Why God is silent for cruel deeds?

satya sai baba quote
Where people accept narrow ideas and where people conduct themselves unjustly or incorrectly, God remains only a witness to all that and has no part to play in such situations. It is the quality of a bright lamp to shed light. In the light thus shed, many persons may be reading texts which they wish to understand. They may also perform several good deeds. They may also perform thefts in the light shed by the lamp. They may use the light as a help to themselves in doing many bad things. But, there is no great reputation which the lamp itself gains by the many scholars who benefit by reading books in the light shed by the lamp, nor is there any disrespect which the lamp acquires because of the false accounts written by people using the light... Whatever bad or good is done, it is not done by the lamp. In the same manner, God does not gather any praise or blemish by the good or bad done by the individuals in this world. He is only a witness to all that goes on.

Egoism

Egoism is a thorny bush, which when planted and fostered in one's heart, makes one pay the penalty. Egoism makes enemies of even dearest friends; it ruins many good causes and projects, for it does not allow two competent men to work together. Grief follows it like a shadow. Joy, peace, courage, co-operation and love flourish in the absence of the ego. When man is aware that the same Divine consciousness that motivates him is equally motivating all others, then love ousts the ego to the background and takes charge of man's actions, words and thoughts.

Saadhana

sairam.
Saadhana is the essential thing even for you, for no age is too early for this. Just as you tend the body with food and drink at regular intervals, you must also tend to the needs of the inner Atmic body by regular repetition of the Name and meditation and the cultivation of virtues. Holy company, good attitude and sacred thoughts are all essential for the growth and the health of inner personality. The body is the mansion of the Lord of the world. In so far as you are particular about coffee or tea at regular intervals, be also particular about meditation and recitation of the Name at fixed times for the health and liveliness of the Spirit.

Then, you must develop mutual love and respect. Tolerate all kinds of persons and opinions, all attitudes and peculiarities. The school, the home and the society are all training grounds for tolerance. At school, the teachers and pupils must be aware of their duties and rights. The relationship must be based on love, not fear. Only an atmosphere of love can guarantee happy cooperation and concord. Above all, be good, honest and well-behaved. That will make the university degrees more desirable and valuable.
