Man Proposes God disposes
The work is in your hand and the fruit is in the hand of God
You must do your duties without attaching yourself to the fruits. If you attach your mind to the fruit, you will be either excited or depressed. If the fruit is achieved, you are excited and if the fruit is not achieved, you are depressed. Both excitement and depression are the ways of fast expenditure of your reserved energy. If the energy is lost, you become weak and you will be unable to do your further duties. The work is in your hand and the fruit is in the hand of God. You think that the work must give you the fruit in destined way. Several times you are not getting the fruit for your work. What is the message in this? The message from God is that all the fruits are in His hand. You are not giving importance to God and you are depending on the work only and you believe that the natural system must yield the corresponding fruits of the works. If the natural system is allowed to be proved, God will be forgotten.

There is no doubt in the mechanized natural system that links the works with the corresponding fruits. But, you have forgotten that this natural system is created and established by God only. This natural system is functioning by the will of God only. Therefore, often this natural system is violated by God, so that you will recognize the ultimate as God but not the natural system. This point is the basis for the statement that man proposes and God disposes. God is not egoistic to establish His importance over the natural system. The effort of God is only to uplift the man by leading him towards His feet. His love and affection on every human being is the love and affection of a father. This type of love is justified because God is the creator of all the human beings along with the world. In the life of any human being, the success is always based on the unexpected and unimaginable side only.

Most of his efforts fail and success becomes unseen. The human being cries that the injustice is winning, but does not realize that the defeat is due to his faith on the natural system and on his ego of work. He does not realize that God is trying to preach him about this truth. However, this does not mean that you should stop the work and depend on God becoming inactive and lazy.
