45. AN INCARNATION - A SOURCE OF IMMENSE BENEFIT

            74. We should now proceed to explain the necessity and object of incarnation. We have already said that in a creation evolved by an Omniscient Creator, nothing is haphazard or accidental, and that beneficent laws govern all the conditions of creation and those of the denizens thereof. The apparent hardships and miseries, though they are painful and, at times, heart-rending and most tyrannical in the aspects they present, must nevertheless result in, some eventual benefit, as they represent only some of the laws framed by the all-knowing and all-wise Supreme Creator. The conception of a perpetual doom of misery is an obvious contradiction, if it is assumed that the origin or source of creation is all-knowing and all-wise. Accordingly, if benefit is intended even in conditions which appear to be contrary to the all-blissful essence of the Supreme Being, what immense benefit must be in view when the advent of an incarnation is ordained!
