Everytime when we face lot of obstacles, hurdles and sorrows in life, we request the God over and over again to change our part in this drama wheel as we reach a saturation point where we are fed up of our part (life). Many people these days do not have the patience and courage to go through the consistent sorrows we get for several years in life. We have to build a very strong mind in order to develop the patience and positive thinking in every situation. A mother always writes the very best life for her kids that is full of happiness, love, luck, success, etc. Similarly, God is our parent and God will also write the best luck for all his children. God will write a perfect life for everyone of us. But God tells that this is not in his hands, this is in your hands because you write your own luck with your own karma (deeds).So he instructs his children to do their part very good and thoroughly in this drama.

For God, all of his children are equal. God gives us all equal amounts of love just like how for a mother, all of her children are equal and she loves them equally. Whatever we sow, so shall we reep in life. When we work hard in life we get all our dreams fulfilled and God gives us all we wish. Some people wish for cars, bungalows,etc. God gives us knowledge, power, strength, love and applying all these we can achieve whatever we wish in our life (For example, big cars, big houses,etc). God cannot interfere in anyone's karma account or the account of the deeds and therefore it is not easy for God to witness all the chaos happening in this world (example currently corona, chaos in the past also).

Story: God bestows a human being one time when he challenges God that how he can see all the sorrows of people and still keeps calm and God does not do anything. To his reply, God asks him to be God for one day and be idol inside the temple and see for himself. Then he accepts the challenge of God and becomes the idol in the temple and that day one rich man comes and offers prayers to him and says "You have always made my life happy and rich and I pray that you keep me rich always" and then he donates some money in offering to God and by mistake his wallet drops down which he does not know and he leaves the temple. Later a poor person walks in the temple and tells God that he has not given him anything and at least give something to take care of food,etc and when he takes the prayer aarti, he bends down and becomes happy to see the wallet. He becomes excited and tells "God has given me this" and he leaves. Later, a fisherman comes and he prays and tells the God that "Oh God, every time I travel , you protect me always and I pray that even now and in future, please be my protector and savior" He leaves and when he leaves, immediately the rich man comes in front of him and he asks the fisherman whether he saw his wallet and he replies he does not know about it. The rich man thinks that the motive of this fisherman is not good and he calls the police for him.

The person who became idol and sat inside the temple cannot see all this silently and he tells " The poor man took your wallet" . Then he tells God "how can you be silent when all this is happening in front of you inside the temple and not clear it out even though you know the truth?" Then God replies " You spoiled everything. By giving the wallet to the poor person, his stomach would have been filled and the rich man will not lose much (the wallet is small part of his big treasure) and the rich man will get increase of his good deeds in his account. The fisherman will be saved from the storm for one day because he was traveling on the day when it is storm all day and if the fisherman goes to the prison for one day , then he would have been protected from the big storm coming. But you ruined everything".

True Story:

One brother worked in a very big company. Because of his hard work, he was about to get a big award. The award function was to be held in London and he was very happy. The day before his award function , when he was shopping , a very bad accident happens and the doctor tells him for complete bed rest for the 6 months. He tells bad things to God and says "Why did you show me this happiness if you do not want to give that to me?" His complete trust on God breaks. The day when he was supposed to get the award, he goes into deep depression and he does not talk to anyone, behaves strangely,etc. The next day suddenly there are lot of positive changes in his health situation and he reads that day in the newspaper that the flight he was supposed to take had a bad accident and all the passengers died. So he thinks that he can take another flight in future and whatever happened is good.

In this world -drama wheel, there is no salvation (moksha) to any human being. The next life depends only on the karma and your moral values. If we do good deeds, we have to be born again to take the fruits of our good deeds and if we do bad deeds, then we have to be born again in next life to take our punishment. But we have to be born again and again in this cycle. We can never get rid of this cycle. The hindi word "Swastik" means "Every thing/work is auspicious" .
