How many of us are mature enough to take life as it is and live happily, albeit our hardships and sufferings? Not many I suppose. When you face adversity, you tend to get more attached to God.You seek the help of God to overcome your miseries. It really helps. The feeling that God will never let us down, keeps us going. I believe that God gives more suffering to people whom he loves the most. That makes you His special child. This is one view point.
But, then sometimes you get the feeling, “Is there really a God?” If so, why is there so much suffering and pain in this World - Natural disasters, accidents, murders, crimes, etc? No one has control over the happenings of life. It seems to be already decided by someone. Is that someone, God? Each and everyone have to face the consequences of their doings. Is that so? I can hear many people say a big NO.
That is when Karma comes in. How good you had been in your previous birth, gets reflected in your current life. If everyone can just understand this fact of life, then am sure everyone will strive to be good human beings. No one can escape from the punishment for all his/her wrong doings. If not in this birth, surely in their next birth they have to face the consequences. This explains why some criminals live a comfortable and contended life – Karma of their last birth.
So, enjoy life to the fullest as it is. Nourish your mind with good thoughts. Think well about others. Try to influence people who are striding away from the right path. If not, stay away from them. At least, you will not be influenced by them. Love everyone and hate no one.
If you face problems today, solve them today. Don't scratch your head by thinking about previous birth or next birth...becoz you know only about TODAY.
ReplyDeleteAre you really able to solve all your problems? Somethings are beyond your control. Haven't there been times when you have wondered as to why you or ur loved ones have to go thru' so many misfortunes? NO? Then, you are born lucky, I guess - Karma :)
ReplyDeleteChithi, I wouldn't say God "gives" problems to those whom he loves. Man due to his innate evilness/folly gets trapped in various situations, (of course, the all powerful God can save him from the consequences) but He allows the trouble, so that man may learn to trust Him completely and be constantly reminded of God's majesty. And the multitude of sufferings in the world, does not mean absence of Him or His love for mankind.. Its like this, only when something bad happens do we take notice of all the goodness that is around us :)
ReplyDeleteAnd God is definitely not simple enough to be understood with our meagre human wisdom.. HE WORKS IN WAYS WE CANNOT SEE :) and I believe it !!
Nevertheless, a wonderful thought provoking blog, chithi ! :)
That was a wonderful comment Nithya. Loved that :)
ReplyDeleteGod blesses you with problems becoz only you can solve them :)
