Why this Divine Tragedy & Comedy ?

To human beings, a divine tragedy ( sarvam dukham, sarvam kshanikam, sarvam shoonyam – Buddha ) and to the Lord , a Divine Comedy ( Dante ). Longfellow composed Divine Tragedy.

Buddha criticised the Lord !

How could it be that Brahm,
Could create  a world so miserable,
And if all powerful, leave it so !
He  is not good, and if not all powerful,
He is not God !
Milton was an utter failure in his mission

That I may assert Eternal Providence,
And justify the ways of God to  Man !

Milton had great anger against God. He was born blind and he suffered horribly. HIs anger against God made him project Satan as a hero and He, as a villain. His famous quote is

It is better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven !

At best, you can be a waiter in Heaven if you obey him. If you oppose HIm, you can be King or Emperor ! Kamsa and Ravana were KIngs and they got Moksha first !

Ravana was not a fool. He did not touch Sita. He was a Brahma Jnani and Tapaswi . He knew that if you oppose HIm, you can be an emperor. So he opposed Him and death at the Hands of All Becomings and That which exceeds a,ll  Becomings is Self Actualisation, Brahma Sayiujya or Moksha !

Satan spoke thus 

Eternity so spent in worship paid,
To whom we hate.

Millions of followers followed Satan. Lucifer, Beelzebub, Mammon were some of the great Generals pitted against the Almighty !

Declaring war against God, he warned,

We may with more successful faith resolve,
To wage by force or guile eternal war,
Irreconcilable to our Grand Foe,
Who now triumphs and in excess of joy,
Sole reigning holds the tyranny of Heaven !

You will find crooks thriving and good people suffering in this world. Morality becomes irrelevant.

The bat, hanging down, views this topsy turvy world !

Said Shaw,

This earth of ours
Is where fools flourish
where good are persecuted
where men and women torment each other,
In the name of love

where children are enslaved 
In the name of  parental duty

where the weak in body are poisoned and mutilated
in the name of medical healing

where the weak in character are imprisoned
in the name of Justice

It is clear to me that this world is Hell,
And as the Indian revealed to me
( he was sent there to reveal to me )

that we are HERE to expiate for
Crimes committed  by us in a former exjstence !
