Dear Bhagavathaas, AdiyEn's two cents on the ongoing discussions on the NY tragedy and observations like"God can only love, he ought to love in terms of preventing diasters too....etc". Trying to understand God based on a few vAkyam from Sri Bhagavad Geetha or selective reading of Shruthis/PramAnas is very very difficult, and more importantly trying to apply that understanding to justify events is even more difficult, especially when acts of Anaathi Karma of ours, leave alone others, is unknown to us, but known to the supreme. Also we are living in Leela Viboothi, where Bhagavan's Leela(especially natural diasters like floods, drought, earthquakes, volcanos, epidemic) is not so easy to be fathomed(that reminds AdiyEn, often we do not notice the things that make us happy, which also happen only by Bhagavad Sankalpam/KatAksham). So as several Bhagavathaas pleaded, we can pray the Divya Dhampathis for global welfare, in times like this("LOkA Samastha SukinO BhavanthU"). For those who really want to understand God, our relationship to him/other entities and how to reach him, the easy recourse is to seek-understand-follow a Sri Vaishnava Acharya and undergo Pancha Samskaaram, learn at his feet the great works(Rahasya, KAlakshEpa) like Sri Bhashya, Sri VEdartha Sangraham, Srimad Rahasya Traya Saaram, Chillarai Rahasyam etc and develop our understanding and this would lead us to happiness on earth and eternal happiness, by our act of SaranAgathi(Prapathi or Bhaara Nyaasam).

Respected Bhaktas, It is my opinion that if God can only love, he ought to love in terms of preventing disasters too. Since God cannot tolerate any kind of aggression towards his Bhaktas(paritraanaaya saadhoonaam....)and .........
