Soap Opera

by Aparna Chatterjee



Do the Devil And God switch Roles in becoming The writer, creator Director of our roles? If not, What pleasure Does God get In making us Enact the roles Of a Rapist, Murderer, Paedophile In this life’s Soap Opera? Is HE a sadist Relishing the agony Of helpless victims Or for such roles Does Devil the Writer-Creator-Director Remain the all-powerful Producer of such a Hedonistic, Voyeuristic Masochistic Thriller?

Comments on this Poem

"Jaisee Drishti Vaisee Shristee"

Woh Drishti Bhi, Bhagwaan Ki Dee Huyi Hai, Ya Haevaan Ki ?!

Ya Achha Soche, Achha Dekhe, Toh Bhagwan Ne Diya,

Gar Bura Soche, Bura Dekhe, Toh Haevaan Ne Diya ....

Ya Achha Bura Jo Bhi Soche, Jo Bhi Dekhe, Sab Bhagwaan Ne Diya, as HE is the Ultimate GIVER, the Karta-Dharta, of this life on Earth.

Some thoughts that keep floating in my mind, seeing all the suffering in the world, thinking whether God is cruel or kind.

Dear Roy and RD, thanks for sharing your perspectives.

If all that is, comes under the jurisdiction of One almighty, then only can one comprehend the concept of Leela or the divine play. To an "individual" thus, "God" manifests as one perceives. Jaisee Drishti Vaisee Shristee.

It makes for a dazzling poem to identify the roles of God and the devil. But if God is Infinite Goodness, how can God do evil? If, for argument's sake, God is not Infinite Goodness, then God is not God.
