The Calling

Last Saturday, a woman called at my door, claiming to be out on His work. She began by asking if I ever wondered why every other day, some people have to die. Before I could offer, she continued that it is because Jesus has returned and it is a holy retribution for all our misdeeds.

Although the Bhagwad Gita says (9:23), "Even those who are devotees of other Gods, worship them with faith, they also sacrifice to Me alone, O son of Kunti, though not according to the true law", the various paths etched out for us to reach Him do not cross. Why is it that the same Authority keeps his subjects divided on matters as trivial as to how to invoke His name?

Has Jesus returned to punish us for believing that our individual paths are correct or will He, this time, offer us a common ground?
