Kudarat

Kudrat is the drama of nature that decides our destiny. Prakṛti is nature itself, while Kudrat is its miraculous play. All events, good or bad, are this drama. We grieve losses from selfishness, unable to accept that coming and going is Kudrat's play. Its creation, made from five elements, is a perfectly hidden wonder. We are within this game, our emotions and movements like puppets controlled by Kudrat's threads. We do not understand why this indescribable game was created.

"Banāyā khel kudratne, banānā ho to aisā ho."

"Rachāī palme rachanā, rachanā ho to aisā ho."

This is what God made, what we call Prakṛti and Kudrat. Prakṛti and Kudrat are a little different. Kudrat is a miracle of nature; Prakṛti is nature itself. 'Kudrat' is an Urdu word. So, Kudrat kā khel—this is the drama of Kudrat, the drama of nature. And what will happen is what Kudrat ko manjoor hai, what Kudrat decides. That will happen; that is destiny. Destiny will decide, and that is Kudrat. Destiny is also like Kudrat. So, Kudrat kā khel—the drama of Kudrat. An accident is a drama of Kudrat; a good thing happening is also the drama of Kudrat. The good and bad we face comes from Kudrat, from nature. We have to understand nature. When someone dies, we are sad. When a closer person dies, we are more sad because we are selfish. We lost our good things. But we cannot keep that Kudrat. That is Kudrat kā khel—the play of Kudrat, coming and going. Yet, we are still too weak to lose it. There is one bhajan by Gurujī: "Banāyā khel kudratne, banānā ho to aisā ho." Kudrat has created a game; what a wonder that it has created such a game. And nobody knows why. Nobody understands why. What is perfectly hidden remains perfectly hidden. No one can find out; no one knows what it is. But this is the Kudrat, the khel of Kudrat, the game of Kudrat. "Banāyā khel kudratne, banānā ho to aisā ho. Pṛthvī, Ākāśa and Agni. Banāyā pavana and water." Earth, space (Ākāśa), fire (Agni), wind, and water—these five elements. "Rachāī palme rachanā, rachanā ho to aisā ho." And within no time, He created all this game. What a wonderful, what a perfect, what an indescribable creation God has made, or Kudrat has made. But to say it simply, Kudrat is playing a game with us, and we are in the game of Kudrat. Sometimes we are angry, sometimes we are happy; sometimes we like, sometimes we don't. You know, it is like a puppet with a finger threading, holding and playing with us. So, it is Kudrat who is holding the thread of our body. Sometimes we are walking this way, sometimes that way, and everything is different.
