Based on the Bengali text titled "God's Will" (ঈশ্বরের ইচ্ছা) by Keshub Chandra Sen, here are 3 key points from the passage:
1. The Divine Example through Humanity
The text posits that while God is the ultimate example for the first half of life's purpose, human beings serve as the example for the second half. It argues that children are the ones who teach parents the true meaning of devotion and service. To facilitate this understanding, God periodically sends "high-level seekers" or "Sadhus" to the world to demonstrate how to love the Divine with one's entire soul.
2. Service as a Sacred Mandate
The author emphasizes that spiritual devotion is incomplete without active service. If the "Mother" (the Divine) commands work, it must be performed with total commitment of mind and body. Specifically, the text highlights the duty to alleviate the suffering of the poor and distressed, viewing the service of "Mother’s children" as the ultimate form of worship.
3. Nature and Saints as Instruments of Will
The passage suggests that just as nature—rivers, wind, fire, and flowers—is created by Divine Will to serve humanity, "Sadhus" and selfless workers are born to serve the Divine mission. Each saint or seeker reflects a specific quality or attribute of God. The text warns that confused individuals often mistakenly separate these holy figures from the Divine source, leading to a lack of unity with the "Mother."
Would you like me to look up more information on the spiritual philosophy of Keshub Chandra Sen or the history of the Brahmo Samaj?
