Reminiscences

God with no identifiable attributes Presides over the world in the form of a Governing authority.

Brajmohan Dixit, a writer of film scripts, was a deep student of Tulsiramayana. He said to ShriMaharaj, 'Saints say, the true being of God is devoid of any charac­teristics; it operates in this world in the form of a govern­ing authority. In what way ?' ShriMaharaj said, 'Suppose you write a story. When a director likes it, he selects the cast and has them memorize the dialogues. Later they appear on the screen. If a film is good, a good seventy per cent of the credit for its excellence goes to the director. But he himself never appears on the screen. The work put in by him is not apparently visible but its effects can be experienced. In a similar way, God with no identifi-able attributes acts in this world in the form of a govern­ing authority.’
