Is Lord responsible for feeding all living beings in this world?

[Please protect the job of my son. Is it not the responsibility of the Lord to feed all the living beings in this world?]

Swami replied:- Had your statement been correct, there would not have been death due to hunger in this world. This means there is no such responsibility for the Lord. This is explained in the Gita (Na Kartritvam). Every living being attains everything including food according to its own deeds. Therefore one should not aspire for any fruit from the Lord and thus one should always be selfless. The Lord protects only such human beings who are selfless and who serve the Lord. The Lord protects them by transferring all their sins to Him. First of all, you should cut your blind bond (Moha) with your son. He was your enemy in the previous birth. You grabbed his property. He is now born as your son to collect his money with interest (Runanubandha Roopena). In the previous birth you prayed to the Lord to punish the same fellow. The Lord neither punished him in the previous birth and nor will He protect him in this birth. Your son’s punishment and protection follow him as per the fruits of his own deeds. All the living beings are dear to the Lord in all the births. For you, one soul becomes dear in this birth and the same soul becomes an enemy in another birth. And you are recommending him to Me! Suppose a guest comes to your house and recommends your son to you, how would you feel? The Lord punishes anybody only to bring realization in that soul. Did you not punish your son in his childhood? Did I interfere in your punishment then? I have more responsibility than you. The Guru is greater than even the parents. If you recommend anybody to the Lord, you are insulting the Lord. It shows as if you are more concerned about him than Me. Therefore you should just think about yourself and leave him to Me.
