Hare Krishna,
Many times, we have experienced untold suffering or seen some of our most near and dear ones who were very pious , pure and highly value based but who suffered bodily by affliction of dreaded ailment and then left for heavenly abode. The question. I used to ask our most beloved Lord Sri Krishna is " WHY DEAR GOD , WHY DO GOOD PEOPLE SUFFER ALL THE TIME, WHY DO THEY GO THROUGH SO MUCH PAIN?" THE ANSWER I GOT IS IN ORDER TO CUT ALL OUR KARMA PAST AND PRESENT WE NEED OUR BODY AND SOUL TO BE THOROUGHLY CLEANSED TO REACH OUR MOST BELOVED SRI KRISHNA WHERE OUR SCRIPTURES ARE CLEAR THAT ALL THE DEBITS AND CREDITS HAVE TO BE TOTALLY NULLIFIED, THAT IS THE WORLDLY BOOK HAS TO BE CLOSED AND FULLY TALLIED, NOTHING LEFT AT ALL. ALSO I USED TO PONDER " DO ONLY SINNERS SUFFER THE MOST FOR MANY TIMES WE FAIL TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS RIGHT AND WRONG DESPITE OUR BEST INTENTIONS, WHAT WE THINK IS RIGHT IS IT REALLY SO.....IF NOT WHICH PATH TO TAKE?" ARE OUR SUFFERING BECAUSE WE ARE SINNERS? IF WE TRY OUR LEVEL BEST TO BE GOOD HUMAN BEINGS AND YET SUFFER PLEASE DO NOT WORRY AT ALL FOR OUR SUFFERING IS JUST A CARRY FORWARD OF OUR PREVIOUS BIRTH WHICH IN THIS BIRTH WE NEED TO REDEEM. HERE TOO COULD HEAR THE VOICE OF LORD SRI KRISHNA, WE ARE THE PRODUCT OF MANY LIVES AND NONE OF US KNOW THE TYPE OF LIVES WE HAVE LED DURING THESE NUMEROUS BIRTHS. As we all are aware, our soul is never subject to birth or death , it is a mere changeover , so even during the last second of our life our thoughts , enlightenment and surrender is also recorded in the books of our dearest Lord Sri Krishna and while he is tallying all our sum total of debits and credits surely there could be lots of backlog, we need to complete the pending unfinished work in our next birth and hence our suffering could be a result of the past karmas in our earlier birth which we need to repay during this birth, all the current negative elements of our life could be those who would have encountered us in one of our previous births where we would have misbehaved or tormented them and today it is boomeranging on us for whatever we give , it comes back to us in manifold. So let us take our suffering with a smiling countenance and surrender whole heartedly unto the lotus feet of our most beloved Lord Sri Krishna , only he can save us none else, only he can redeem us of our past and present karma and lead us to his place of residence that is Parmapadam where is known as Baravasudeva and his most divine consort is our most beloved mother Lakshmi amma. Let us pray for the entire cosmos, every of its inhabitants, let us love our suffering for it will take us one step closer to our lord and above all let us totally let go of all our loved ones in pain to pave a path for their heavenly abode , let not our affections for them enslave them despite their immense pain for none of us would like our near and dear ones to be with us despite their unbearable suffering for loving is giving , caring is let going , let us all resolve now that let us spend our time serving our lord and not bother of our good or bad actions for that would be taken care by our creator Lord Sri Krishna.We need to merely do our karma and leave the rest to Lord Sri Krishna,let us not aspire to be a perfect saint with the very best virtues but in our imperfectness let us be content for from our lowest height we can gauge and love the highest pedestal in which our lord is seated and from here let us bow down to him with folded hands for from the lowest of low heights we can truly appreciate the glory of our lord Sri Krishna. Our dearest lord has in the past taken with him the very pure souls who were very humble and not well versed in any scriptures but their love for our dearest Lord Sri Krishna super ceded every other consideration.
Let us fight all our pains with stoic courage for surely our dearest lord is with us even during our most unbearable pain, in our darkest hours with an assertion that please let each one of us bear our suffering for our bad karmas are only diminishing and who amongst us would not like to reach our lord Sri Krishna at the very earliest to serve him eternally in his abode which would be filled with his overflowing compassion, a happiness that would be beyond human comprehension and at last find the eternal peace in serving him and his most beloved divine consort and our dearest mother Lakshmi amma.
HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE HARE RAAMA HARE RAAMA RAAMA RAAMA HARE HARE.
