81. Is God your Plan B?
A small story: When Queen Draupadi was being disrobed in public in the court of the Kauravas, she started crying out to Lord Krishna for help. Again and again, she cried out. 'Krishna, help me! Krishna, help me!' But at the same time, she was clutching at hear saree (robes) with both hands. Finally, when she saw that she was on the verge of being totally undressed, she just throw up both her hands and called out, 'Krishna, help me!' This time, her prayer was answered instantaneously. Her saree reappeared miraculously and she was saved.
Later, Draupadi complained to Krishna, 'My Lord, why did you take so long to come and save me? Did you not see that I was alone and helpless?' Krishna replied, 'Draupadi, you were calling me, but at the same time you were trying to protect yourself. Till the very end, you thought that you could manage by yourself. But at the end, when I saw you totally open, I had to come. I had to appear and take care of you!'
This is what we all do in our life. We say that we have faith, but actually Existence or God is only our Plan B! God or the universal intelligence is our last resort. Total surrender is equal to enlightenment! Total surrender means simply dropping the lower intellect, the fighting logic, and allowing the higher intelligence to take over: But until you are fed up with your own logic your own cunningness and planning you will not be able to surrender.
