There are many different qualities present within us. It is for us to make good use of these qualities. You may ask, “Why does not God change our nature?” No, God does not at all interfere; He is a witness of everything. It is not for God to tell you what is good and what is bad. Your own thoughts and feelings tell you what is good and what is bad. When you eat a cucumber, you will get the belch of a cucumber. Hence, what is there in you will be reflected outside. Whatever bad you see in others, it is nothing but the reflection of your own thoughts.
Do not keep deliberating upon whether something is good for you or not. Everything is good. Whatever happens, consider that it is good for you. When you develop such an attitude, everything will turn out to be good for you. - taken from Swami's Sri Ramanavami Discourse in 2006... Sai Ram
