Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Dear BhAgavatas,

There is no contradiction in these two statements. 
This universe is His playground and all actions are 
His game. Einstein's statement is reflective of the 
fact that this game and its outcomes are not a random 
act - that is, it is not just a probabilistic situation 
that is not even under the control of the Supreme Soul.

Does God play - yes. Is the whole play just a random
choice of events - no.

By the way, in one of your other posts, you had refered
to the bhakti exhibited by Azhvars as bhakti cult. 
While cult can be considered appropriate through its
dictionary meaning, I would request you not to use it
here because of the common negative aspect associated
with that word. In Tamil, the phrase used is "bhakti
paravasam" - what a beautiful coinage to describe
the delight the azhvars showed in Him. AdiyEn is unable
to think of a single word in English that will bring
out all the meanings that the word paravasam brings
out.
