Guest guest Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 Dear Moon, If God is bestowing suffering, why don't we ask " Why does God give happiness? " . I didn't see anyone asking this question. Only when there is suffering we blame God. When happiness is around, everyone forgets to take the name of God. In Vasistha Gita (conversation between Sage Vasistha and Lord Rama), the great rishi answers this question. For happiness and suffering man has no one else to blame other than himself. Even our Swamiji (Vivekananda) tells this in his works. We reap what we sow, thought it may seem harsh statement. Without night we can't appreciate morning. In the same way without suffering we can't appreciate happiness. Both of them are the two faces of the same coin. If we accept happiness, we should be ready to accept pain. As swamiji tells, it is the law of nature. Few people realize this and want to be free from both the states and so their journey towards spirituality begins.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 SufferingIn this world, we are always consciously or unconsciously making mistakes. When we consciously make mistakes, we are quite aware of it. But unfortunately, we do not realize how many things we are doing wrong unconsciously. These unconscious mistakes manifest themselves in the physical world, and the results come to us as suffering. In the case of ordinary, unaspiring human beings, after tremendous suffering, sincerity dawns and the soul leads them to knowledge and wisdom. If people who repeatedly make mistakes have sincere aspiration and want to know why they are suffering, then the soul's Light comes to the fore and tells them. If we are spiritual people, consciously we will try not to do anything wrong, but unconsciously we do many things wrong. We can prevent unconscious mistakes only through our aspiration, prayer and meditation. If we aspire, then Baba's grace and compassion protect us.It is not necessary to go through suffering before we enter into the kingdom of delight. Many people have realized Baba through love. The Father has love for the child and the child has love for the Father. This love takes us to our goal. Baba's philosophy emphasizes the positive way of approaching Truth. We have very limited light. Let us increase it. Let us progress from more Light to abundant Light to infinite Light by the grace of our beloved Divine Mother SAIMA.Baba is every where just feel him and keep on saying `Om Sai Ram' to whom so ever you meet.Baba Said.... "Eating that lovely bread I am heartily contended and I am still belching. The dog which you saw before meals and to which you gave the piece of bread, is one with me, so also other creatures (cats, pigs, flies, crows etc.) are one with me. I am roaming in their forms".OM SAI SRI SAI JAI JAI SAI!!! Let us pray at the feet of Sai Baba who is the incarnation of all gods and protector of all, to show mercy on us, and increase our devotion towards him Jai sai Ram Swamy MahadevanBow to Shri Sai-Peace be to allBaba Bless you ever!!!
