" God does not cause pain to any living being in His creation. All sorrows and
difficulties are man-made only. God is the protector of all living beings. He
provides peace and happiness to one and all. Lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu
(May all the people of the world be happy). This is the Will of God. How then
can God cause sorrow to a human being? Unable to understand His Divine Will,
you accuse God of causing sorrow. If you can fathom the Divine Will, you will
realise that everything is only for your good. We are all Embodiments of Bliss.
Day-in and day-out, you experience that bliss and share it with others. Then
only it will increase.
