I asked the saint, next time I met him
"Why is pain inflicted on us, so much that at times we think of just giving up everything and more so this pain we could have had avoided, had we taken the other path."
The saint said, "I understand what are you pointing at", Continuing he said, "Child, tell me Has not the pain left you stronger, Next time when you face such a situation, Wont you be in a much better situation to deal with it?"
I said, "But I am not talking about next time, why is it that I am brought upon such pain in Ist case. And despite suffering immense pain, I end up on the losing side."
The saint replied, "Austerity, do you know what it is, did you suffer enough pain to call it austerity (तपस्या)? Listen son, you have started rating yourself again (read http://upvanm.blogspot.in/2012/02/more-insights-on-lyfe.html), So to make it clear, I will talk in your language, Mind it its all relative, Even for God it is so, the more pain one suffers the better he is placed for the end result, Your hard work / suffering of pain does not go unnoticed. And you think giving up will solve everything, (earnestly he further said) This will inflict pain on your all wellwishers. Mind it !!!"
What could I further say, I just thought, Am I relatively rated by God also, First relative grading and now I get to know God is also rating us relative to each other.
