Sorry, God’s Not Managing Your Life: There is no Divine Will

Stop outsourcing your karma to Divine HR. The system runs itself — you’re the one pressing the buttons.

“Divine Will”? Nice Excuse. Now, Let’s Talk Reality.


Let’s start with a dangerous statement: there is no such thing as Divine Will acting on you. Yeah, I said it. The universe didn’t trip you up because “God willed it.” You tripped because you weren’t looking. That’s Karma, not Krishna pulling pranks.


We humans love a good scapegoat. “It’s all in God’s hands,” we say—usually right after making a mess of our own. Convenient, isn’t it? “Bhagwan ki Iccha” (God's Wish) becomes our cosmic customer-support line for every bad decision and delayed consequence.


But here’s the kicker: the Divine doesn’t will anything for you. The Divine doesn’t have a to-do list with your name on it. The Divine doesn’t play chess with your fate. The system—Karma, Rebirth, Prakriti—is already running perfectly fine. You’re not being micromanaged by a celestial boss.



The Universe Isn’t a Helpline


The Divine built a fully autonomous universe, a cosmic auto-pilot. Every thought, word, and action you put out loops back in time. That’s it. That’s the system.


No one’s sitting up there deciding whether your startup will get funded or your crush will text back. You reap what you sow—not because God’s petty, but because the system’s airtight.


This system is called Karma. It’s not reward and punishment—it’s feedback. You press a button; you get a result. No one’s judging you. The universe doesn’t care whether you’re meditating or binge-watching conspiracy theories. It just reflects your vibration.


So when something “bad” happens, stop saying, “Why would God do this to me?” The Divine didn’t. You did. And the good news is—you can undo it. The system is that fair.

Shiva and Shakti aren't steering your boat into Tsunami Oceans. You are!


God Isn’t Playing You — You’re Just Playing Yourself


Let’s clear another popular misconception: God didn’t create this existence to fool you, test you, or play games with you. Shiva and Shakti aren’t sitting somewhere giggling while watching you chase money, love, or enlightenment like a confused contestant on some cosmic reality show.


The Divine doesn’t need entertainment. Existence isn’t a game being played on you — it’s a creation happening through you. You’re not the toy; you’re part of the play itself. A co-creator, not a prop.

But here’s where things get messy: somewhere along the way, consciousness decided to try out individuality. You went from being an instrument of the cosmic orchestra to thinking you’re the lead singer. That’s when the personal drama begins — “my success,” “my suffering,” “my truth.”


It’s adorable, really. You start believing your little script is the entire movie, forgetting that you helped write the screenplay of existence itself. The Divine didn’t throw you into the world to mess with you. You just got too caught up in your own subplot.


So no, Shiva and Shakti aren’t using you as their playthings. They are the very energy moving through you, patiently waiting for you to stop pretending you’re separate. The moment you remember that, the game stops being a struggle and turns into dance again.



The Divine Has No “Will” Because It’s Beyond Desire


Let’s get this straight: Will means wanting something. Desire implies lack. The Divine lacks nothing. Therefore, the Divine desires nothing.


Simple math.


The Divine isn’t sitting there thinking, “Let’s make Ramesh lose his job today, he’s overdue for a life lesson.” No, Ramesh just made a series of choices that led there. The Divine simply holds space for all of it—the joy, the stupidity, the drama.


The Divine is the ultimate observer: no agenda, no judgment, no control. Think of it like the sky—it doesn’t care what kind of clouds pass through.


So when you say “I surrender to Divine Will,” you’re actually surrendering to… nothing. The Divine doesn’t have a will to impose. What you’re really saying—if you’re sincere—is, “I accept full responsibility for my inner weather.”


Now that is surrender.



Surrender Isn’t Laziness. It’s Grown-Up Spirituality.


Let’s talk about “surrender.” Most people use that word like a spiritual sedative. “Oh, I’ve surrendered everything to God,” they say, while secretly hoping the Divine will fix their taxes, marriage, and digestion.


Real surrender isn’t resignation—it’s radical ownership. It’s standing naked in front of reality and saying, “Everything that’s happening in my life is a reflection of my thoughts, choices, and past karma.”


You can’t outsource responsibility and call it devotion. That’s not spirituality; that’s emotional freeloading.


When you actually surrender, you stop blaming. You stop bargaining with the Divine like a bad lawyer: “Okay God, I’ll chant your name if you fix my life.” You accept that your world is your creation, every bit of it.


