Smt. Ramya asked: Please explain the devotion of Sati devi and Hanuman. Since the worldly bonds are given by God, why shall we eradicate them?
Swami replied:- When the devotee reaches God, the worldly bonds are broken. Sati devi reached and married God Shiva against the will of her parents. Similarly, Hanuman left His parents and waited in Kishkindha waiting to see God Rama. The attraction to God will always destroy the attraction to worldly bonds. The worldly bonds are selected by the soul only and are not given by God. If that is true, God must give worldly bonds to every soul. Why then has God not given worldly bonds to Prahlada, Hanuman, etc.? Hence, the soul is forming the worldly bonds and therefore, it is the responsibility of the soul only to break the worldly bonds. If the soul gets attracted to God, in course of time, the attraction to God will certainly destroy the attraction to worldly bonds and this is called Salvation.
