Chronicles of a seeker diving into the unknown

Bhagwat Gita says

"Know the self by serving a master with an attitude of surrender, by questioning him (About the true knowledge) with a desire to know. These wise men, those who see the truth of self, will teach you this knowledge" (IV:34)

A seeker is full of questions and a master is full of answers. My impromptu dialogs with the spiritual Master Nirguna Swami Akshara resulted in these chronicles which i present here for your personal contemplations and awakening..

Who Causes action - We humans or God

me: Namaste Swami ji!I read in your blog "God only make action happen, but does not originate action.". It's interesting...does it mean that an Individual initiates action... how does this statement complement "You are not the controller of your life but you can control such an idea"
Master Akshara: Namaste Puneet! I read in your blog "God only make action happen, but does not originate action. "

Are these exactly the words? Can you cut paste them exactly or check again?

 me: Words are exact...but the whole context could be different...
God cannot discriminate right from wrong. The discrimination faculty belong only to human mind. No doubt, even mind is just a manifestation of same God but these actions are never originated from God but only from human mind. God only make action happen, but does not originate action.(Copied and pasted)
Master Akshara: ohk
it means that action is backed by god
but the intent behind is human
..


me: But that would mean that Human's can have a independent intent...how do this and "You are not the controller of your life..." be both true
Master Akshara: If you wrap a red cloth around the mouth of a torch light it would burn in red color. Though the light burns from inside the torch (God's back up) still the red cloth decides the shade of the light (human intent).


All the different shades that can be wrapped around the torch light are the various intents but the light remains the same illuminating them all..

 me: So what i understand is that human beings provide different ways of expression or creative manifestation... but the source of it is same
Master Akshara: Precisely !