That’s the real Samarpan: not dropping everything at God’s feet, but dropping your excuses.



Shiva and Shakti
Shiva and Shakti aren't serving you extra punishment platters; through your Karma you are.


Karma, Bhoga, and the Cosmic Feedback Loop


Here’s how the system works: you act (Karma), you experience the result (Bhoga), you learn, you evolve, and maybe—just maybe—you get out (Moksha).


There are no exceptions. Not even for “the chosen ones.” Every saint, sinner, and social-media guru is bound by the same physics of consciousness.


Karma isn’t about morality—it’s about mechanics. Drop a stone; it falls. Plant bitterness; it grows. Say something cruel; you feel its echo. The universe is like the world’s most honest mirror—it never lies.


So instead of saying “Why me?”, start asking “What in me?” What thought pattern, emotion, or ignorance created this? That’s how seekers grow. That’s how you evolve from Bhoga (experience) to Moksha (freedom).



The Divine Isn’t Your Manager. It’s the Ground You Stand On.


Picture this: You’re standing in the ocean, shouting at the waves to calm down. The ocean doesn’t obey—it just keeps moving. Eventually, you realize it’s not about controlling the waves, it’s about learning to float.


That’s the Divine—ever-present, unbothered, silent. It doesn’t get offended. It doesn’t grant favors. It’s simply the background in which all things happen.


The Divine doesn’t need to “will” anything because the system already expresses its perfection. Prakriti is that system. It’s Divine Intelligence on autopilot. You just keep colliding with it until you learn to move with it.


When you stop fighting and start floating, that’s surrender. Not “Divine Will”—just Divine Stillness.



Shiva and Shakti
Shiva and Shakti aren't managing the boardroom of your life; you are.


Bhoga for Learning, Moksha for Graduation


Every life, every birth, every heartbreak—it’s all Bhoga. Experience. You signed up for it the moment you took form. You came here to burn through your tendencies, learn what works and what doesn’t.


But somewhere along the way, you got attached to the play. You forgot it’s a classroom, not a vacation resort.


Moksha isn’t a divine reward; it’s graduation. It’s when you’ve learned enough from experience that you no longer need to keep signing up for remedial suffering. You’ve outgrown your own drama.


And that doesn’t happen through prayers for divine intervention. It happens through Sadhana (practice), Tapasya (discipline), and brutal honesty with yourself.


You don’t get enlightenment by outsourcing your life to “Divine Will.” You get there by taking total responsibility for everything that unfolds in your consciousness.



Shiva and Shakti
Shiva and Shakti did not make you sick or shot dead your loved ones. It's Karma, Birth and Rebirth Cycle you signed up for.


You Want “God’s Will”? Dissolve the “You.”


Here’s the paradox: the moment you actually reach Enlightenment, the moment you truly merge with the Divine, then you can say everything is “God’s Will.” Because at that point, there’s no “you” left to resist it.


Before that, it’s premature. Like a trainee claiming to be the CEO.


Until you attain Samadhi, your “surrender” should mean accountability. Once you transcend ego, it becomes alignment. When the ego dissolves completely, there’s no personal will left—only the flow of existence itself. That’s what saints mean when they say, “Thy Will Be Done.”


Until then, don’t kid yourself. The Divine isn’t steering your car. You are. The road, the rules, and the map—those are Divine. The driving? That’s all you.



The Hard Truth (and the Liberating One)


The Divine doesn’t test you, favor you, or punish you. The Divine hosts you. You’re living in its infinite space, learning through cause and effect. That’s the deal.


So stop praying for “Divine Will” to save you. Pray for clarity to see your own patterns. Pray for strength to act rightly. Pray for awareness to end the loops you keep creating.


That’s the grown-up version of spirituality: brutal responsibility wrapped in cosmic humor.


You’re not a puppet of some heavenly bureaucrat. You’re a fragment of the infinite, playing in the sandbox of Karma. Every grain of sand obeys the same law.



Shiva and Shakti
Shiva and Shakti can't do anything to you, because you are Shiva and Shakti. Meditate and Realise.


In the End, Silence Wins


At the end of this journey, when the “you” that wants, prays, and complains dissolves, there’s only silence. That’s the Divine.


No will. No plan. No agenda. Just pure presence—still, luminous, eternal.


And in that silence, you finally see: there was never anyone else pulling the strings. It was all you, all along—until there was no “you” left to pull.


Blessings,

Jai Shivay,

~ Prakriti
