Is god biased?
You see people dying from hunger, disaster, water crises, and even from taking a breath. On the other hand, people waste food and live long lives. Some commit crimes and are still living free. Some wastewater, but we still have plenty of water to live on.
Does god favour one sort of people or harsh for others?
When someone close dies, it feels so mournful, knowing that death will be so painful and upsetting for close loved ones. Why did god create this inevitable death penalty for everyone? If you argue that whoever is born will die, then why did god start birth to people who never wished to be born?
“If God is just, why is life so unjust?” This question haunts countless minds. Look around, and the world itself seems to whisper contradictions—children dying from hunger while some waste meals daily, innocent lives lost in disasters while the corrupt thrive in comfort. The question is not whether God exists, but whether He is fair.
The Unequal Reality
Every day, we witness life’s brutal inequality. A newborn in a drought-stricken village gasps for breath, while another is born into air-conditioned luxury. One loses a loved one to a senseless accident, while another celebrates decades of good health and abundance. Some toil endlessly but remain trapped in poverty. Others inherit wealth they never worked for.
If God created us all, why this discrimination?
The Emotional Conflict
When tragedy strikes—especially personal loss—it’s natural to question the system we’re told to trust. Death, in particular, feels like the harshest betrayal. It’s not just an event; it’s a rupture. If God knew that death causes unbearable pain, why did He create a system where every birth guarantees a death? And if no one ever asked to be born, why were we all forced into this cycle?
Such questions do not arise from atheism but from deeply wounded, disillusioned belief. They represent the heart of someone who once trusted the divine system but now seeks justice within it.
The Gita’s Answer: Karma & Faal (Action & Fruit)
In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna provides a profound perspective. He declares that karma (action) governs the universe, not arbitrary divine preference. The fruits (faal) one receives—good or bad—are determined not just by this lifetime’s deeds but by an intricate, invisible ledger of past lives.
“Karmanye vadhikaraste, ma phaleshou kada chana.”
This verse reminds us: our right lies only in action, not in its result. We cannot choose outcomes; we can only choose how we act. What appears today as God’s injustice may be the unfolding of long-forgotten karmic seeds.
This concept, while hard to accept during suffering, offers an important insight: God may not be biased, but karma is brutally exact.
Why Some Suffer More?
It’s easy to judge only what we see. But karma is not confined to this birth. A criminal living freely today may face the consequences later, or in another life. Likewise, a child dying young may be completing the final chapter of a karmic journey. It’s unsettling because we want justice in human terms—immediate, visible, emotional. But karma, like time, moves in its rhythm.
Then Why Create This System at All?
This brings us to the deeper existential dilemma: if God knew this world would be filled with suffering, why create it?
The Gita suggests that the soul is eternal, unborn, and undying. Birth and death apply only to the physical form. Life is not a punishment or a gift; it’s a school—a space where the soul evolves, learns, and ultimately seeks liberation (moksha).
We didn’t ask to be born because the soul doesn’t ask—it acts, and its actions define its next course. This cycle of birth and death is not God’s curse; it’s nature’s design for growth.
So, Is God Biased?
From a limited human view, perhaps yes. But from a higher, karmic lens, God is less a judge and more a mirror—reflecting what we sow back onto us. Bias implies emotion, favouritism, and interference. The divine system, instead, is precise, indifferent to status or sentiment.
Injustice feels unbearable because we see only this life’s frame. But what if you saw the whole film?
Conclusion:
As per Hindu ‘granths’, we learned that god is self-bound with karma chakra, so is true for all humans.
The law of karma rewards action with unflinching neutrality.
The question, then, is not “Why me?” but “What can I learn, change, or do from here?”
Because in this game of karma, the only move that counts is yours.
Share it for GOD sake!
