place ?
All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players
In Hinduism, God is called ‘Jagannataka Suthradhari’ — ‘This whole world is acting in the Direction of God’.
If this above is the case, when God is staging this play with all of us as the players, then God always decides that good should triumph over the evil. Further, why should there be evil in the first place? Why can’t everything be good? Does the question turn to ‘If we are programmed to be perfect, then there is no fun in the Drama?’ Interesting question and I ponder without an answer.
Perfect humans would have perfect minds and hence perfect lives, without intruding into one another’s land or matters either for goals of conquest or to resolve insecurity fearing conquests.
In India, we have a Sanskrit word — ‘Vasudhaiva kutumbum’ — ‘World is one family’, which is the reason why India has never invaded another country. On the other side of it, you find Indians inhabiting across the globe in many countries, accepting and getting accepted world-wide. Well, we may have our internal troubles between the religions within the country, but believe me ‘Unity in Diversity’ is deeply routed and these religious tiffs are only in some groups of people within the country at a low scale and just flared up by the media.
Today world is watching the happening of war and we do not know how big it is going to blow into. The media is already talking about the world being on the verge of ‘World War 3’.
Above brings me back into thinking, ‘Why didn’t God create perfect human beings, which could have lead to a perfect world ?’
I have been told that there are many aspects in this world, which are beyond logic. Hence, I still keep pondering, delving within, for the answer.
