Jai Laddu Gopalji Ki,
I recite these words and I find my whole personality, thinking and body language gets a pleasant change.
Between Lord Rama and Lord Krishna I love Lord Krishna. Lord Rama is Adarsh Maryadapurushottam.You cannot take any liberty with him. I feel like touching his feet with utmost respect. But with Govinda you feel like playing, dancing, sitting on a swing, decorating him and hugging him like a friend (sakha bhav se).I always keep in my mind the picture of baby Kanuda dancing on the head of snake Kobra (Kalimardana).
It is a great picture indeed to be always kept in mind. All the illnesses and calamities should be taken with that spirit. One has to learn to dance smilingly and confidently on the head of calamities.
I recall an old story. A man was able to see two sets of footprints one of God and one of him in the times of good fortunes but during calamities there was only one set of footprints. He became angry and shouted at God for being deserting him during bad times. But the God so great and kind replied that my son, during bad times I carried you actually on my shoulders, and that is why you are finding only one set of footprints ( I do not have the exact story in my collection. If you have kindly forward it ).
God has always been very kind and merciful. It is only we small, poor creatures who misread Him.
I think all these illnesses and for that matter, all the problems and calamities should be taken as a challenge and not as punishments, as a privilege and not as a penalty.
The Term Paper on Lord Your God People Kill Men
Murder in the Bible The act of murder is rampant in the Bible. In much of the Bible, especially the Old Testament, there are laws that command that people be killed for absurd reasons such as working on the Sabbath, being gay, cursing your parents, or not being a virgin on your wedding night. In addition to these crazy and immoral laws, there are plenty of examples of God's irrationality by his ...
We always say we have been leading such a gentle, noble and pious life, then why does it always happen to me. I think there is no answer to it because question itself is totally wrong in its first place. It can happen to anybody. It has happened to almost all the Gods and so called noble persons. It is not important and totally immaterial why does it always happen to me. More important is how I come out of it.
Problems are like putting a cloth in the washing machine. It knocks us, twists us,squeeses us, but ultimately we come out of it as a better person.
Seedha rasta sav game nahi,
Khada do char khodun chhoo.
If it were not because of rocks in its bed, streams would have no songs.
How can we imagine a life without problems?
There are a number of things and events which we judge as wrong, cruel and painful for us and others. How can others treat us in such a horrible way? We have to learn to view all these from a totally different perspective. The other man has acted according to his nature, his upbringing, his way of doing things or according to a particular situation of his life, on which we do not have any control. We have to respond according to our nature, our way of doing things, our tradition and our religion. When we talk about duty we should always mean only our duty. It should be totally unconditional. There are no such things as positive or negative feelings.We make them positive or negative by our acceptance or rejection of them. To me all the feelings are a part of wonderful ever changing sensation of being alive. If we love all the different feelings, they become so many rainbow colors of life.
We witnessed a massive earthquake in 2001 in Gujrat. We did not come out of our homes, breaking temples and mosques and shouting at God for being so cruel and unmerciful. If all these earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis are totally normal, natural and God made, so are these illnesses, problems and the so called scoundrels.
Everything that happens to us is a lesson we should be grateful for. Everyone who comes into our life is a teacher regardless of how much we choose to hate or blame him.
Following verses give me a lot of comfort.
Shyamal tara charan kamal ma saghanu thethoo soonpee,

Whoon to tari ha Girdhari, janam janam ki gopi.
Sath rahta whon tarai sada mai arai, too nahi dhekh pai to mai kya karoon,
Murkh mrag tulya charoo dishao mai too, dhudhnai mujh ko jayai to mai kaya karoo.
Veena bajai prem ki jab tab natch uthai bhaghwan yahin,
Chhoot jaya sab kutch par chootai rasna se hari naam nahin.
