Life-Heating and Cooling

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

 

· Disciple to Guru: I am religious & god fearing

person. Never do I even think of hurting anyone.

However in return what I am getting is nothing but

troubles and more troubles. My neighbour who is a not

only a drunkard & corrupt person never worships God

too. However he is richer than me and has no troubles

at all. Why is God so unjust? Why does God not take

care of his devotees?

 

 

· Guru to Disciple: Tell me which is of more use to

an Engineer – ordinary steel or hardened steel?

 

 

· Disciple to Guru: Hardened steel

 

 

· Guru to Disciple: How do you make hardened steel?

 

 

· Disciple to Guru: By repeated heating and cooling

of ordinary steel

 

 

· Guru to Disciple: Can you harden steel without

subjecting it to heating and cooling it?

 

 

· Disciple to Guru: No not possible at all

 

 

· Guru to Disciple: So also in case of human beings.

God subjects us to trials and tribulations with a view

that we will become strong. We can grow only by

becoming stronger. The troubles and sorrows that you

experience is like “heat” & “cooling” the steel is

subject too. A hardened person will always have more

capacity and strength to face life as compared to a

“weaker” person who does not experience troubles.

Hence God is more just to you as he is forcing you to

acquire the strength for your growth only. Your

neighbour has been having an easy life all along and

he certainly cannot withstand but will collapse even

when a small misfortune strikes him (as it will).

Whereas you will have the courage and strength to bear

even the mightiest Tsunami.
