Suppose an elderly person travels in a train with his children; he has the tickets for all of them. And he tells them not to get down anywhere in the middle of the journey, but wait for him to get down. The children get attracted by the several eatables that are sold on the platform in some stations en route, and have a strong desire to get down and buy them. But they restrain themselves from getting down, as they may be in trouble if the train starts and they are left behind. Since the father didn't get off for long, they became impatient and tried to get off at some stations. The eldest of the children tells them, "As per father's command, we cannot get down as we like." God is the father of all. All are His children proceeding on the journey of life. God has told us, "Follow My command, do not get down anywhere you like." The pity is, no one follows His commands in the world. They behave according to their whims and fancies. Those who travel by train would have seen goods wagons bearing a painted mark like "Return 5-98." This indicates that the wagon should be returned to the workshop on the due date for attention. It is only the station master who knows this and takes action. In the case of humanity, God is the Master who knows when each one has to return. Only the Master has to worry about it. God is the supreme authority, and everything happens according to His will. - Divine Discourse, Apr 28, 1998
