12 : HUMAN KINDNESS IS ONLY A REFLECTION OF GOD'S KINDNESS

A rational human being usually tends to be kind to his fellow beings. Love between couples, friendship between mates and parental affection are simply part of that tendency. These good relations among the social beings are valuable source of mental peace that is badly needed in this disturbing world. Though you can play a part in building this peace through your kind action or reaction, you cannot be a sole architect of peace much of which is outside your control. For example, most people begin their married life with a dream of lasting partnership but for some unlucky couples, divorce turns this daydream into nightmare. In this way, cruelty (committed through murder, torture etc.) to those who once were dear ones like parents, children, siblings, friends etc. shows the impacts of negative kindness or punishment of God.

All these examples indicate that human kindness leading to good social relations and peace is not regularly available even though we eagerly long for that. In fact, human kindness is a divine blessing as regulated by God and it is available so long He does not want to remove it. When He wants to displace it, then it is gone and it is only then people can become most cruel to their dearest ones. Thus, human kindness is like a reflection or shadow of the divine kindness. In other words, you enjoy kindness of your fellow beings as long as shadow of God's kindness or His blessing is on and you are deprived of it when this shadow is gone. Now the question is: how can human kindness take effect from God? The answer lies in His power to influence the mind, decision and action of the living beings. He will bless you with this power if your good actions weigh heavy.
