Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 This is with ref to sajis predicament and the bad patch of time he is undergoing. In everybody's life such ups and down are common but what is required is the courage and confidence to face such situations and a deep faith in the deity one worships.Further as everyone is subject to the Karmic theory which can't be flouted by any means one has to suffer or enjoy according to his or her deeds of earlier births.But the ever mericiful Lord will always come to the succour depending on the surrender of the devotee and dilute the sufferings to a great extent.This is the experience of everso many people in all walks of life.So just by calling Krishna or other names the God won't come to the rescue unless our time is also good.But prayers can certainly mitigate to a certain extent the difficulties by giving moral strength to the sincere devotee to withstand the sufferings.So it is too much to expect God to come to our relief whenever we suffer.But the same is to be taken as a test and inculcate more faith in Him and slowly but surely the troubles will vanish one by one.It is like the illness one undergoes and only after taking medicines over a period of time the same vanishes.just like that the sufferings.Then only we will remeber God and in good times the ego will block the mind from dwelling on God by creating an illusory mind that whatever we hv achieved is due to our efforts.Such persons in times of distress call God and say He is not helping him from the troubles he is facing.So whether one undergoes good or bad time if the mind is constantly remembering Him without wavering and asserting ego complex by thinking that whatever he or she has achieved is due to the karmic effects and the Grace of God as both are the two sides of the same coin.If this is kept in one's mind there is absolute equanimity of mind and no need for crying when one is in difficulty or enjoying when one is in good time.So maintaining equanimity is absolutely essential and this can come only thru constant devotion to Him at all times.
