Why did God create the universe? What is the basic purpose behind this?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Let us give God some space and let me ask you, who created cricket and what is the purpose of cricket? Why do people throw the ball and other people hit it back?
(Ans: For entertainment.)
For Entertainment! God did the same thing with this universe.
God has created this for his own entertainment. You are the player. Either you hit a six and get everyone’s applause or you get bowled out in the very first ball and go and sit in the corner. Got it?
