Is God's creativity behind the major revolutions happening in this world?

[An online spiritual discussion was conducted on May 23, 2021, in which several devotees participated. Devotees’ questions answered by Swāmi are given below.]

[Śrī Bharath Krishna asked: Swāmiji, we observe numerous revolutionary changes happening in this world in present times. For example, usage of digital currency, internet, other technological inventions etc. Some of them are being used for the sole purpose of giving comfort to us, irrespective of whether it is actually a need. If I have enough money, today, I can just buy an aeroplane and there are no conditions or constraints on me to assess whether there is any genuine necessity. So many people write stories and movies are also made out of some of them. But none of them explain the existence and functioning of the divine constitution. Now, I wonder how all this creativity came to humans? Is God’s grace involved in every creative act happening in this world? If not, how can we differentiate if a particular change in the world happened due to God’s creativity or due to human creativity?]

Swāmi replied: The creativity is simply based on the will of God only. By the grace and will of God only, the human being is able to be successful in any creativity. Every successful human creativity is founded on the creativity of God only. God grants the talent of creativity only to help the humanity. The human being (at least some scientists recognise and become grateful to God) does not acknowledge the grace of God and becomes proud misunderstanding such talent as his own talent. Some human beings, aligned with such egoistic scientist, misuse the discovery to wrong side. God has granted this discovery with the view of positive side only and hence, the misuse is not to be connected to God in any way. In the end of your elaboration, you touched the psychology of present human beings, which in no way is related to God. There is no responsibility from the side of God regarding the foolish developments of psychology of certain people in the present time. Of course, there are many good people also, who use the discovery towards positive divine side only. The computer is very much serving God in the propagation of true Spiritual knowledge, which is the sole aim of God in granting this technology to humanity by God. There are some people, who misuse this technology for cybercrimes also!
